Thanks for the summaries, Weekly Team! Of particular interest should be the upcoming release of a game that takes in data from OSM, which might sometimes result in edits adding fake data for sake of having data in the game, as we saw with Pokémon Go:
"The Scandinavian gaming website IGN Nordic provides some insight about the upcoming augmented reality game Minecraft Earth. The map in the game is based on OpenStreetMap. Minecraft’s creative director recommends that players join OSM for editing, something that people with Pokémon GO in mind may hear with mixed feelings. The Guardian featured Minecraft Earth in article titled “Minecraft Earth is coming – it will change the way you see your town” and included three sections about OSM." - weeklyOSM "Where are the parks, where are the trails, where are the sidewalks, what streets are closed, open, what are the opening hours of all this? We ingest all of that, and we turn it into Minecraft. We re-ingest the whole world once every month, we re-ingest every part of the world, and then reflect that in the game." - https://nordic.ign.com/switch/29645/interview/18-things-we-just-learnt-about-minecraft-and-minecraft-earth "It’ll give you information about areas that are not so nice, like really shady clubs. We use these tags to generate a blacklist of where not to place items" - https://www.theguardian.com/games/2019/oct/01/minecraft-earth-launch-games-microsoft-augmented-reality Thanks, --Jarek On Sun, 13 Oct 2019 at 06:29, weeklyteam <theweekly....@gmail.com> wrote: > > The weekly round-up of OSM news, issue # 481, > is now available online in English, giving as always a summary of all things > happening in the openstreetmap world: > http://www.weeklyosm.eu/en/archives/12448/ > > Enjoy! > > Did you know that you can also submit messages for the weeklyOSM?
