Hey, I just joined this clan and was wondering how to get (MIA) on your name tag? Thx AllureOfTheSeas

Welcome to Amplitude-Studios.com

A state of mind!
GAMES2GETHER is a brand new way for players around the world to participate in the creation of a video game.
If you have always dreamt of becoming a real member of a dev team without all the constraints like code debugging, crunch time frenzy and offices smelling of cold pizza, then you have come to the right place!

Intrigued? Here’s how it works
You will be able connect to our website and track, on a weekly basis, the on-going development of the game. More importantly you’ll have a real impact on the game’s content, including art and game design:
- Discover the atmosphere of the dev team, and share our achievements as well as the hurdles we encounter. Watch the preparation of important milestones or game events.
- Get to know each team member (from the shy but incredibly talented Graphic Artist to the over-the-top Creative Director) and discover their personalities (and pet peeves).
- Learn how all these people interact with each other (for better or for worse) and find out how we coordinate our efforts with the external help we need to ship a game.
- Choose art and game design elements that will be included in the final game, and discuss these with the dev team and the rest of the players.
- The most active players will be invited to our studios in Paris as well as promo events, they will get their name in the credits of the game, and a lot more!

That seems all nice but I’m no expert…
There is no need to have any particular dev knowledge. Every week the development team will bring out hot topics for which they will ask players’ preferences and feedback -- all presented in an accessible (and entertaining) way.
Let’s take a quick example: The dev team has been working on some concept art for the game that will be used to create the in-game models.
In a weekly poll, players will be able to choose the concept they prefer from several proposals. That concept will then be used in the final game.
More advanced tools, such as forums, will also be available for the players who want to go into more depth on some game design topics and be in contact with the dev team on a daily basis.
Let's start creating GAMES2GETHER!

So I ,on occasion, find myself to be a smart and educated man who is also dumb as a box of rocks. Perhaps everyone has this feeling from time to time. However at the end of the day I have to say I am pretty ignorant, but as I look around I see that most people in my life are more ignorant than I. So I find myself alone in my thoughts, forced to keep comments to myself, not that I am afraid of offending anyone, but knowing that it would alienate them and I would be left alone. You see some people are born with the ability of attract people and be the 'life' of a party if you will. I on the other hand have a knck for sending them running in the other direction. Maybe I was dropped on my head as a baby, but who knows. Been thinking about doing this for awhile now, even more so now that my game time has dwendled the last couple weeks. I had been thinking I was just too busy only to realize this morning that I have just been too preoccupied in my own thoughts to concentrate on anything. The odd thing is none of these thoughts have been self centered. It has not been myself and my well being I have had in mind. It has been other people in my life and other people of the world of whom I have never met. Now I also sit and ponder, 'what can I do to help?' . I have been doing small things for those I see around me, and getting educated about things in the world and doing what I can, in my own way, to help those I dont know. You see, nothing is going to change itself, no matter how much you sit and wish for it to happen. YOU have to get up, access the situation, and make the change. Sometimes this is scary, but if you have the courage, the reward is often worth the risk

I see mia as family, and i repect you guys so much hope to stay with clan for ever...

Broadcasting this from my 5th Hour class. F.A.C.S. is really boring. Doing a Google Docs presentation on the fruits groups. My group and I got Fruits. Well Bye Now. lololo :eek:

Well I haven't been blogging for a long time. Just finished my spring break and am back at school. Over spring break I was sick, but I played Star Wars: The Old Republic. I am thinking about getting a job over the summer. I need to get one so that I can keep as much out of debt while in college.

While Blizzard turned 20 this year, we're also celebrating Diablo's 15-year anniversary. Senior Vice President of Story & Franchise Development, Chris Metzen, covers the past, present, and future of the Diablo franchise.

today after my Interview with Oneonta Block company,
We drove around up mountains down mountains back into town and well I was suprised to see iDowntown full of people WOW like in the old days when we all would go hang out at the square.
We seen Bagpipes playing then it came to firehandlers and I again was impressed with the crowd staying and cheering on these young people maybe early twenties were outstanding and all ages was roaming around the downtown area it almost seemed like a huge holiday spirit was upon the town
When I inquired as to what was the reason for the special entertainment, I was informed this goes on every weekend that it is possible and warm as it was they needed no coaxing WOW Can a town get any better Oh hell ya the real estate here is more than reasonable and there is plenty to do racing baseball hall of fame are just a couple look to the left and there is a river and a dam OH its looking great for tubing down the rough waters
I may just fall in love with this place

Oh Now to get the job lol

It took me 4 days to create this graphic, from 3D model to full render. The render itself took 2 1/2 hours. The USS New Jersey (BB-62) at sea.

So here we are again, day two of my adventures in Starfleet.
I have to say, it grow on you, fast, lol. I was a little irritated by the object interaction, as in, when you walk into a consol or something, there is no smooth slide along to the egde as in most other gaming engines. Instead, it's like you walked into a small little niche, and have to back out. bleh, get that fixed, Cryptic.

Other that that, the mechanics hold up so far. With a whole galaxy to explore, and tons of Official missions, as well as what appear to be a plethora of community made missions, there promises to be hours of play. Indeed there seems to be a form of trade that i intend to use to become rich, as well as the traditional Enterprise mission to Boldly Go and explore, as well as your Admiral calling you for odd jobs.

There is also fleet ops, where you can play with a group. I will be doing more research on this part as to how we as a clan would use it, and hope to make the subject of the next day or so.
Till then, keep Trekkin'

If you are like me, you love Star Trek. If you are like me in more than one way, you have also been sorely dissappointed in the various attempts at delivering a Star Trek game worth playing. Be it crappy game mechanics or impossible missions or cookie cutter gaming with too easy goals and foes, I have become cynical and refuse to play new titles at first for fear of a letdown.


Now, for Star Trek: Online.
Oh boy. Lol, no for real. It's only day one, and I will be updating this blog as I go through.
At the start first impressions are that the game is a tad bit cumbersome with the control system, but there ends up being a saving grace in the form of "shooter mode" (press b) which makes the control a more intuitive shooter style. Revert back to the normal control for mouse pointer use, and it's a rather dandy control set. Be prepared to spend some time in the beginning of the game as there is a bunch of missions to complete that flow rather quickly, setting the stage for the main game, which appears at first glance to be a rather open universe, that I look forward to exploring.


Besides the fps part, there is also a ship to command in space, oh yeah. Along with your group of officers(npc) you command your ship in battle and just to cruise around. Might I recommend that when you first warp into the stations sector you GO DOWN!!! like holy...cow..the mass of players warping in and breaking for the station are just a disaster waiting to happen. BOOM went many a ship. I did not considering I saw the mass warping in and decided on down asap. In some ways it reminds me of the various "trader" style games I've played over the years since Trade Wars on the old dial-in BBS's.


I look forward to updating this with my latest adventures!
