DB Labs!

Creative minds cry when inventing new is forbidden. I like to think creatively on new ideas that might be possibly reused or simply tested true or false. If we share some interests, please contact me. I’m more than happy to discuss below subjects:

  • OS Theory and Development

    Currently, major investigations are related to the Web. Silverlight 4.0 had been announced at PDC 09. After conference I decided to test it and a concept of Web OS put into a cloud. Here is a picture of basic idea made in SketchFlow. It mainly describes virtualization of file system through shared folders (like Windows Live Mesh) and shared disk space somewhere in the cloud. Additionally with MEF supported (multiple XAPs for a single SL app) it seems perfect to use it as an umbrella for user-level applications.

  • Interactive Storytelling

    I’m investigating current and possibly new ways of interactive storytelling for games. Work is heavily in progress, check some recent articles in Games Industry to follow my thinking.

  • Trends in Games Industry (analysis and market research)

    How future games will look like. What business model will win. Where is the money now. What ideas gamers will probably adopt very soon and what ideas will vanish soon after proposed. I’m interested in games since childhood. While saying “I’m interested” I mean not only playing, but also analyzing potential and opportunities in the industry itself. Some of my comments you may read in Game Industry category on this blog. I do speak about games occasionally for various audience. Summary coming from my presentation in December 2009 is presented in these articles.
