Kyle Jansen's Blog

I'm an aspiring game designer, currently in college. I'm attempting to teach myself at least the basics in all the areas of game creation - game design, programming, model/texture creation, music, and story. So far, I think I'm doing pretty well.

Comment In: Opinion: Microsoft hasn't lost the war yet. They're fighting a different war. [Blog - 06/11/2013 - 02:47]

The Xbox One may make ...

The Xbox One may make sense as a video entertainment system that also plays games , but it 's priced completely wrong for that. A light gaming system should not cost 25 more than the pure gaming system . r n r nFurther, the integration of Kinect makes little sense ...

I 've started to see Gamasutra linked more often by the gamer-oriented press eg. Kotaku . So they come here, and sign up to post comments, acting like it 's a site for game players and not game creators . r n r nI 'm not sure whether this is ...

Sort of a sad year for the games industry when one small downloadable title is so much better than everything else, that the only mainstream game to win an award gets it for technology. r n r nI was going to say something about how while Journey was great, it ...

Comment In: Apathy and refunds are more dangerous than piracy. [Blog - 03/18/2013 - 05:10]

That 's a rather illogical view for someone to take. r n r nWhich would you rather have - 10 people buy your game, and zero pirates, or 100 people buy the game and 1000 pirate The completely rational actor used in economic theories would prefer the second, not caring ...

Comment In: Opinion: Nvidia Shield is a confused mishmash of current trends [News - 01/07/2013 - 09:26]

I think we need to ...

I think we need to keep in mind that Nvidia is primarily a hardware vendor, not a console vendor. r n r nI think a large part of their Shield strategy is building a market with many games that require, or at least prefer, Tegra 4. If they succeed at ...
