For most of us since we build games and web games using Unity this may not be a total shocker but as more and more browsers remove an old Netscape Plug-in API (NPAPI) from their system the less likely we are able to use games created from Unity’s Webplayer. Well in version 5.4 of Unity they will remove the webplayer altogether and focus on the WebGL format. Basically this means we need to stop making our games with NPAPI and with WebGL. The good news is they are looking at solutions to try and transfer the old games into a playable format.
Also since that one was rather short here’s another look at “The Beginner’s Guide” from Gamasutra.
It’s funny to I think he basically had the same reaction as I did to the game. I haven’t played through a second time yet, and if I ever met Wreden I probably wouldn’t ask him what his meaning of the game is because it has so much meaning that I feel it should be more personal. That each person has their own individual reaction to it, whether good or bad, is really what I feel that game is about. It’s a game that, even though it’s breaking the rule’s of the game itself, wants to be talked about, wants to be experienced by others, wants to be seen, wants to be heard. I still can’t believe this game has impacted me so much and still feel this should be taught in one of our classes.
