Way back at Adobe Max 2007 in Chicago (I can’t wait for 2008 in SanFran!) I went to the Director sessions. They were giving out pens to promote the next version of Director (which will officially be announced at the GDC this week according to online sources). I’d promised to put pictures of the pen online.
I finally got around to it 🙂
The pen has the new Director logo on one side, and the slogan “Make Better Games” on the others. Inside the pen are two metallic balls that you try to get through the red plastic maze. Very cool 3D game for the real world. I wonder if Adobe will have a 3D version of this shipping as a sample with the new Director. That would be cool.

For those that might be interested in watching the session, you can drop by and watch the entire sneak peek. It is a large FLV, so not sure how long I’ll get to keep it at that location. There is no audio at the start, and you have to really crank it up to hear things.
My poor little Mac Mini that hosts this site has been doing a bit of crashing lately due to lack of RAM. I plugged in the maximum 1 gig earlier this evening, so we’ll see how it goes. For the most part it is like one of those energizer bunnies and it just keeps going and going. Of course with OSX 10.4 and half a gig of ram it was just marginally sitting there with 12 meg free. Remember when that number was big…my how times have changed.

The video from the Director 11 Sneak Peek session has made it out on to the web! I’d heard that our company got mentioned in the session, and lo and behold, it was really in there. We (aka ExploreLearning) were the middle item listed under educational content publishers. A bit small in this picture, but I still feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
The video for this session is rather long (aka large file) so I’m turning it in to a FLV and we’ll see where I can put it up. Those on the Direct-L mailing list probably noticed where the video is currently sitting, and if you really need to see it soon you can go ahead and join the list to see the archives from this week.

Sorry for not getting anything up more quickly. Work continues to suck away my fun time…
A nice summary of the Sneak Peek session was written up. I didn’t make it there, but did make it to the BOF session. I’ll post a bit more about that this weekend. I also believe someone videotaped the Sneak Peek and hopefully will find that on YouTube somewhere.
Also..just noticed that comments on this site haven’t been working for the past n (or maybe n+1) months. Oh well 🙂

I’ll be heading off to Chicago tomorrow morning to attend MAX. I’ll be at the BOF session for Director and lots of other sessions during the week (ok..just three days). The conference sold out, so I expect this to be a great time.
Flickr already has lots of photos going up with the max2007 tag. I’ll try to get a few up if I find a few spare minutes.
If you want to get in touch, drop me an email (multimediaguy @ gmail . com) or search for Raman on that “flashy” contact thing Adobe set up for the conference.
Now…what have I forgotten to pack?

Seems as if Director 11 will be attending MAX 2007! Time to look in to getting reservations and such. Chicago in the fall…with Director 11. I can’t wait.

As was somewhat expected, Director is entirely missing from Adobe Max 2007. Always a dissapointment. Our company was hoping to use the “send 3 for the price of 2” special, but it now looks like it will be a send no one, spend nothing conference.
In recent blog posts a new version (and future versions) were mentioned by key people from Adobe, but it is just always frustrating that the product is entirely ignored by Macromedia (and now Adobe).

The planning for Adobe Max 2007 continues, and you can now submit products for the Max Awards. Perhaps Chamber of Chat (a recent Adobe Site of the Day) or Habbo Hotel would stand a chance. Both great Massive Multi-player Role Playing Games. [Note: Briefly reading the awards page I’m not clear if the project had to be made just during this year, or just a project in general.]
The conference will be in Chicago this fall (September 30 – October 3, 2007) and I’m hoping to attend…particularly if they have at least one session related to Director (it has been many years since that has occurred). Requests for a Director session got mentioned in the comments over on the Max 2007 Blog.
