I’m coming up for air after an eventful GDC week. Did I mention: Lightning Prototypes, a group of crazy-talented folks, is now open for business?
We’re only a few days old, so there’s not much to tell you, but be assured, exciting things are in motion!
Once again, I am humbled to be working in the company of a truly outstanding group of visionaries, dreamers and doers.
This last Tuesday, the EA axe swung again, lopping off the Boom Blox team.
This is an amazing team, full of passionate dreamers and doers, who can take on a new platforms like no others I’ve seen. It has been my great pleasure to work with them, and I sincerely hope we will work together again soon.
All our good thoughts are with those who remain behind at EA. Good luck to you and your projects, friends!
And now…let’s see what’s next!
Very cool. Boom Blox Bash Party, which I finished up work on several months ago, has made the LA Times Top Ten Video Games of 2009. If you haven’t played it, go out and find a copy. Here’s a hint:
It’s good darn fun!
But hey, you’re busy, and who has time to click on an external link these days, so without further delay:
- No. 10: Assassin’s Creed II
- No. 9: Fight Night Round 4
- No. 8: Wolfenstein
- No. 7: Wii Sports Resort
- No. 6: Batman: Arkham Asylum
- No. 5: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
- No. 4: Boom Blox Bash Party
- No. 3: Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
- No. 2: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
- No. 1: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Well done team!
Now, y’all go read the article, they say such nice things!
Now it can be told. The game I’ve been working on announced today. Here’s the skinny:
EA Will Ask Steven Spielberg To Make A ‘Boom Blox’ Level
Boom Blox Bash Party in Pictures
Spielberg’s Boom Blox Bash Party Rocks Wii This Spring
I wish all games could be this much fun to work on, and the team is the best I’ve ever worked with.
So, first…buy this game when it comes out. It really is, no kidding, fun for the whole family.
Second…make sure to try your hand at building your own levels. It has one of the easiest to use editors out there.
And lastly, an oldie but a goodie:
I’ll post a picture once I’m sure the traffic-storm that was Democracy Day Patch has subsided.
The Game Design section was starting to look a little overrun by Flash and ActionScript tutorials, so I’ve added a whole new page for Flash and ActionScript. Check there for the latest experiments.
Speaking of which: Drawing Regular nGons in Flash.
That’s right. NGons, baby! Try to curb your enthusiasm.
I’m working on a project that requires the drawing (or at least calculating) of regular nGons (pentagons, hexagons, octagons, etc.), so I threw together a demo movie. As usual, source code is included.
