Maurício Gomes's Blog

I am a student, lone wolf game maker, programming, design and production consultant (mostly for smaller studios, or new studios), and conference speaker (mostly about free software being used in game development).

I have a blog, inspired by "sloperama", where I guide newbies of the industry, but in portuguese: criadordejogos.wordpress.com

Also, I have a english blog, about my solo company in blog.agfgames.com

 

Here in Gamasutra there are unique posts, the best post of blog.agfgames.com and maybe some translated posts from criadordejogos.wordpress.com
