Talking about Prom Week and social dynamics
At E3 2012, the section of the show dubbed "Indie Cade" became my home for the week. It was here that I met up with Ben Samuels, one of the designers on Prom Week, which is purported to have the most complex social structure of any game ever. In order to complete this gargantuan undertaking, Ben and his team developed an engine to monitor the "physics of relationships." This is the interview that Ben and I shared about this unique game. Enjoy. Afterwards, you can play the game here. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Looks interesting, but I have to be honest, when I saw the title on Twitter I thought that Dtoid had hired a Kotaku writer. Are there any characters whose goals are to stay home alone and contemplate suicide instead of going to prom? @MRR What about a character who's at home playing video games and gets a Tweet from a friend and goes "Oh shit! Was that TODAY?!? ... meh" and just goes back to playing TF2? I'd be that guy! If I remember correctly, there actually is a character that needs to be convinced to go to prom. The game is definitely worth checking out. 4:30 PM on 05.20.2013 Should publishers try to profit from user-created videos?Last week, it came to light that Nintendo has started making content claims for popular videos on YouTube which feature their products, including "Let's Play" and other forms of walkthrough content, taking the ad revenue whi...

3:30 PM on 05.16.2013 Watch the worst Fallout game ever madeJordan and I have started a new game in our Couch Campaign, and it's one that I have been excited to play since we first began talking about the project. As a huge fan of the Fallout franchise and a lover of top-down, exploration shoot-em-up games, the pairing of the two could have been glorious. And Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is, provided you think train wrecks can be glorious.
