The IGDA Leadership Forum will host two complementary tracks. The Production Track will focus on the nuts and bolts of game production, such as scheduling techniques, post-mortems, and project pipelines. The Leadership Track will cover general leadership skills as well as more advanced team management and motivation techniques. Both tracks will consist of a mix of one-hour lectures, panels, and roundtables.

TOP SECRET PROJECT - WIKI





Main Page - TOP SECRET PROJECT - WIKI

Welcome to the Project Top Secret Wiki!

Project Top Secret was set up and is being directed by long time gaming veteran David Perry, creator of games such as Earthworm Jim, MDK, and Matrix:Path of Neo. The project is supported by Acclaim Entertainment, and the resulting game will be published by Acclaim.

The purpose of Project Top Secret is, primarily, to enlist a community of thousands of gamers to collaborate with each other in the development of a Massive Multiplayer Online Racing Game for wide distribution. The game will be free to play and advertising supported. Top Secret is also a way to help spotlight and encourage game design and development talent that can be found all over the world, and a special prize awaits one individual who stands out in a substantial way during the course of the project, which is scheduled to last approximately one year. The majority of the project will take place on the Top Secret forums, and there is room for up to 100,000 people to join the project.

The design process is split into Milestones, each one representing a substantial design phase. Once we complete a Milestone we then move to the next one. Milestones are split into Tasks, all of which must be completed before moving to the next Milestone. There may be many Tasks running at the same time.

This Wiki will be used to record the full process of the development from Day One. You will be able to see which Tasks have been completed, the results of each, and which are currently in progress.

As new Milestones or Tasks are opened or added, they will be recorded here. Until a Milestone or Task is opened, it will NOT be on this Wiki. There is no crystal ball here, but you WILL be able to see currently running tasks and those tasks already completed.
