BestGameEver Creator Talks Weekly Gaming

Thanks to GamersWithJobs for its interview with Dylan Fitterer of BestGameEver.com, a site which offers a new 3D-engine, freely downloadable Windows PC game every week, one which "either incorporates a new idea or is a refinement of a previous release based on feedback by the players." The FAQ on the official site explains: "The first mission of this site is to prototype all kinds of different games as quickly as possible. So - there will be a new game prototype up for you to try, love, hate, whatever - each Friday", and Dylan says of this: "The constant pressure keeps my productivity up and the regular releases keep me... releasing" - highlights of the many downloadable titles include Riders On The Board, a hoverboard game where the player "flies around the terrain by firing your harpoon into hillsides and giant lava lamps", as well as parking-attendant related "RTS hybrid" Free Parking.

This is the equivalent of making a site called "best movie ever" and then making a movie each week. No matter how original it may seem, you simply have no time to create something above average, what you get a long string of "could be better" to "lame" products, besides lets just face it, with the aid of modern tools (like flash and gamemaker) anyone with average (to no) coding skills can create a micro game in a week. (just like anyone with a handcam can create a movie in a week) I usually encourage indie game developers but Definetily I dont think this is a good idea.
