[Bf-gamedev] Several Concerns about GSOC

[FRANCISCO ORTIZ]

Hello Susie and welcome! :)

I think an important thing to consider when doing level design (or
programming tools to do it) is which is the size of the team.

So for example there is one front which would be more related to efforts
from Blenderfoundation and "bigger" teams:

http://code.blender.org/index.php/2013/09/valve-steam-workshop-donations-2-devs-get-hired/

When I say "big" team I say something like this:

http://blog.wolfire.com

(Please Don't forget to check ideas from Wolfire related to level design).

In the other corner Blender Game Development is this (which is more to do
 with "one man show"):

http://blenderartists.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?34-Game-Engine

Considering both worlds, I believe everyone can benefit from realtime
feedback, specially while we are making prototypes.

Pretty much in the line that game developer Eskil Steenberg does for Uv
Mapping:

Some important / active names inside Blender game development related to C,
C++ and Python programming:

Campbell (specially because of YoFrankie project).
Moguri
Dalai Felinto

I hope that helps to get you started,

Yours,

Ortiz
