  • Rewriting old player movement code

    In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • A long, long time ago, I was a pixel artist

  • A time for change

    Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

There's an interesting article over at [url="http://slashdot.org/articles/04/08/29/1429246.shtml?tid=95"]Slashdot reporting[/url] that the Japanese government is "forming a working group to develop internet technologies that will hopefully allow homes to receve 10 gigabit internet connections by 2010."

10Gbit online connection at home! That's just plain nutty. Now, with my lame calculations using Moore's Law, we'd have 48ghz computers by then too, but I'm curious as to what you think are the possibilities of online gaming in the future. Give me your speculations, wishes, and worries for the direction of online gaming with that much bandwidth and power available...

Huge online battles like those seen in Helms Deep for example?

Add to that they will have also decided to actually provide broadband access to most areas around capital cities.

Japan is sort of lucky considering they have a huge amount of people over a small area. They can afford to lay fibre optic cables all over the country. Australia telecommunication network is antiquated to say the least. Actually, of all the first world countries I would bet we have the worst.
