Wild Pockets Gallery publishing was just released. What’s Wild Pockets? It’s a Web-based 3d game development platform. You can create your game, publish it, and sell it all in one place. Now they just made it easier. To demonstrate, I’ll post a model I just exported into the engine below (you’ll of course need the Wildpockets plugin to view this):
You can see the brain I made for Dr. Laser! The gallery publishing makes it that much easier to publish and show off content. By just clicking the checkbox in the new exporter, wildpockets.com will build you a gallery page and a model viewer for your model.
For the 2010 Global Game Jam my team, R², created “¡Dr. Láser! ¿Adorará Ella un robot?”. You can play it at HERE.
Can you hide your true, cold, robot self? Can you fight the urge to laser all human beings? Can you impress your girlfriend’s parents?

I guess this is the big news Epic has been hyping for the past few weeks. The Unreal 3 engine is now free to license for noncommercial and educational use. Plus, if you want to license for a commercial project, it’s just 99 bucks! This is the latest version of the engine used to make games like Gears of War 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and Shadow Complex. Personally, I can’t wait to dig in.
