Online Games Special Interest Group - IGDA

April 4, 2007 at 8:01 pm · Filed under IGDA, News

Selected as the section coordinator of the Future section of the International Game Developer Association (IGDA) – Special Interest Group’s online games White Paper 2007 and Wikipedia project.

Mission Statement

The 2007 IGDA Online Games SIG Persistent World Whitepaper - a work in progress that aims to take advantage of the interactive, fluid nature of the Wiki format to develop a central canon of knowledge created by and for the community of online game developers on the art, craft, and science of online game development.

This will be a combination of ‘approved’ texts on the core aspects of our industry from committee-approved contributors, and a forum for deeper discussion related to the various topics.

For each topic covered, you will find three sections:

  • Core Texts have been written by key experts in the industry and are designed to provide the reader with an immediate understanding of the issues relating to that particular aspect of the industry. These texts have been reviewed and approved by the 2007 Whitepaper Advisory Committee.
  • Further Reading sections assume that the reader has either read the Core Text or was already familiar with the subject in question, and offer a deeper, perhaps contradictory view of the topic in hand. These texts have been reviewed and approved by the 2007 Whitepaper Advisory Committee.
  • Springboard sections combine links to our Online Game SIG forums with user contributions and discussions on each topic, along with links to pages created by users and external reference sites relating to a given topic. This is the most fluid section of the project.
