On January 16, 2012, Game developers and collaborators, Spencer Lindsay of Lindsay Digital – 3D and Paul Reynolds of Blast Off Games Software came into the KZSC radio station to talk about their current work at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, their working process for creating interactive 3d animation.

Spencer and Paul are two technologists and entrepreneurs that have worked together for many years. They met in the early 90s in San Diego as neighbors. At the time, they were both working in game industry (Spence at RockStar and Paul at EA), a time dominated by the “console” platform. Now, they are working in the augmented reality, interactive mobile market that is far more conducive for independent developers.

Over the years and projects together, they have worked out a system for their collaboration. Spencer makes the art (3D modeling in the Maya) and puts it into the game engine/interface application (Unity) and Paul does the software for the digital interactivity, touchy feely stuff.

We talked about various new technologies such for game engines, touch displays, creating smart phone and table apps, and playing around with augmented reality. We discussed the Paul’s two businesses, Dog Treat Bakery, BakersDog.com and MYR.SC, a Digital Magazine for Myrtle Beach based around hyper-local citizen journalism.

Local Digital Artist & Game Developer, Spencer Lindsay, of Lindsay Digital – 3D, came onto Gamers on Game on January 9, 2012 to talk about the gaming industry.

We had a great talk starting with Spencer’s new discovery, the search engine, Duck Duck Go that breaks through the filter bubble, created by Google and others that are saving your preferences and giving you the search results it thinks you want. Duck Duck Go uses information from crowd-sourced sites and an emphasis of privacy and not recording user information. It took under a minute to add it to chrome and have it up and running.

We talked about Spencer’s experience working for large game companies such as Atari, Midway, Angel Studios, and Rockstar. We also talked about his current his interactive educational projects with the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Spencer has a video on his Vimeo Channel showing the plankton from all angles. On his channel, you can his great demo reel.

Spencer will be on again next week to talk about future technologies. This show will be different. We’re inviting people to call in and ask questions.
