Welcome to a mid-week special of The DeFrag Afterparty!
Where we say things that make sense in our heads but seldom anywhere else!

In this mid-week special, we interview the Lead Gameplay Designer at Phosphor Games; Steve Bowler about Project Awakened, the new kickstarter endeavor by Phosphor Games Studio.

We got a chance to talk to Steve about some of the difficulties in designing such an ambitious game, and his role as Lead Gameplay Designer at Phosphor Games Studio. Take a listen!

Welcome to another week of The DeFrag Afterparty!
Where we say things that make sense in our heads but seldom anywhere else!

This week we have great news out of Kickstarter starting with the first gameplay trailer of Wasteland 2; for those of you you remember the very successful kickstarter.
Following this, Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey has joined the realm of games on kickstarter with an ambitious goal of $850,000. But fear not, they’ve already surpassed $550,000. Only having been up for a few days, that’s impressive! So donate now!

In other not-so-great-news, Gamestop isn’t very happy with the possible new concept of “no used games” approach taken by the next gen console market, Microsoft is retiring its XNA game dev program, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick talks the cost of next gen development, and Epic Games has closed the doors on Impossible Studios which only formed last August.

But we finish up with better/crazy news, as DICE brings us Gabe Newell and J.J. Abrams talking about a Half-Life/Portal movie possibility, and Obsidian wants to do Star Wars again!
So do we Obsidian, so do we…

And to finish things up, head over to our Facebook Group and vote to choose from a list of terrible videogame movies for our movie night!

P.S.
To get the Dreamfall goodness in its whole, check it out at GOG.com where you can buy the original, or the two together. Would strongly suggest it. Also for Steam people.
