you don’t need a “fat pipe” for online gaming…but a fast connection is a big benefit. Just try playing a FPS game on a dial-up and you’ll quickly see how important your speed is to the gaming experience. “He was right in the middle of my cross-hairs when i shot him…why isn’t he dead!” Well, because he wasn’t really where your computer said he was…your computer was giving you outdated information (by just a fraction of a second, but still outdated)…so actually he wasn’t in your cross-hairs when you fired the weapon…he was a few feet to the left…and now he’s right next to you…and now he’s stabbed you in the back with his knife…now you’re dead…wow, this isn’t that fun…I’m going back to Zork.

Our industry is doing very well actually, (video game, home entertainment) which is to be expected. It seems during economic downturns people still spend money on home entertainment, if not moreso than usual…not sure if it’ll last, but that has been the case in the past.

There are a few companies that have closed their doors recently, but that is par for the course in game development. A few have also recently opened up shop and are hiring. In fact, we’re having a bit of trouble hiring for some of our more senior positions because there is a bit of competition among employers.

Last week, i was talking with a couple friends about the weakening dollar and the possible effect it would have on outsourcing. In years past, film, television, and game development have been done in Canada (and other places) because it was cheaper. As the dollar declines, and the cost savings decrease, will some development return to the US? There are plenty more factors that need to be considered, but it was food for our conversation.
