GTA IV Episodes Coming To Disc As Standalone Game

May 27, 2009 No comments

Today's newly announced The Ballad of Gay Tony episode for Grand Theft Auto IV was only half of Rockstar's GTA news. The other half could usher in a new approach to downloadable content.

Rockstar Games announced that the fall-slated The Ballad of Gay Tony and the February-released GTA IV episode The Lost and Damned will be released as a compilation disc for the Xbox 360 this fall.

The disc, entitled Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City, will retail for $39.99. Unlike the downloadable versions of each episode, the disc-based Episodes will not require a copy of the original Grand Theft Auto IV to play.

Requiring that players own the core game has been the tradition for post-release DLC of major console games. Rockstar's announcement today signals the first prominent experiment with a second approach, one that treats add-on content as a standalone expansion playable on its own.

Platinum Arts Sandbox for 3D game development

I was searching on Youtube for various stuff about 3d game development and I found this:

Sandbox is a game design tool based on the Cube 2 engine that allows users to quickly and easily create and edit their own worlds in game, even cooperatively. It is free, open source, and easy to use for Kids and Adults.

It's not like Gamemaker but it looks interesting and easy to learn so I will give it a try.
You can download the program for FREE from the official site here.

I started working with Gamemaker since 2005. A game development tool focused mostly for 2D games, but my biggest passion was to create 3D games with it.
Started with the basics with almost zero knowledge of programming, followed many tutorials and videos and with the help of the amazing community at the GMC forums I learned a lot.
I created several games with Gamemaker, mostly was for fun and for personal practice to help me get some experience by trying all kinds of games. Very few of those games have made it to the public.
Bellow is a list with the games I created with Gamemaker in chronological order.
Feel free to download and enjoy my games. All your comments are welcome here.
