More on a “new” GameDev Framework…

Some links to various discussions going on centering around the ideas in my previous post about what gamedev can learn from web2.0: Scott Hilbert has a response, mainly focused on rendering, at his newly restarted blog; and there’s also the two threads on GameDev.Net where I originally started spouting my ideas.

    Hi Troy-

    I know this isn’t what you mean when you talk about Web 2.0 and games, but I thought you’d appreciate it none the less…

    By the way, I’ve long dreamed of the kind of system you’re talking about. That’s what drew me to VRML back in the day, then to RenderWare much later on. I think the closest we’ve gotten is the Quake 1 engine. Not so much because it was this perfect, data-driven system, but rather because for a period of a couple years most of the cool 3D stuff was being done in it — from art to tools to mods to machinima and all that.

    Once other accessible 3D engines arrived the community split into a million little pieces, and in some ways we’ve been trying to recover ever since.

    That’s my take on it, anyhow.

    Cheers from Chicago,
    Patrick
