Racing Pitch is an IGF finalist

Racing Pitch is a finalist in the 9th annual Independent Games Festival (2007). It takes part in the main competition, and is one of the finalists in the Excellence In Audio category – even though most of the audio is presented by player itself. Maybe there was jury members who have a voice which is pleasing to listen to? ;-)

Assembly’06 – Racing Pitch, Andromedary and seminar slides

Assembly’06 ended yesterday. I created a game called Racing Pitch (Windows) for the game development competition and finished at the second place. You need a microphone to play the game, as you must mimic engine sounds to drive a racing car! Check out the video about the game presented at the event.

With Xmunkki I also created Andromedary, a 4 KB intro which ended at second place as well.

Among taking part in the competitions, I also gave a seminar speech about The Neglected Art of Fixed Point Arithmetic. As I promised, you can now get the slides for the presentation. Update: The page has a revised version and comments.

Skinflake launched – Indie Superstar mentions Stair Dismount

Skinflake.com has finally been launched. It’s the official indie developer brand for most of my games, now having a proper site as well!

Update: I noticed that the Episode 2 of Indie Superstar mentions Stair Dismount as an innovative example of indie games. Indie Superstar is a web-based videocast about independent video games.

Update 2019-08:
The above mentioned website is nowadays owned by someone else for a different purpose. I ceased using “Skinflake” as a label for some of my games after its website was merged as part of Secret Exit Ltd (which apparently let the domain expire at some point).
