I'm a game designer and project manager. My focus is on flash game development. I've spent the last couple years in Nashville, TN working to build an indie game development scene in this area. Part12 Studios was a result of that and I hope to see more projects and companies develop here.

I'm sharing my notes from FGS 2009 in San Francisco. They are raw and scattered, but a lot of data was flying around and I did my best to record as much as possible. DISCLAIMER: some facts might be miswriten/typed, but i think it's pretty much right.

great games overall and i look forward to the read: assumption ahead merging of portal game behaviors and HL2 action. Given that there is talk of going to Apature labs to find some kind of technology mentioned, should be a great combination of level design opportunities.. warning rant i've been ...
yea that's really cool. i was fortunate to get to try out a pro demo version and man i gotta say just seeing the real time shadows and other full scren effects in the preview screen really shows how powerful the pro version is and how worth it would be ...
yea i hear his concern and i think it's cool that someone from gearbox who got their start if i'm not mistaken making HL expansions.. clearly someone who's been close to valve in the early days. In all honesty, spinning steam off as a separate company might look good on ...
lol good one about cataclysm : yea it will be interesting if apple will address the issue.. i suppose they don't really need to do anything though as apps are being bought no matter what so it's not in their interest to change anything. they get 30 of every app ...
