I stumbled onto a blog by Marc-André at http://exludis.tumblr.com/

He had some great media and thoughts and ideas I believe are worth spreading:

 

His post on obsession and passion (the original item that drew me to his blog in the first place) was thought provoking: http://exludis.tumblr.com/post/23227103235/from-passion-to-obsession

and the two games he found inspiring I found intriging as well: http://exludis.tumblr.com/post/22778740998/two-inspirations

Ira Glass on Storytelling [but this applies to any creative venture]: http://vimeo.com/24715531

 

Jesse Shell on information flow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y92-vkyHKbY

 

That leaves very little else not linked that he has shared on game development... Just go check em out and form your own opinion... 

I post in the spirit of sharing something I found interesting, but I really don't think I am will add anything to the overall discussion... at this point in time...


Game Engines...

Published 4/6/2012 by Hunter

I always like to see what  engines are out there. I wrote one once, it was a great exercise in my inability at the time. It will never see the light of day in any way, it was at a time I thought I could do better. I got to choke down some humble pie after a few weeks of effort. It ended up being a kludge of low level wrappers I used in other projects...

 

So anyone looking to find a list a game engine to make your next game with... This is a pretty good list!

But if you are looking for an engine that requires little knowledge of coding look at Construct 2... This looks interesting enough for me to consider it for whipping up a prototype in a few minutes to try out a game feature idea... I'll let you know how that turns out...
