APERTURE: Lab Ratt (A Portal Short Film)

7 Wonders of Crysis

Albert Hughes (director sin crédito de ese churro escrito por el ex-PC gamer Magazine Gary Whitta de "Book of Eli") se ha aliado con EA para hacer una serie de cortos promocionales para el próximo Crysis 3 que llevarán por título 7 Wonders of Crysis 

“When EA and Crytek approached me about being involved in creating ‘The 7 Wonders of Crysis 3’ video series, I liked the idea of creating emotional stories using only computer generated images,” stated Albert Hughes. “The challenge of producing something intensely human without ever seeing a human on screen was incredibly compelling, and the technology of the CryENGINE that Crytek developed enabled me to do that and venture into a completely unique medium of storytelling.”

“The goal with ‘The 7 Wonders of Crysis 3’ video series is to reveal the incredible world we have been building for Crysis 3 and to let CryENGINE take center stage to highlight the power of our state-of-the-art game engine,” said Cevat Yerli, Chief Executive Officer of Crytek. “We’ve worked closely with Albert on this project and think that the 7 Wonders series will show the leaps and bounds that Crysis 3 is making over its predecessors.”

Indie Game: The Movie.

Ahora no hablamos ni de un festival, ni de una obra con fecha de estreno, hablamos de un filme independiente sobre la creación de juegos indie.

Indie Game: The Movie.

Tan no es un producto terminado, que los creativos organizaron un Kickstarter campaign para juntar 35,000 USD para terminar la cinta, y de hecho los reunieron en las primeras 24 horas y si todavía quieres aparecer en los créditos y /o recibir copias de la cinta en DVD o descarga, pues todavía puedes participar.

Entrevista a gente detrás del infernalmente difícil Super Meat Boy y del llamativo pero no tan profundo en realidad Braid, así que probablemente haya cosas interesantes a futuro.

Una de las cosas que llegaron a cansarme del hype a "The Social Network" es que decían que hacía ver a gente programando como algo emocionante, yo creo que si te encanta no saber nada de nada se vale hacer esos comentarios, y aquí los puedes volver a aplicar, eso es una señal de que poner a idiotas que no distinguen el cine de las noticias o chismes sobre celebridades nos habla de lo mal que se entiende esta forma de expresión.

Hay un par de vídeos sobre el proceso de la cinta, que si esta cinta es acerca de la creación, bien valen la pena

Indie Game: The Movie is a feature documentary about video games, their creators and the craft. The film follows the dramatic journeys of indie game developers as they create their games, and as they release those works, and themselves, to the world.

Indie Game: The Movie is about making video games, but at its core, it’s about the creative process and exposing yourself through your work.

IGTM Does a Little Planning...

Yo si la quiero ver, aunque el salto de un dolar a 15 dolares en las donaciones tal vez me lo impida el día del lanzamiento.
The film tells the emotional story of a two-man team, Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes, as they craft and release their first major game for XBOX, "Super Meat Boy". It follows Phil Fish, the creator of the highly- anticipated game, "Fez", as he shows it for the first time in 4 years at the giant gaming expo, PAX EAST. And, the film tells behind-the-scenes story an independent designer, Jonathan Blow, who made one of highest-rated video games of all-time, "Braid".

Four developers, three games, and one ultimate goal - to express one’s self through a video game.
