So, we’ve been reliably informed by the esteemed Danny “dislekcia” Day that he’ll be promoting Dev.Mag on tonight’s showing of The Verge on DSTV’s GO channel at 9:30. If you have access to a South African television set, then stay tuned and make some lame whooping noises when we get our airtime.
What he’ll ALSO be promoting is the currently-running Game.Dev Comp 22 (super-duper news report here, competition thread link here), which has developers re-imagining an existing game in a new and exotic genre. So far, we’ve got everything from Gears of War JRPG prototypes to Worms being re-imagined as a board game (I even made a crude – and mildly disturbing – AVP dating sim to kickstart the festivities, much to the chagrin of decent human beings everywhere).
SA entrants only, but everybody else is welcome to have a look at this stuff too.
