Indie Tools: Engine 001 (IndieGames)
“As the dozens of Indie Tools already presented should have already made clear, when it comes to game development software, we are spoilt for choice. There is, quite literally, something for everyone and, appropriately, there is also Engine 001. Another game creation program created with everyone in mind, hence another tool that doesn’t require any programming knowledge.”
Trampling Through the Fields: Kevin Geisler Stomps Questions (Octodad Blog)

Cover Your Assets: The Cost Of Distributing Your Game’s Digital Content (AltDevBlogADay)
“Today’s game developers have a wide choice of digital distribution platforms from which to sell their products. When a game is very large it’s often necessary to deliver some of its content from another source, separate from the distribution service. This can be new territory for those of you who are unfamiliar with web development. In this article, we’ll discuss some of the concepts and strategies that will help you decide how to distribute your content on the web. It is well worth the effort to distribute your digital assets yourself because it gives you the chance to make your users happier.”
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Impressions (Zeboyd Games)
“I talked about Giana Sisters in one of my kickstarter reports a couple months ago so it’s a little surprising to find that it’s been released already. Funny enough, I was offered a review copy of the game without even asking, but I have an affection for Steam so I just went ahead and activated the free Steam copy I got for supporting the kickstarter.”
Art Asset Overview #37 (Wolfire Games)
“Here is the new Overgrowth Art Asset Overview video! This week, I worked more on testing and expanding the camp assets. I wanted to make sure I was able to make some convincing looking camps before moving on to different kinds of art that we still need.”
