I had an absolutely great Develop this year – ignoring getting the worst chips ever in the chip shop next door to the Hilton Brighton Metropole. As well as my coverage for Gamasutra I moderated a session in the first day’s “Evolve” track, After the iPhone Honeymoon:Where Next for Apple’s Mobile? (which went rather well, [...]

The unveiling of the “full development studio” in Toronto, Ontario marks the company’s first development presence in the province, and is intended to create 800 new jobs in the next decade.

“Keita Takahashi, creator of Katamari Damacy and Noby Noby Boy, is more interested in art, life, and his dog, than the work of his creative peers. He’s more interested in going to the museum than going to the Game Developers Conference.
And he’s not usually that interested in doing interviews — in fact, Gamasutra never ended [...]

The Montreal International Game Summit has been and gone for another year, and my session coverage has all been published on Gamasutra (though as usual, any interviews or other coverage that I’ve done will take longer to arrive.)

The Ontario Game Summit and Game On: Finance were a pair of interconnected conferences just held here in Toronto, both of which were largely interested in how to draw more game development to this fair province.

The Edinburgh Interactive Festival actually only ran from the 10th to the 12th of August, but with the 10th being a Sunday and Gamasutra’s tendency to stretch show coverage out across weeks, I thought I’d wait until now until I posted my coverage.

To investigate this growing industry, Gamasutra talks to some of its leading lights: John Welch, CEO of PlayFirst (Diner Dash); Jason Kapalka, CCO of PopCap (Peggle, Bejeweled) and Russell Carroll, director of marketing at developer and [...]
