TV Superstars

GDC was a few weeks ago now and things have been rather busy but I thought I’d quickly mention that the game I’ve been working on at Cambridge Studio for a while has finally been announced! TV Superstars is a party game where you play yourself, taking part in a number of different TV shows in the hope of making it big and becoming a world famous superstar. It utilises the new PlayStation Move motion controller (which you can learn all about on the PS EU blog) and you’ll be using the PlayStation Eye to actually put your face in the game!

Eurogamer has a brief bit about it in their PlayStation Move Hands On article.

And yes, that is me in the promotional screenshots 8)

9th March 2010 - 1 hr (from 17:03 to 18:07)

My dear friend Paul, alerted to me IOGraph this week – it’s a rather simple but lovely program that records your mouse movements across your desktop and outputs a PNG. Why? Well, why the heck not!

You can also add your desktop background into the image to clearly show where your mouse pointer spends most of its time – I just added the major traffic routes (Maya, basically) as notes on Flickr.

I think the results are quite striking – what do you reckon? I might well try a little experiment once I finish work where I try and run it every day for the 3 months that I’m off and then animate the results somehow… Could be cool!
