I think a lot of the "tension" or whatever you wanna call it, stems from, similar to what Pondukian said, lots of people with fundamentally different views jammed into one community where they just kind of got to deal with each other, which ultimately has to lead to some stubborn run ins in the long run.

To be fair, you can't learn (or rather, you can learn but you won't really be learning anything you don't already know) from people that share your same view. If you all just sit around with the same design style and tell each other how cool things are, it's a circlejerk. Having radically conflicting ideologies leads to bleedover in design, which is a good thing.

It's akin to having a focus group test for your game. The designers will obviously like what they have done with their game, but the testers will come in and tear it to shreds if they think it sucks. Fresh perspectives leads to innovation.

Not that arguing every day or two about "art games" or some bullshit is productive or good. It's retarded. But the tension of developers with different ideas clashing leads to good things as they learn from and listen to each other.

assassin's creed 2 has ridiculously good animation.

Postponed until the 6th.

Expected good writing in an X-Men game is like expecting good writing in the X-Men comic. Ain't gonna happen.

Hard Time.

I have a 'hard time' believing that.

You dead.

You know what game has the best animation?

Hard Time.

I am considerably sick. We might have to postpone.

The reason why it didn't work was, with the exception of 4, the others you linked in PM were .com, not .co.uk. Was giving me a domain name host instead.

Music is in and file is in the first post. Everyone check it out!

HyperDuck, the links you provided in PM appear to be broken.

Is this going to be a one person podcast?!

idea: the tigsource community is quite tightly knit (relatively) but in business affairs i seems like the "cool" thing to do is for each person to cut their own path through by hatchet.

how about a website that would collect and manage sales of indie games like all the casual games people do? We could even have one of those fancy downloading apps.

Greenhouse?

Alec, how goes the episodes?

I've set up an XML feed for the episodes so we can submit the feed to iTunes. All I have to do is wait for my server to come back and we'll be ready to set up TIGcast on iTunes!

You have it now?

People also might not give money unless they have an incentive. Like getting a good game in return. It's sad that people need that sort of drive to donate rather than their own good will, but such is life. If PopCap can get those stingy fuckers to donate, then hooah to them.

Whups it looks like I saved it as draft instead of sent. Sending it off right now.

Quick question: Is this procedural? I didn't see if it was in previous pages.

Can't boot. Gives unexpected error on both builds.

I'm in, connection willing.
