The Steam era
Sep 15th
Over 1,500 games, 54 millions active user accounts and sales renown to sell countless copies of games that will probably never be played. This is the place a lot of indies hope their game will go to be mindlessly grabbed by some cheap bastards like me.
Live or die, when it’s really needed
I wish I had [...]
Tomorrow we will still be struggling indies
Feb 10th
I don’t mean to piss on Double Fine’s parade but their incredible experience on Kickstarter in the last 24 hours doesn’t mean a whole lot to most of us. For most of us tomorrow will be the same.
Is you name on Wikipedia? Did you released a critically acclaimed game? Did you tape a video with Cookie [...]
Why you should be making an MMO
Jun 21st
Well honestly I couldn’t care less what you make or don’t make. Do and show me that’s it. Unlike some other people I don’t try to convince anyone of anything. I write about my experience and if it can help someone in making or not making something then great. If not then great too! I’m [...]
Gaming is now mainstream so suck it
Mar 21st
Too bad for “gamers” I guess. Or should I say too bad for gamers who stubbornly keep buying the games they like to complain about?
So what does it mean that gaming is now mainstream? It means that there’s much more money to be made with safer bets than with risky ones. It means that gamers [...]
The hardest thing is to let go
Nov 28th
Or maybe I should say that the hardest thing is to face that working hard just doesn’t cut it. You need to be good, you need to be brilliant, you need to have that little spark in your mind. I don’t think I have much of this. I’m just able to get work done but [...]
The things we hate about games
Nov 13th
Oh the web … The ultimate media of the people or the sandbox of haters? …
Games are too linear
I guess you all have seen this in the last few days. Personally I don’t quite see what’s so wrong about it. Were FPS ever so much better? Is exploration and freedom the only worthwhile attributes to [...]
A look at the Flash games category and my recent experience
Oct 23rd
For some time I thought there was no such thing as “Flash games”. I just thought there were games built using Flash. Well I must admit I am now revising my opinion on the matter. The short version of my argument would be “social games” but let’s expand a bit here.
By now I hope we [...]
I don’t like shrimps… and “social games”…
Oct 10th
I don’t like shrimps. I don’t hate them I just don’t like them. I don’t hate people who like shrimps I just don’t see what’s so nice about shrimps. I could probably eat shrimps if it was the only thing on the table but I don’t like shrimps.
I don’t like social games.
I don’t like “social [...]
The Interweb is not part of reality
Jul 9th
So yeah Blizzard have backed down. Ask me what I fear most. Almost total anonymity or having your name next to the things you are saying? Honestly I fear much more anonymity.
In the last few days we have seen a part of the web going crazy about a company announcing in advance how it plans [...]
So I guess that I’m rich now?
May 7th
You know there some stuff that turns my stomach in weird ways. One of them is when I read “Quit your day job and make Facebook games“.
Hmm … Guess who released a Facebook game recently …
By way of a second example, he showed stats for a game that launched only four days ago. By day [...]
