The Belly of the Whale: Living a Creative Life in the Games Industry

Here is a great article by Bob Bates about working in the games industry.  I felt it had a lot of good insights into the psychology of game developers.  It was also interesting to hear how things are "on the inside" since I have never worked for a game company.

Game Prototype Coming Soon!

I came up with a wild idea, I am going to put the prototype for the game online and use your feedback to make improvements as I work through the iterations.  Many of the interviews I have been listening to at the Experimental Game Dev Podcast Show have talked about how useful it is to do testing and iterative development.  I am not sure how it will work out having it online like this, but we will see.  In order to support the conversations around testing, I created a forum at http://indiegamesdev.lefora.com and also put a link in the menu bar at the top of the page.  Be the first one to drop in and say hi!
