ABOUT THIS VIDEO:

On Friday, March 4 2011, following the final day of the Game Developers Conference, the creators of the then soon-to-be-released iOS sensation Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP joined AREA 5, Atomix editors, and mutual friends in the middle of San Francisco's Golden Gate park for a conversation on a log. Cameras were on-hand, and the highlights of the encounter were documented in four video segments.

#SWORCERY 01: how it began

Superbrothers' founder Craig D. Adams joins Nathan Vella and Kris Piotrowski from Capy to discuss the origin of the Sword & Sworcery project. Who knew it began as a cover of an old Zynga game?

@OmnipotentO We started doing more contract work to help keep our business afloat. We helped Crytek with a series called C2TV, did a few videos for Hudson, a commercial for Super Meat Boy. This is our first trip back into videogame editorial since then. I hope you enjoy. And visit area5.tv to keep up with us.

eggnog4073 Perfect timing! I hope you enjoy the issue(s).

errolian I totally understand that and appreciate it. I miss making that show too... it was one of the best parts of my life.

...this is ryan by the way. Thanks again!

[area5media]

Impulse622 Thanks for your consistent support. We really appreciate it and we do it for fans like you.

pandaBear7109 Yup, we're still hangin' in there. Though, right now, it's easier to appreciate our work if you have an iPad. And, obviously, there are just a ton of people who don't. Oh well... we knew that going into this experiment.

Xmen1312: Good question. I don't have a real answer. We do want to get some of the CO-OP-style narratives into Atomix at some point. But, we'd love to do standalone CO-OPs as well. Who knows what the future will hold.

So, yeah, a sort of non-answer. Sorry!

[Soad4Life555]

I really miss you CO-OP guys :( I hope things work out :) Ive watched every episode of it and miss it a lot. I wish I had an ipad to subscribe to your magazine lol.

[biofellis]

People should pay to watch other parts of your infomercial... Really?

Looks good, but... too much to be interested in that I can learn about for free.

Good luck to you!

I found this trying to watch old episodes of CO-OP and this came out today which flipped me out even more because i am subscribed and didn't even see it in my feed. ANYWHO! Do you guys do CO-OP-like videos such as this one in the Atomix app? I don't have an iPad anymore so I'm out of the loop :(

[zmccune]

Great video. Sword & Sworcery has an abstract mysticism that powers play and I think you all did a great job re-creating that for the feeling of this interview.

Wish I could watch the other vids but alas, no iPad. 

[bamyo53]

I wish for CO-OP Back.. My life has felt empty ever since..

[tmacc]

cool

[GCFallen]

awesome your back

[calderon0311]

Is there anyway us Andriod users can support Atomix as well?

[superspecky4eyes]

The more I see of Atomix the more I wish I had an Ipad, or that there was an iPod version!

P.S Im glad you seem to have a new music bed for your videos, I was starting to get tired of your old CO-OP ones ;)

All the best!

Awesome interview. I would totally buy Atomix if it wasn't just on the iPad.
