For those of you working with Director: If you haven’t noticed already, there is a Beta of Phosphor available. Phosphor is a first person shooter created by Nick Kang.
It’s very amazing to see what is possible with Director and Shockwave 3D. Grafics are rendered in a quality seen on PS1 or in computer games three years ago – with one big difference: This one is running in your browser, has a filesize of 4MB(!) and is capable of serving multiuser games right out of the box. If you are running it just for yourself, up to 8 Bots are trying to make your life harder as it was a few minutes ago.
Check it out!
Pretty amazing stuff. A colleague and i have played a quick round in network mode. Configuration is a little… lets say obfuscated, but it works like charm.
Only the yahoo bar installation notifier is a little disturbing.
But now its time to stop playing broswer games and get battlefield vietnam up and running ;-)
Ciao Marco
The Yahoo bar is crap, I know. Everybody in the Shockwave/Director Beta was against it, but nobody @ Macromedia heard our voices. They thought, it would improve revenue… But we are lucky: We are able to deactivate it while installing Shockwave… ;-)
