Live Move
AiLive has developed a new tool, LiveMove, to aid in the development of Wii games. The tool records data while you make gestures with the controller. It displays feedback immeadiately so you can see how easily your gesture is recognized. This should definitely help speed up the development cycle for Wii teams! Check out the AiLive page and have a look at one of the several videos listed on YouTube.

Advice on Tools Development
Here is an article from Ben Campell entitled "Swiss Army Chainsaw: A Common Sense Approach to Tool Development". He's got some good advice for any tools developer out there, ranging from the technical to the not so technical. Anything you guys would add to his article?

Welcome!
Welcome to the Tools SIG blog! I'm going to try to keep this updated with recent news articles and events that pertain to tools development in the gaming industry. If there's something you feel should be discussed on here, please email me at tool_sig@igda.org.
Also don't forget - we've got a new forum going as well as an email list. Right now these are all just getting off the ground, so have patience. ;)
