Animator vs. Animations

Posted: June 15th, 2006 | Author: | Filed under: Clippings | Comments Off

Animator vs. Animations is made by 17-year-old Alan Becker and draws a scene in the epic wars waged between the drawing and the drawn. Tensions draw high as the action starts simple and accelerates both in quantity and quality through the work, and the clever manipulation of screenshots will likely draw the appreciative attention of anyone who’s ever worked in Flash.

Interviewed for TeknologiDebat

Posted: June 10th, 2006 | Author: | Filed under: Noteworthy | Comments Off

My former workplace The Danish Board of Technology has just posted a interview they did with me about my views on the current state of game development in Denmark.

Der er økonomi og arbejdspladser i oplevelsesindustrien, men det varer nok noget, før resultaterne står mål med indsatsen i udviklingen af computerspil i Danmark. Teknologidebat har spurgt studerende ved It-Universitetet og spiludvikler Simon Larsen om forventningerne til det lukrative internationale marked holder stik.

It’s in Danish only, but if you can understand that, then head over to the entire interview.

Some weeks before E3 really took off I tried to do some predictions of what we might see at the expo. So let’s see how many of my 16 predictions I got right.

1) … at least 5 AAA games with the name “Black” in it will be announced.
Hmm… seems that I missed that one completely. So what is the new Black then?

2) … David Jaffe will announce what his secret PSP project is all about.
No… no word. He was only there to talk about God of War 2, and why he’s no so much involved in the day-to-day production of it.

3) … Blizzard will announce the new Alliance race.
Sure did, but that one was easy.

4) … Nintendo will reveal the titles of the 20 game that will the ready for the Revolution launch.
Ohh yes… and then some.
