Hello there, I don't know if anyone posted about it, but here I go :

(Sorry for my english Smiley )

IGN just started a new serie called "The Next Game Boss", in wich teams of indie dev compete against themselves with games. (It American Idol but with game developers)

here's the link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUijn7tGIUQ

What do you think of it ? I'm not sure that it's a truthful representation of Indie gaming  Undecided

Bean's strength is interesting narrative and evoking emotion. I've never been a big fan of the actual gameplay is his games, though. Although his current project BasketBelle looks to change that.

his game seemed the most interesting to me of the ones there, yeah. although he probably should have had a prototype up and not just some slides, particularly because they're voting people off every episode; were some slides all he could come up with in a week?

They only had like 2 hours to come up with the idea. The whole show took place over the course of a week.

I feel like the direction of this whole thing is "dumbed down" for the every-person. Gross.

I wanted something more classy/high-brow.

This reminds me of those game school commercials where one guy is like, "Hey, let's add more sound effects on level 3." Other bro-dude responds, "Like this one?" *Zwooop!* "Yeah!"  Facepalm

I feel like this doesn't represent how games are made by any normal person or company at all.
