No More Sweden

So what can I say? It was just great. Lots of cool people, lots of good games made and lots of really interesting discussions about creativity, business and how to combine hobby with work. It was kind of comforting to hear that there were others worrying about the same things I do, at least to a certain extent. I think about it a lot though, like is it really possible to make games for money and still keep it fun? Maybe making games full time is a terrible choice?

Anyway, you can read about the party at Erik Svedäng’s blog. Here’s the game I made together with Mårten Brüggemann of Pieces Interactive (music by Erik Sjöstrand) for the Game Compo.

You Have To Fertilize The Egg (Download)

Warning! Fantastic (but potentially offensive) music by Erik Sjöstrand!

I wrote the physics during the competition which was a really silly decision. It resulted in crappy physics and lots of wasted time that could have made the game more playable. Oh well, it’s an “art game”! It’s not meant to be “playable”, bah!

    Dear Ove,
    If you e-mail me your address I might be
    able to send you a refund.
    Did you recognize the (very obscure) reference
    in the art statement?
    Your friend, Kian

  • What’s this?

    My name is Kian Bashiri and I'm
    an independent game developer
    from Sweden.

    The game medium is still young,
    immature and so full of potential.
    A creative person can hardly find
    a more exciting space to explore!
