Experimental Game Dev Podcast Show

Will the next generation of experimental games be hardware-based?

Is hardware making a comeback? As computing gets cheaper, KickStarter keeps funding new hardware projects, and Moore’s law impacts the price of hardware, there is now this new opportunity for hardware-based games.

Do you think the upcoming Independent Game Festivals will have more hardware-based games? I’m not even talking about custom android console devices. I’m talking about sensor systems that tie into games.

What types of hardware-based games can you see happening?

Poll: Should I Post Experimental Projects Here…

Hey folks,

I’ve been working on some experimental games…I wanted to know if you think it’s worth posting them here. The main goal would be to get feedback and opinions and insights to make things work.

My question is…are there enough people interested to make this worthwhile for everyone involved? Most of the experimental games I’m working on are mobile…so you’d need an Android device to test them out.

Let me know what you think. Thanks 🙂
