YOU LIARHeeeey everybody!
So at work we do a thing each week for the game designers to get together and try to grow and become better at our job. Our thing this week is to make a super simple game in Flash and look at some stuff behind the scenes.
Another designer and I made this super quick game called Don't Touch The Level. It's short and rather challenging, and if you have time today I'd love for you guys to just quickly play through it. It's got zero art, it's a complete knockoff of another game and is super crap so whatever!
It's available here:

Please let me know if you finish it. We need to get 20 people to play it and you guys are probably the best to use as guinea pigs! Don't take this game as how awesome a designer I can be please
Level 5 isn't any easier D:
Level 6 :c

This. It's kinda making me a little dizzy.Azure Dream said:
The intent is to see how you play and then reflect on it in our weekly designer meetup. particularly on difficulty. Turns out this might have been an outlet for the other designers as well as me to make something bullshit hard.
Also I made all the levels today and quickly, if we could do this better it'd be way more like Kuru. Only goal was to make a puzzle game with 7 levels and ramping difficulty -- I seem to have ramped it up too fast

I think I'll take a look in to it sometime later this fall...what interests me in the Japanese version at least is the voice actor for Naja (mainly because it's Hiro Mizushima from Kamen Rider Kabuto) though for they swapped actors for the anime.

I actually found Stage 6 fun! Stage 7, though... D:

No problems up until Level Just remembered Level 3, but that was my own haste creating most of the problem there. Got through it second try this time.

Sonic's non-PSA cameo is discussed by one of Wreck-it-Ralph's producers:
http://www.totalfilm.com/news/wreck-it-ralph-s-skrillex-cameo-revealed
They also mention they couldn't find a proper scene for Mario...which is odd considering that the director (Rich Moore) had already stated that Mario couldn't be used because of licensing fees.

I'd hope that any XBLA port of Sonic 3D Blast would be of the Saturn version.

I got up to level 7 and gave up. The curves are okay for getting through, but trying to squeeze through that gap, while possible, is just too difficult for me to consistently pull off, let alone three times in a row (although I did it twice in a row a few times).Heeeey everybody!

Even as a press demo, especially if it's a press demo, if you show off a game as having a choppy framerate this close to release, moving the release date UP doesn't seem like the best move.
But hey, if it's buggy, I'm sure they'll patch it after it's out, right?

They're doing fine. The choppy demo that's going around is a VERY early WiiU build. The same sort of build we got of the PS3 game back in April. I talked with Steve Lycett myself and he even said the WiiU version is coming along great due to the power of the system. The way he spoke of the WiiU version was enough to get me to swap pre-orders.. Check it out here.

apparently SEGA Japan has renamed the classic Sonic animals with new names
http://www.sonicstadium.org/2012/09/oh-na-na-pocky-was-the-name-sonic-characters-given-new-names/
mostly just trading names between them it seems...
seems like the work of Iizuka-san to me, why? because it makes no sense! Plus.. being the head of Sonic, it's a decision he himself would of had to greenlighted... ;P

Episode III
Sonic the Hedgehog 5 Episode III
Ken's PR line:
This is truly Sonic the Hedgehog 5 as you imagined it. See how the Sonic the Hedgehog saga began!
Iizuka interview:
Q: Why Sonic the hedgehog 5 and why skipping right to episode 3?
Iizuka: The team wanted to show the fans the truth of how Sonic really came to be.
Q: Will the game play like the classic Sonic games?
Iizuka: We have included updated gameplay and physics that we think will make the fans happy.
Q: Did you get rid of the homing attack?
Iizuka: (laughter) No. The homing attack keeps speed going at a good pace to better momentumate the player

Clearly they are reintroducing the little animals in advance of their announcement of -cky: Turnabout is Fair Play, wherein you command a vast army of the critters to overthrow the tyrannical Dr. Eggman. RTS fun for the whole family!
If this means having a Flicky army then Day 1.

It would.
You gain recruits by defeating the opposing side. Destroying badniks frees more animals to fight for the cause. Losing animals means more badniks can be created.

I went shopping today, and someone bought the book for me as a gift. I didn't want to get it because I have heard that it has several inaccuracies (ex: especially about Nintendo's own games, how there was only one Castlevania game for the N64, calling Philips "Panasonic" several times when discussing the CD Add-on), so I hope I pick up on them when I read them. I've also heard that the author's writing style is extremely poor.
It likely won't be as good as "Game Over: How Nintendo Conquered the World", and it might not be as in-depth as "Nintendo Magic" (the book about the success of the Wii and DS). But I like reading about videogame history, so...
Man, I wish other companies would have books written about them. The only thing we have that's the closest to that are some of the documentaries in this thread, and also that "Ultimate History of Video Games" megabook. At least we have that History of Sonic book coming out soon.

I thought Blaze >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Amy. Out of all the females in the games, Blaze is the best one.
I don't see why they're even going with those covers, anyway! The next issue has the Tails cover. They're so bland and boring.

Well, as a guy who lurks occasionally around the Doom fandom (because I friggin' love Doom), there's a novel titled Masters of Doom that chronicles the history of id Software. Granted, I believe it was written somewhere in the '90s, so it's not the most up-to-date history, but by all accounts it's a fascinating read.
Tails is a pervert.

I never thought Tails would stoop that low
A weird joke mod for Generations, "that tornado is carrying a car". :>

That... that... yes.
On a related, comforting note, Generations has Anti-Werehog technology built in.
It's actually the Generations level ported to Unleashed, hence the pop-up and bloom.
I actually find it a little amusing to watch for some reason. I think because it's slow, and the werehog runs like a wolf.

If there was one thing I remember disliking about rush it was those odd gimmicky sections like in the pyramid stages where you get full directional movement on a very slow platform to dodge rocks, it's far from Rush at those points.
