DoubleBear Productions is a new indie game studio headed up by ex-Troika Games legend Brian Mitsoda and Annie Carlson who worked on Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir. Their mission? To make a ZRPG, Zombie Role Playing Game to be exact.
Adventure games never went anywhere, but if there’s one developer that’s given the genre a massive resurgence of late, then it’s the guys at Telltale Games. Taking some well loved and fondly remembered classic properties like Sam & Max, Wallace & Gromit and Homestar Runner, they appear to be the only company that has truly made the episodic gaming formula work on a long term basis. Their latest treasure comes from the booty of a collaboration with the former masters…
It has been 8 months since the launch of World of Goo by Ron Carmel and Kyle Gabler more commonly known as 2D Boy. I recently had a quick catch up with them both about the success of World of Goo and what they are planning on doing next.
I had the pleasure recently to speak to Jonas Waever, the ‘creative lead and handyman’ of The Nameless Mod. This was an ideal time to talk to him, the mod for Deus Ex has been available for a few days now and they have already had 4,000 downloads. Read on to see the full interview.
It’s been an admittedly quiet weekend, mostly thanks to Plato and girlfriends, but we’ve got an excellent interview for your viewing pleasure today, following on from last weeks event (we’ll certainly be having another next week. But we’ll probably be online on the Steam group tonight anyway if someone wants to play something!) We’ve got Dan Menard, Project Lead of the Eternal Silence team on the horn today, on the development of the mod, and some reflections now it’s part…
There’s plenty of interesting interviews out on that there intertube today, so rather than individually examine them all, I thought I’d collate them for your viewing pleasure. First up, there’s a highly interesting interview with Paul Wedgewood of Splash Damage fame (Enemy Territory) over on GamesIndustry.biz . I found his points about review scores particularly interesting. I really don’t feel personally that scores are truly reflective of games these days. You simply cannot put into quantified terms whether World of…
Today under the spotlight, we have Vic Davis, indie game developer extraordinaire, and all around nice guy. He’s the man responsible for the truly unique and excellent Armageddon Empires, one of the finest turn-based strategy games I think I’ve ever played. Today, he takes some time out of his busy schedule producing the brilliant looking Solium Infernum to answer some of our questions.
We recently managed to wangle an interview with Mike Patton, the voice behind the Common Infected in Left 4 Dead, The Darkness in the game of the same name, and the eponymous hero in Bionic Commando. Oh, and I heard he did the Anger Sphere of GLaDOS. He’s also one of the driving forces behind Faith no More, Mr. Bungle and more recently Fantomas. After hearing about the voice acting process from some of the boys at Valve, we wanted…
I am a big fan of Trials 2 by RedLynx, I think it is one of the finest indie games currently on the market. The mix of physics with the desire to go one better than your previous ride is massively appealing to me. So it was with great pleasure that I got to pose some questions to three of the men who were behind the game. Tero is the CEO of the company, Antti is the co-found and Creative…
Red Alert 3 is the latest game in the Red Alert franchise, Steve thought it was good and from what I have played I must concur. If you haven’t played it yet then it is well worth checking out demo for it. I recently got the chance to pose a few questions at the lead designer of Red Alert 3, Jason Torres, the results of which can be seen after the jump.
