@GamerSince85 Thanks for reviewing my games! Email me at alexvostrov@rocketbeargames.com and I'll send you a copy of Infested Planet. 12:17 PM May 22nd via TweetDeck in reply to GamerSince85
@GreyAlien I was actually wondering if you are a rugby fan at that moment. 8:35 PM Apr 5th via TweetDeck in reply to GreyAlien
@GreyAlien I'd be totally up for it, but didn't we already do that once? 7:42 AM Mar 26th via TweetDeck in reply to GreyAlien
@MrKaphonaits It's all OpenGL. It's funny, but the game actually uses quite a bit of 3D horsepower. =) 4:59 PM Mar 18th via TweetDeck in reply to MrKaphonaits
@meanJim Thanks! It was all coded in C++ 7:32 AM Mar 16th via TweetDeck in reply to meanJim
@GreyAlien Also on that USB key are secret launch codes to Canadian nuclear silos. =P 7:17 PM Mar 13th via TweetDeck in reply to GreyAlien
@GreyAlien Why am I thinking about Kung-Fu movies now? 7:16 PM Mar 13th via TweetDeck in reply to GreyAlien
@DarkAcreJack @aeiowu @fucrate @weasello Yeah, it's risky. I'd love to hear other indies' ideas on this though. Maybe there are better ways. 8:50 PM Feb 3rd via TweetDeck in reply to DarkAcreJack
@DarkAcreJack @aeiowu @fucrate @weasello Or consider Aquaria or Another World - I loved the setting and it wasn't exactly an adventure game. 8:46 PM Feb 3rd via TweetDeck in reply to DarkAcreJack
@DarkAcreJack @aeiowu @fucrate @weasello No, adventure games are a narrow slice; RPGs of all stripes fit here too. 8:44 PM Feb 3rd via TweetDeck in reply to DarkAcreJack
@DarkAcreJack @aeiowu @fucrate @weasello Yes, the idea of "game as commodity" is very damaging. Can't be very creative with dog food. 8:43 PM Feb 3rd via TweetDeck in reply to DarkAcreJack
@DarkAcreJack @aeiowu @fucrate @weasello You can still get paid - look at the number of fans that Wheel of Time or Song of Ice and Fire have 8:42 PM Feb 3rd via TweetDeck in reply to DarkAcreJack
@DarkAcreJack @aeiowu @fucrate @weasello One idea that might work - make games about interesting characters, worlds or moods, not mechanics. 8:38 PM Feb 3rd via TweetDeck in reply to DarkAcreJack
@weasello @aeiowu @fucrate What's sad is that we had 2 other speakers that night, who are totally indie and nobody cares about their talks. 8:20 PM Feb 3rd via TweetDeck in reply to weasello
@ChevyRay @weasello Yes, you really should come to Vancouver sometime soon. We have plenty more opinionated, inflammatory people here. =) 8:18 PM Feb 3rd via TweetDeck in reply to ChevyRay
@aeiowu @fucrate @weasello If Jason's talk made some indies think hard about how they can make clone-resistant games, I'm cool with that. 8:10 PM Feb 3rd via TweetDeck
@aeiowu @fucrate @weasello I don't agree with the speech myself, but complaining or ignoring about cloning won't actually help anyone. 8:09 PM Feb 3rd via TweetDeck in reply to aeiowu
@aeiowu @fucrate @weasello I think that people took it well. Didn't see anyone going for the tar and the pitchforks. 7:56 PM Feb 3rd via TweetDeck in reply to aeiowu
@aeiowu Think of it as tossing a cat into a room full of dogs. =) 7:47 PM Feb 3rd via TweetDeck in reply to aeiowu
@OderWat Thank you! 7:28 PM Jan 20th via TweetDeck in reply to OderWat
