I just want a release date on blueberry garden, although I now realize I should just forget it, I have a feeling it won’t be for a while. Also, I wish dyson would have won, but oh well.

I think Between was the wrong choice. But Blueberry Garden - absolutely. We had a peek at the IGF release for issue two of Another Castle and I was really thrilled with it. Really captivating.

@Wedge: I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who gets annoyed at all these indie games winning awards when they haven’t even been released yet. STOP GETTING PRIZES IF I CAN’T PLAY YOU YET, DAMMIT!

Dan Tabar interfaces with his computer by way of a Bowflex.

Dyson: http://www.dyson-game.com/

Amazing game that grew out of the TIG Source “Procedural” competition IIRC. I always thought the game deserved more attention and surprisingly, said attention now arrived with a long delay.

dyson is single player real-time risk, where you can sacrifice troops to gain additional production capacity, and troops built from different asteroids feature different characteristics.

unless they’ve made a colossal number of improvements since the last time i had a play, i don’t quite see how there’s enough there to make it worth buying. although the music is lovely.

I really hate when someone enters a game into this that they’ve never released any real information about, much less anything we can play. And then it wins and it feels like they’re hiding some secret special thing all to themselves.

Then some forever time later it actually comes out and you’re like “oh, is that all?”. At least that’s how I felt about CPD doing the same thing last year (though at least that had something of a tech demo around).

Feel really proud to have Svedäng as a game-design teacher at times like these. *proud/brag*

Blueberry Garden looks gorgeous, but I still have no idea what the game is actually about.
