The San Francisco Games Revolution Is Over

-
舊金山一直都是產業革命的出生地，遊戲曾經是他們最感興趣的投資項目，Facebook、iOS、Android、Social game，甚至後來的Gamification應用無不都帶來了巨大的成功。不過它已經被改變了:
Social: 被過於高估，不持久。
Price: 開始有了削價競爭。
Scale: 規模太大，平台太多。
Behaviourism: 有些模式沒辦法一直反覆使用，玩家發覺後，這東西價值就變低了。

 最後的競爭利器: Graphics! Graphics! Graphics! 九零年代到2006年，Graphics一直都是工作室彼此的主要競爭項目，成本不斷被堆高，到了現在竄出頭的mobile game、social game，還是要靠Graphics來決鬥。

 不過誰又能知道下一代的舊金山遊戲革命會是甚麼呢?

董事長您好

今天第一次被跟我同天生日的董事長記住名子，開會第一次被問話時發言結結巴巴...眼前一面漆黑，真是讓我尷尬，還好後來慢慢開始講的流利起來，果然還是要多練習報告...

After reading Steve Jobs Autobiography

賈伯斯傳看完了，我覺得如果沒時間看完這麼厚一本書的人，可以只看後面五頁。關於賈伯斯他希望留下的東西:  一個公司重要的還是產品，獲利是因為你的產品夠好才帶來的附屬品。 產品要在消費者想到前就告訴他你需要的是這個。 關於要怎麼選你的公司掌舵者呢?  工程師或是設計師可能是比較好的選擇。 要不斷讓自己繼續前進， 感謝前人的努力，站在前人的肩膀上奉獻自己的才能，讓世界更好。

Drawing textured cube with Vulkan on Android

Vulkan is a modern hardware-accelerated Graphics API. Its goal is providing an high efficient way in low-level graphics and compute on modern GPUs for PC, mobile, and embedded devices. I am personally working a self training project, vulkan-android , to teach myself how to use this new APIs. The difference between OpenGL and Vulkan OpenGL: Higher level API in comparison with Vulkan, and the next generation of OpenGL 4 will be Vulkan.   Cross-platform and Cross-language (mostly still based on C/C++, but people implemented diverse versions and expose similar API binding based on OpenGL C++, WebGL is a good example).  Mainly used in 3D graphics and 2D image processing to interact with GPU in order to achieve hardware acceleration. Don't have a command buffer can be manipulated at the application side. That means we will be easily see draw calls being the performance bottleneck in a big and complex 3D scene. Vulkan: Cross-platform and low-overhead. Erase the boundary between GPU API an
