This past week I’ve been interviewed for a couple of websites.  

One is for ablegamers.com, a website dedicated to disabled gamers and their love for gaming.  It’s about a recently launched game called Crush the Castle (which is programmed by Joey, my partner in crime on Fox Fyre).  Click here to check it out.

Another is for GotGame, a video and news portal for mainstream and indie gaming.  My interview had to do particularly with the dynamics of staying alive in the Flash game industry and loving what you do enough to keep at it… making games while still making enough money to eat.  Click here to check it out.

Interviews are fun.  It’s an opportunity to get out there and help contribute to articles!

Hi everyone!

Been busy this week wrapping up a game, but finally had a night to dump some photos from FGS.

Last Saturday I flew in with Joey from Armor Games into San Francisco.  We took the BART subway from SFO into Downtown San Francisco and met up with Dan (CEO of Armor).  We then took our poker chips and played in the first ever Armor Games Poker Tournament!  I ended up getting thumped out of the game pretty early but it was fun playing with the likes of Hero Interactive, Jay from Jay Is Games, and a few other family favourites.

After poker we headed to bed, but the next day was Flash Gaming Summit!

The venue was larger than I expected, and there were a ton of people.  While there was only one conference hall there was plenty of audience to fill the hall.

I talked after a few other people, and boy was I nervous.  After a few questions on stage though I was fairly comfortable.  Apparently I don’t show nervousness on stage either, so I’m glad I can sell it.  I answered a few questions from the audience and after that it was smooth sailing through the rest of the conference.

After the conference we head over the the FGS after party, complete with Guinness on-tap!  I got to hang out with some friends from Kongregate and meet up with a ton of people I haven’t had the pleasure of talking to outside of the internet.

It was a fun little trip.  Totally tired afterwards (we left the following morning), and hoping that it isn’t a weekend venture next year.  Looking forward to future years of Flash Gaming Summits!
