Recore demo just went up at the MS store. And it's perty humongous fer 30 minutes of playtime! ( Although that 30 minutes represents a game that is saved for continuation if/when u buy the game ) I have been looking forward to the release and have my fingers crossed that the 30 minutes also represents plenty of environment…
Subscriptions come with a set number of points each month used to download content. Points get refilled every month and all unused points stay in your wallet forever.

I don't like to spend more than £30 on a game, really. £25 for most of them seems fair. I think I can safely say that there is no game on the market that I'd consider being worth more than £35, tops. With 90% of them not worth a penny over £30. It's why I wait for the PC versions of games most of the time, as they're…

With "straightening" I mean something irregular and slightly deformed to become something having equal intervals and X/Y alignment typical for a texture.

I'm not necessarily aiming for smaller studios; I'm aiming for wherever the competition and skill requirements are the least intense, LOL. I just want a job. I can create 30-hour pieces if that's what it takes; I just want to use that time as effectively as I possibly can - I don't want to spend 30 hours on something that…

This guy is advocating that indies should clone games in order to be successful and grow. It doesn't really matter if he's a small business (if you consider 30 people small, http://eastsidegamestudio.com) or Zynga, that attitude certainly isn't helping the industry innovate and grow.
