Vimeowned

January 15th, 2009

We have been using Vimeo for a while to host David's design tours. Sadly, yesterday, Vimeo notified us that the design tours must be removed.

Conflicts of interest in the IGF

January 10th, 2009

Since we announced Overgrowth, we have been doing a number of small interviews with various sites. We will probably post a compilation at some point, but one inteview in particular really stands out: GameCyte's interview with David Rosen. I'd like to highlight this one, because it's really well put together, is an interview of our fearless leader ...

Top 10 Indie Video Games for the Holidays

December 19th, 2008

Here are some kick ass independent games to play while you are waiting in-between alphas of Overgrowth! Why should you check out indie games? I think Ron Carmel of 2D Boy says it best: "The video game medium has been in a bit of a rut for about a decade. Many truly great games have come out in the last ...
