Little did he know that their game would get them a job working on Portal 2

I see it caught Warren Spector's interest at the end of the video haha. Awesome game

excellent interview ;)

... despite the crowd, the "affordable" camera mic and stuff, it was really interesting, thanks a lot.

Also, it shows us again that all good game devs have something in common : playtesting ! :D

I liked the part when he told game dev students to take out something that is just "good". If you cant make an idea into something really fun and great, dont throw it to your players : I stopped counting the boring secondary objectives/features in modern games, say no to this !

[TubeofDestiny]

haha the "Indie" guy is awesome :D

Played Tag just when they won that GDF, cant wait to see their work on Portal 2 ;)

[hamsteralliance]

Valve Software just hired these guys for work on Portal 2.

This is foolish bullshit I tell you!!!

[Agaetis181]

my god, I don't want to watch some terrorist talking about his game that lets people put jihads on americans. i thought this was about ALL the show winners, wtf.

[Z3r0XoL]

@Agaetis181 it didnt even have weapons in it, other than red paint if that was offensive to you ;P

[IcyBlue487]

Very good advice.

[evilhomer111]

its called an accent, learn to listen...

[HerrBismarck]

wow, that's not racist at all.

[donovan3955]

i like how i am the only person who notices that alndis is recognizing the poor word choice, redundancy, his rushing of getting into a sentence with stuttering, talking with gum in his mouth. notice how alndis said "talking" not "speaking". you guys qho notice his accent above all else as the reason are hypocritical ignets

[alndis]

What the hell are you talking about???

[BradfordRants]

What school did you guys go to?

[bsol07]

they go to DigiPen Institute Of Technology in Redmond, Washington

[SammyBoyEEE]

Nice interview and good advice. I wonder where he was going to school at.

[eternalsyndrome]

Great to see some of the cool stuff students come up with! Their experience with engine dev and game dev is invaluable and I wish them good success in present and future endeavours!

Thanks chromacoders for the upload!
