My personal favourite: Double Life - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Bqq38WZctA Nothing explains better the potential of videogames. EDIT: I have to add this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22HXIMASkZo

The theme is only revealed at the start of the competition. The theme is revealed and BAM! 48 hours to make a game. The theme reveal is when the clock starts ticking.

I find the theme the best part. What I really enjoy in LD's is the first 3/4 hours where the theme discusses the theme and the games gradually emerges. I can make any game I what anytime, but the theme give you focus and forces yo

Did you finish it? I think we have a great ending, but the game ended up too difficult. If you're having trouble just press 'left' during the whole game for an unintended cheat/bug.

Well, there are three LD's in the year. one in April, one in August and one in December. They also have miniLD's monthly.

I'm going to participate in it. It's gonna be my 4th time. I participated in the jam twice and the compo once (didn't work that well). If you want to try the games, here they are: Theme - Tiny World: http://www.lud

Highly recommended! Fallout 2 made me "jump" from JRPGs to WRPGs. Too bad I already have the games... twice.

Concerning videogame music being crap: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_Law > ninety percent of everything is crap. Ninety percent of all music is crap. In that good 10 percent there is some videogame music

Yeah, me too. Everyone's asleep, everything is quiet, I feel a little drowsy. It's really easy to get 'in the zone' Read this: http://swizec.com/blog/why-programmers-work-at-night/swizec/..

One of the most important things I learned in college was to say "I don't know". Many students (even college students), will dance around a question trying to get a hint of the answer. I have no problems saying that I don&#x2

1 - Maybe 2 - Not really. Consoles' lifetime is getting bigger. But five years from now you'll get the first games in second-hand or at a discount. 3 - If your friends think like you, they won't. 4 - Yeah but... piracy is wro

The author isn't the point. Maybe he thought more about the game than he put in the story. Maybe not. But in the universe of that story, the game existed! And that's what matters. In fiction, especially fantasy and science fiction

Well, people love what they love. And love thinking, talking and discussing what they love. Is this any different from the sports fan who talk about old team lineups, why such and such tactic was wrong in a game, why they lost a game becaus

The problem is not that there is a hardcoded limit. Python just isn't suited for heavy recursion. As for tail-call optimization, here's Guido's opinion (which I agree): http://neopythonic.blogspot.pt/2009&#x2F

I agree with the python one. Some more things I find annoying in Python: - Hardcoded recursion limit + no tail call optimization. I understand Guido's reasons for this but I find myself writing ugly code instead of beatiful code. (But

I actually played Love Plus (there's a unofficial translation) for curiosity. I'd just read the article of the guy that married one of the game's girls and was wondering what made this game so popular. I had played some other

To this whole discussion of "Is programming terrible or not?" I have to quote Sturgeon's Law: "Ninety percent of everything is crap." I'm just a newbie (started my programming job 9 months ago) but most of the

If it were me doing it, I would use the trackpad and the trackpad buttons. (I'm not sure, but I believe each trackpad is "pressable" and has multiple buttons, replicating a d-pad) I would tap and drag for little and precise m

Saying Dark Souls is "hardcore" is an euphemism :) While quite a different experience, Dark Souls is the "gamiest" game I've played in a long time. While environmentally immersive, the game forces you to remember it

Try the "spiritual sequel" Hotel Dusk. The pen and chalk dusk puzzle made me want to throw the DS to the wall when I figured it out. It uses the DS's physicality and it's minor features. They not only implemented the rea

What I forsee is some developers wanting to ignore the 3D capabilities. "I have two sets of consoles, one with 3D and the other without. Ditch the 3D!" I probably won't happen because Nintendo is known to force the developers

Thats not enough. I remember a DS game (trace memory, if I recall correctly) where you had to almost close the lid, so that you would see a reflection of one screen in the other, merging the images. And figuring out you had to do that was j

As kayoone already said, people usually play games for fun. Knowing or realizing games have some benefit is a bonus. As the effort/exaustion part, people actually like that. In fact, the tiredness is mainly something people tolerate as
