Synopsis:

=========

Uncharted Waters Online (UWO) is Koei's second MMO game. Its service started in Japan from March 2005. Website at http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/dol/

 

UWO is a 3D game that does not require high performance PCs. It can run smoothly even on PCs with onboard graphics chipsets and on standard laptops.

 

With a high-performance PC, UWO is able to fully utilize the latest CG technology, including realistic ocean rendering.

 

The lecture will cover the business strategy of developing UWO as well as touch on some general programming tips.
