Yeah it’s late. A few moments ago I got back from the Argentinian Videogames Expo. As many other things here in Argentina, the event was made true thanks to the huge effort of the guys from ADVA, the Argentinian Game Developers Asociation. You guys fucking rock. This is pretty much all I wanted to say. [...]
Yes, it’s been pretty quiet around here lately. I’ve been talking with my non-rounded mollusk friend about a possibly blog merger, so we can both abandon a single blog (a rather pragmatic approach, indeed). There, that’s today’s excuse. Also, Disgaea DS (I find the lack of japanese voice track mildly dissapointing, though). Oh, and my [...]
9/9/99 was a special day for any western Sega fan: The Dreamcast was launched in the states. After four years of development and many obstacles left behind Sega was starting its comeback, putting their hopes on a new console and, while at it, starting the 128 bits era. As probably most of you already know, [...]
I recently found this post at Kotaku, with an interview with Ryan Payton of Metal Gear Solid 4 fame. I’ve been reading about this guy for the last few months, mostly because of the MGS hype, I he seems to be quite cool and honest. I hope him the best with his new life, by [...]
<offtopic> Sorry about the lack of updates to this thing. Blame it on work, university or whatever, it doesn’t really matter. Even though I’ll be pretty busy in the following weeks, I’ll try to keep this thing a little more active in the future. By the way, I was going to write a lengthy post [...]
While surfing the intertubes, I stumbled upon this fine post at Destructoid where Square’s main honcho, Yoichi Wada, stated that the company will, from now on, focus its efforts in main-stream games only. This decision isn’t really surprising, 2007 wasn’t a good year for Square on the finances front. Let’s be honest here: Square is [...]
Look, I like cars. No kidding, I really do. My first contact with the genre was Need for Speed II SE, a really old game for PC for those too young to remember. And I never really liked any other NFS game after the third one, which featured an amazing chase mode (being the PC [...]
Ok, here’s a short one: A friend of mine pointed me to this really interesting homebrew DS game/app simply called Colors! Simply put, is a tiny but rather impressive painting app for the DS. It makes full use of the little console’s pressure sensing technology for some awesome results. Here are some work made with [...]
The english version of the compo site is now publicly available. For those who don’t know (probably the vast majority, heh), this competition (organized by the Argentinian Game Development Association) was about making little games which couldn’t surpass the 600×90 pixels display size. I entered the competition with a simple arcade game called Zoomer. There’s [...]
