Thoughts on the game industry...
For those that haven't seen it yet, Katamari Damacy (from Namco) is a very interesting game to say the least. I'll admit that I'm not the biggest fan of it on all levels, but I do recognize that it breaks the mold a bit from the standard game genres being offered out there today. Well, apparently there's a sequel coming, called We Love Katamari, and the creator of the game, Keita Takahashi, discussed the original title, the sequel and the games industry in general at the recent Game Developer's Conference Europe (GDCE). He shared some interesting opinions on games and their development and I think this summary article and follow-up interview make for good reading if you're in the games development field using any tools, let alone Director or Flash. I hope folks out there find it as interesting as I did:
Focus On: Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi
Enjoy.
