A Song for Kentia Hall |
| Posted by jaime kuroiwa on Fri, 05 Jun 2009 04:49:00 EDT in
|
| As many saw Kentia Hall as an insignificant page on an otherwise voluminous E3, I want to redirect the spotlight to the place where Robosapien, Classic Gaming Expo, Lineage, and Guitar Hero were born. Please enjoy.

Comment In: An Indie Developer’s “Biggest Mistake” [Blog - 11/18/2009 - 10:55]
|
The Little Big Planet example ... The Little Big Planet example is a little misleading. Media Molecule consisted of professionals from Lionhead Studios, and the concept they presented to Sony was a robust tech demo http://www.youtube.com/watch v TF2mTdSHRRU , not just a worded pitch or a bunch of drawings. I'm sure there was a whole lot ... |

Comment In: Randy Smith: Do Games Need To Be Fun? [News - 11/17/2009 - 02:46]

Although I agree with brandon ... Although I agree with brandon brown that fun and engagement are the same thing, I have to say that engagement more adequately describes the experience that we seem to be striving for. Saying that something is fun to someone -- especially a non-gamer -- gives the impression that it's immature ... |

A lot of times, a movie that had performed poorly in the theater will make up the losses in the Home release. For the Home release, ... |

Comment In: Who REALLY Says Your Product Is Done? Not Who You Think [Blog - 10/26/2009 - 04:06]
|
Hi Mac, I can't disagree ... Hi Mac, I can't disagree that testers verify bug fixes -- that's why they're paid the big bucks -- but QA has very little to do with the overall product cycle. It is rare that a title ships when it's ready. I can only recall one or two times when ... |

Comment In: The Value of Game Ideas [Blog - 10/27/2009 - 03:21]
|
All I see in the ... All I see in the examples are: Platformer, Adventure, and RPG. These don't appear to be especially valuable game ideas. I don't think they adequately illustrate your point that all game ideas are worthless. Certainly, there is a valid proof is in the pudding argument, but all ideas are invaluable ... |
