PlaneShift Google Tech Talk!

Cheers mate,

I think this will be quite informative for many folks in various fields as well as curious fans.

I wonder when they let me have my talk on the death of roleplay, literacy, and attention . . .

(this is all a cleverly disguised thread bump)

I liked it.  Even though I know nothing about code, I learned quite a few things about the game's development.  And to boot, I now have a face to attach to Vengeance.

I was wondering where I could get some of the slides for this presentation. I want to watch it again and pick up on the finer points, but it had a LOT of good information in it.

I just had the chance recently to watch this tech talk and I must say, that it was very very interesting. Thanks for sharing and a big thanks to Keith for doing it.

Greetings,

I also just watched this yesterday, very nice. Thanks for the time and effort Vengeance (and people behind the scenes)! I was impressed by the need/hate system used to control npcs. Simple and effective, yet quite realistic if you think about it. And events affecting these values are only limited by imagination. I couldn't help but think ulbernauts getting some this.hate++ when spotting a traveller with ulbernaut hide on his shoulders. That's in the future of course, but I'm positively surprised how you've taken these things in consideration from the beginning. And now I finally understand the "super" in npc superclient.

Again, good work, and thanks UtM for posting.

Best wishes,

Great comment Cherppow!  :-)  It really appears you did get a lot out of it.  I love the idea of Ulbernauts hating players more who are wearing Ulber hides.  A very PS-ish idea imho.  :-)  Thanks for watching.
