1. Thirty Flights of Loving

Some time ago, I made a game called Gravity
Bone. Well, Gravity Bone now has a sequel:
Thirty Flights of Loving. Learn more here:

Here's the Thirty Flights of Loving teaser video:

To get early access to Thirty Flights of Loving,
support the Idle Thumbs Kickstarter campaign:

(their Kickstarter campaign ends less than 24 hours
from now, so check it out sooner than later!)

Idle Thumbs are about video games, gaming culture,
and all that entails. I'm a big fan of their work,
and I'm particularly fond of their gaming podcast.
Do give them a listen:

For those who have no idea what Gravity Bone is,
you can download and play it for free. Download here:

2. Game Developers Conference

Earlier this month, I went up to San Francisco
for the Game Developers Conference. While at GDC,
I gave a talk: "Nuke It From Orbit: The Making
of Atom Zombie Smasher".

As you can probably guess from the title, the talk
was about the development process of Atom Zombie
Smasher - how it started, what went right & wrong,
and some post-launch data.

During the talk, I showed some footage from early
prototypes of the game. I'll upload more later,
but for now, here's a video from the very first
version of Atom Zombie Smasher:

3. Independent Games Festival

I was also at the Game Developers Conference
for another reason: Atom Zombie Smasher received
an Excellence in Design nomination from the
Independent Games Festival!

All the nominees are listed here:

If you're interested in independent game
development, I highly recommend visiting GDC
and the IGF area at the expo floor. Play the
games, chat with the developers, and take a
peek into how the games work and how they're
made.
