Announcing GAMMA 3D

August 15th, 2008 by fish

Kokoromi is proud to finally unveil the theme of our third annual GAMMA event: STEREOSCOPY!

Announcing GAMMA 3D! (get it? 1, 256, 3D…), an international showcase of independently made stereoscopic games. Gamma 3D is an exploration of the impact stereoscopy can have on gameplay, in the cheapest, most lo-fi and DIY way we could think of: red/blue 3D! Anaglyphic red/blue stereoscopy, to be precise. Presented in collaboration with the Society for Arts and Technology, and the Montreal International Game Summit, the event will be held on November 19th, At the SAT, in Montreal.

Developers around the world have until October 15th to submit their games. Kokoromi will announce the chosen games on November 1st.

And as with every GAMMA event, this one culminates in a great big art show game party with everybody wearing 3D glasses.

Our official base of operation will once again be hosted over at TIGSource. Questions will be answered, and hopefully, technology and ideas shared.

Check out the gam3a page for all the details, rules and technical guidelines.

    Wow…was not expecting anything like this. This is going to be tough. I have no clue at the moment as to what I’ll do.

    Long Time, No Update…

    Updates.  I’ve got a couple projects in the cooker.  First, a short-form comic that I…
