Gamecity Nottingham

Ibb and obb were at GameCity in Nottingham. IndieCade showcased 12 European independent game developers. It was a lot of fun to meet some of the other developers and play a round of dark room sex game. Ah yes and of course then the zombies showed up…

1UP Specials: E3 2008 Indie Games Coverage

The video starts with an interview with Matt Korba from the Odd Gentleman about their game “The misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom”. A really nice game about eating pie and messing with the space-time continuum. Sounds good right?

E3 2008

The E3 convention used to be a very crowded and loud event. Nowadays it’s invitation-only, meaning the people there are either press or working in the industry. Sound-levels are down to normal and boothbabes are not allowed. So I actually had a change to talk to lots of interesting people. From day one ibb and obb got very positive responses and several publishers showed serious interest. The next few weeks will be really interesting. Will ibb and obb really make it to a console near you? I’ll keep you posted.
