I found it to be rather interesting, maybe someone else here will. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH9VCN6UkyQ&list=WL&index=5 Jonathan Blow is the creator of Braid and currently working on The Witness, and somewhat infamous for his opinions afaik.

He actually seems like a pretty reasonable and measured guy. This is a little old, but this is another video interview of Blow that I found pretty interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1Fg76c4Zfg Eats commas for breakfast. Play Barony: Cursed Edition!

What i would like to see is some kind of parallel programming for games like gamestudio has. Maybe even more "complex" to build flowgraphs with shared code, synchronization points and so on... This would be awesome for the creation complex time-consuming actions like cut scenes or NPC actions Visit my site: www.masterq32.de

Separated architectures are so yesterday, it's like the days when the FPU was still a separate component from the main CPU. Eats commas for breakfast. Play Barony: Cursed Edition!
