Indie Game Jam 2004 Recounted

Posted by michael on from the flaming-hamsters dept.

scishop writes "While most of the gaming world has been focused on the dazzling smoke and mirrors special effects of E3, Gamasutra has published an interesting article on a different game convention: Indie Game Jam '04 where two dozen game developers spent four days creating a variety of games built around the same engine in an effort to encourage innovation. The results included apps centered around boxing, yoga and flaming hamsters." Our earlier story over at Slashdot Games has more links and information.

      That's what happens when you rely on Java. Segfaults, backdoors, and slowness are what to expect. If only goatse.cx had relied on proven, robust ASP.net. *sigh*

      It was a little of both. Netcraft used to report the site as running Microsoft IIS on Linux.
