The best interview ever.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6284734.html

don't dismiss it because of its size. the read is worth every second spent.

 

as a game designer wannabe (studying for it), these guys have become my gods. if i was a pre-teen girl, they'd be the equivalent of justin bieber.

they're really smart and really know what they're talking about. they're only two, have practically no funds and say what they want, all while not saying anything stupid. they developed, alone, the only game i think that can take super mario galaxy 2 for the title of "best platformer of 2010", and i reviewed galaxy 2 a perfect 10. they don't like the app store, but not for some stupid reason. they don't follow tendencies, they understand the importance of taking risks, and they show a passion for their work. the last paragraph, the teacher metaphor, it's just amazing.

 

when i finally get to design games professionally, i wish i can think like them, thus not being completely like them, but remembering to be unique and passionate about my work.

and for the record, i'm posting this as my blog on all communities i'm part of.
