The entire Sickhead Games crew will be in attendance at the 2009 Game Developers Conference this year.  Be sure to stop by the Garage Games booth on the Expo Floor to see some great new tech we’ve been contributing to Torque 3D, and have a go at our lush “South Pacific” demo.  Tom will be at the booth giving a brief presentation at 2:00 pm on Thursday, discussing the demo and showing off our new Torque Forest Kit technology.

The Sickhead team is currently working feverishly on tools and tech for the next version of Torque 3D (formerly TGEA), the flagship 3D gaming engine from Garage Games. Expected to be released later this year, T3D will be packed with some amazing, long awaited features and improvements. Follow Brett Seyler’s development blogs on the Garage Games site for details. Some very exciting stuff happening!

We briefly had some Be the Dinosaur pods in the office recently for testing. Check out the Flickr set for more photos.

As part of finishing up the first phase of Be The Dinosaur, James took the time to write up a postmortem specifically on the dino AI.  It’s a bit technical, but if you’re vaguely familiar with AI programming it should be easy to follow.  You can find the post and the PDF over on his GG plan.
