  • Own a 3D printer? Want to make a GLaDOS ceiling lamp? If you said "yes" to these questions then great news, dragonator on Instructables posted up a very lengthy and worthwhile how-to on doing just that! Like the nice guy he is, he also included all of the 3D files you'll need to put into your printer to get the job done.

  • Spectacular game development superblog #AltDevBlogADay has just posted up an article on creating good puzzle design.

    Quote:
    Next up I assembled the puzzles in-game and turned them loose on our testers. I quickly discovered that what seems easy to me after working on the game full-time for nine months isn’t necessarily as easy for gamers who haven’t spent that type of time with the product. Test, test test. Who knew? There’s a fine line between challenging and “Nuts to this” with gamers.

    If you have a few minutes and you find puzzle design interesting or important, give it a read. And shout out to the the author on Twitter!
  • Cinematic designer at BioWare Zachariah Scott and composer Lars Erik Fjøsne created this awesome Turret Anthem. The song is awesome, but the clip just finishes it. Enjoy!
