Event: Texas Independent Game Conference

The Texas Independent Game Conference takes place in Austin on July 22nd/23rd and attendees will get the chance to hear from indie veterans willing to share their successes and their experience as well as presentations addressing market trends, distribution, on-line security, development tools, IP protection, structuring a deal and the opportunities in the mobile and casual game segments.

Highlights include keynotes from Warren Spector and Greg Costikyan and sessions from Gordon Walton (Bioware), Jay Moore (Garage Games), Dan Prigg (Real Networks) and Jessica Tams (Casual Game Association). A Game Demo Party has been added to the program and attendees are encouraged to bring their games and get direct feedback from other developers and publishers. The full program is available online, and registration for the event is just $105.

�The Conference gives indie game developers the chance to hear from their peers, to hear from people who have faced the same challenges� said Conference Director Steve Farrer, �The Game Demo Party on Saturday night will give everyone a chance to show off their latest ideas, as well as having a lot of fun.�

The roundtable discussions will also allow attendees to meet informally to discuss topics such as Open Source technology in game development, game prototyping, etc.

Rise of Software-Defined LEO Satellites

From my vantage point, few areas are evolving as rapidly and with such profound implications as the space sector. For decades, satellites were essentially fixed hardware – powerful, expensive, but ultimately immutable once launched. That paradigm is undergoing a transition driven by Software-Defined Satellites (SDS). A recent market study by ABI Research underscores this transition, painting a picture of technological advancement and a fundamental reshaping of global connectivity, security, and national interests. LEO SDS Market Development The core concept behind SDS is deceptively simple yet revolutionary: decouple the satellite's capabilities from its physical hardware. Instead of launching a satellite designed for a single, fixed purpose (like broadcasting specific frequencies to a specific region), SDS allows operators to modify, upgrade, and reconfigure a satellite's functions after it's in orbit, primarily through software updates. The ABI Research report highlights ...
