On the first day of the Montreal International Game Summit, Chaim Gingold and Chris Hecker presented a keynote on the topic of "advanced prototyping," specifically as to how it pertains to Spore, the game that currently occupies their time over at EA/Maxis. The same talk, given at the 2006 Game Developers Conference, was rated higher than any other presentation, including Will Wright's, their boss's. Before the keynote, Joystiq had a chance to chat with both Chaim and Chris, and discuss their impetus for joining Maxis, the evolution of Spore, and the relationship between Maxis and EA.
"North Star Digital Studios (a digital board game development studio from Kensington, MD) are today very thrilled and proud to announce that their award-winning tabletop strategy game "Evolution" (which has 3 million players worldwide across physical and digital editions) is coming to the Nintendo Switch on December 10th, 2020." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
This week Mandi (@boardgamerpinup) from Salt and Sass(Apptastic), To Die For Games and The Dice Tower joins Mike (@AssaultSuit) , Tiny (@Tiny415) and Aaron (@Ind1fference) to talk about movies, comics with healthy doses of board and video games.
The card game 'Evolution' comes to life, but fails to adapt as a video game.
