It all started at the Game Developer’s Conference in 2011, when game designers Colleen Macklin, John Sharp, and Eric Zimmerman simply started handing out stacks of cards to people. “People at GDC already spend a lot of time debating and talking about games,” says Macklin.

It was so successful the Brooklyn-based trio decided to incorporate under the moniker Local No. 12 and launch a Kickstarter for the game in the midst of the conference. “And they’ve inspired us too,” adds Macklin. But there are key differences between the games, too. Primeiro DLC de This War of Mine doará todo dinheiro para crianças afetadas pela guerra.

SimCity That I Used to Know — re:form

Well, actually that’s a common misconception — the IBM version of SimCity was released in October of ‘89, but the original (for Mac and Amiga), came out in February. I found this out from Will Wright, the game design guru behind SimCity and the genre of games it spawned, whose mental history of the legendary game is far more accurate than the Internet’s. “I think everybody just puts too much trust in Wikipedia,” he said.

Um garoto que sai em uma jornada para descobrir o que (ou quem) estava provocando uma incessante nevasca. Essa foi a base para a criação de Never Alone, um game que, como já falamos por aqui, foi feito com uma ajuda da comunidade nativa do isolado Estado americano e que tem como objetivo principal espalhar o folclore do povo Iñupiaq.
