Sony hires 13 PS2 game developers to increase sales in India
2008-04-28 00:06:00 To give some perspective on the relative age of Sony's second console, think about this: if the PlayStation 2 were a human being, it would be a third-grader right about now, and would probably know more about long division than we do.While most eight-year-old consoles generally go the way of the Jaguar, Sony seems dedicated to the continued growth of their popular (though fairly aged) home console -- for example, in an attempt to extend their already impressive multinational reach, Sony recently hired 13 Indian game developers to create domestically-themed games and improve sales in India and the Middle East.Though nearly 3.3 million Indians already own PS2s, Sony is confident that creating games based on "Bollywood, mythology and culture" and featuring motion-sensing gameplay using the fairly neglected Eye Toy peripheral will further increase their dominance in the Indian market.

Feature: Indies Take the Cake at Game Developers Conference - SendMeRSS
2008-02-20 02:49:00 Feature: Indies Take the Cake at Game Developers ConferenceAt this year's Game Developers Conference, indie game makers with small ideas are in big demand. Check out the front page of Wired.com today for my take on how Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are all using GDC 2008 to promote their casual game download services. Microsoft will definitely be talking about indie Xbox Live Arcade titles this week (and we'll likely have previews of some of them), Sony seems to be all about games like PixelJunk Monsters, and of course Nintendo will use GDC to blow the lid off WiiWare. If you're an indie game developer, the time is right for you to land a deal with a big publisher.

Independent Game Developers and the Linux OS
2006-12-01 18:00:00 Independent game developers are an unusual bunch. On the one hand, they lack the resources to produce games on the scale of big publishing houses. On the other hand, they have dreams of making their salary off products that will compete with these big name titles. Independent developers should offer more focus and contributions on the Linux gaming scene. While any development of Linux games is good, there is much more to the rabbit hole that I hope to illuminate. |
