BestGameEver Creator Talks Weekly Gaming

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday April 27, 2004 @07:30AM from the swift-development-cycle dept.

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.

Free Parking 2 is good by magic · 2004-04-27 08:15 · Score: 2, Insightful

I'm a believer: the gameplay in Free Parking 2 is pretty good for a 1 week game. I hope he keeps extending it.

I sure wish I had time to hack out a game a week. This project sounds like a blast to work on.
