Polygons #10 Report

 

There are still changes coming for Polygons, but #10 felt very much like it was in the right venue.

Our panel on the night was Dan Marchant with George Bray from Mumbojumbo, and Nick Burton with Craig Albeck from Game Republic. There was some friendly rivalry between Dan and Craig, with each respectively represnting a different region of the UK.

The discussion included casual games, indie games, violence and the latest appointments at Atari: we found this quote from a few days before Phil Harrison left Sony:

Harrison: "It will be characterized by servers, communities, user created content, and all the things that the game developer doesn’t do. So that’s quite an interesting thing for our industry that all of the things that are going to be cool about our future products are stuff that we won’t actually be making. It will be the space between that will actually create the value and the emergent things that will happen are unplanned".

Raph Koster: "I’d still be at Sony if people there were talking that way".

We also screened videos of indie games we thought were interesting. For those who want to know what they were, here are youtube links to all of them:

Fez
Clean Asia
Cursor*10
Crayon Physics Deluxe
Gesundheit
Fret Nice
Gumboy Tournament
Cinnamon Beats
World of Goo
Galaxy Scraper
