Dev.Mag rAge issue!
Monday, October 6th, 2008Game.Dev was at rAge (really Awesome gaming expo) this year. I’ve seen awesome pics of what went down there. It sucks that I am stuck far away from Johannesburg. I’ve mightily neglected my game devving duties and I really want to get back at it again some time soon!
At rAge they released the new Dev.Mag up for grabs at its usual spot. This issue is filled with awesome, from an interview with Introversion, level design article, working with audacity and my favourtite, a retrospective article on the Game.Dev comps. It starts with the first 10 comps.
It makes me want to get back into the swing of things again!
I quote:
“This particular competition produced one of the finest games of Game.Dev’s early era – an offering titled Roach Toaster which stood head and shoulders above the rest of the entries up until that point and raised the bar for all competitions that followed. It didn’t have mind-blowing graphics. It didn’t have a load of flashy scripted events. It didn’teven have sound effects. It just had a basic roach generation algorithm and a few well-balanced roachbusting tools that were meticulously considered; providing a player with a simple experience that felt like an epic.”
It makes me brim with joy. 
Get the Dev.Mag now! Its awesome!
