Frogshark Podcast #07

After the New Zealand Game developers conference, where the winners were announced for Kiwigamestarter, I got together with Frogshark whom also placed in the competition, Chris McFarland of Tallowmere, and Allan Xia of Chromacon to have a good chat about the conference, the competition, our games, and the game dev industry in general.

In this episode we reflect on NZGDC, KiwiGameStarter, Chris and Rox talk about their games and how they work.

Xequals director wins video game startup

Yay Dynacorp is in the news!
Lot's in here also about my separate venture Xequals which I run with Alex Matthews, a company which we've been running for 6 years and has taught me a lot of useful project management skills which I now apply to the Dynacorp production process!

With the project management experience I was able to pick the game back up with my head more screwed on.

After lots of hard work getting prepared in the lead up to the KiwiGameStarter award, I managed to make it through to first place! Many thanks to New Zealand Game Developers Association for running the award and Callaghan Innovation for their part in sponsoring the award!

Dynacorp edged out the other three finalists due to innovative “morally reactive gameplay” in which the actions of a player can positively or negatively influence the game environment.
