Mastering Unreal With Instruction Videos

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a HomeLan Fed interview with Jason Busby of 3D Buzz, talking about the Mastering Unreal project, an Epic-backed service which releases free, downloadable videos teaching users how to create levels, vehicles, AI, and whole mods for Unreal Tournament 2K3. According to Busby, "Currently, we have 64 videos available for download.. the videos themselves range anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours, depending on what is being covered and the amount of information that we must get across to the student." This project is running in conjunction with the Make Something Unreal mod competition we covered a few days ago, and seems like a very positive step to help people get creative and make cool new game mods/assets.

Cool. Does it run on Linux? ;-)

The Future

[Schezar]

Some day, people will pay "Counterstrike 3" instructors the rates they pay golf instructors today, only adding kills instead of shaving strokes.

We'll see video games on television alongside real sports.

We'll see kids passing up college for professional gaming contracts with the big teams.

Now, not any time soon, mind you ;^) But think about how much has changed in the gaming industry in the past 20 years. Imagine how much it will change in the next 80. Our grandkids will look at what we play today the way we look at the games cavemen played with the bones of their dinners ^_^

(I love games.slashdot.org. No one's here yet, so I can ramble on and on and not get modded down ;^)
