Fertilized with intuitive gameplay, does this garden grow on the player?
Where do new game design ideas come from? It's the kind of question that might come to mind playing PixelJunk Eden or Noby Noby Boy for the first time. Here, game creators from both titles voice their perspectives on the subject of creativity in the video game industry.
This discussion between the two creators offers various insights into their views on what matters most to creating enjoyment through game design.
I enjoyed this interview very much. It brings many questions that I commonly ask myself when it comes to the current state of our industry.
Nidzumi writes: We recently had a chance to quiz Minimal House Music Producer and Graphic Designer, Baiyon. Better known with in the games industry as the man behind the music and visuals in a game succinctly known for it's unique audiovisual style, Pixeljunk Eden. We find out about cut features of Eden, what Baiyon would love to move onto and the possibility of a second encore expansion for Eden.
Q-Games is a small Kyoto, Japan based company that has come a long way since its first release of PixelJunk Racers. Since then they have released two more installations in the series: Monsters and Eden. Because of the continued success of these titles, the developers have continued to support these titles by releasing expansions.
I've never thought about a PSN title as a "Day 1" purchase. I will always be exited to see a new pjGame.
I've found PSN has a lot of games I pick up on day 1.
I mean, PixelJunk Eden is a prime example of a game that really is instant buy.
I just finished monsters on casual difficulty. And got 42 spectra's on Eden.
both are AMAZING games. From graphics to sound, they define quality gaming!
I spent more hours on eden, than i usually do on a $60 retail game.
My favourite PSN game, even better than Warhawk and Burnout: Paradise, is Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Poweres Battle Cars. Check it out :)
Although it wasn't a day 1 purchase for me, (since i didn't know what it was, and wasn't familiar with the quality this studio puts out) i played eden to death. Got all the spectras and all the trophies. Definitely gets harder and more interesting towards the end!! SSHD was day 1 for me tho. Don't regret it. Love PSN titles. Great quality.
I would give it a 9, because it's so innovative.
Hmmm, I have heard a lot about the game but never bothered to see what it was about. Going to look at it now. But the design looks like Flow.
I need a good game to play.
i bought this game with hi hopes and all you fing do is spin around on silk and collect pollen/on another note have you guys ever had your ps3 play a game and the characters bodies move around erratically i had to send my ps3 back in and not to mention the 150 i had to pay.(guess its back to halo 3 until it comes back)THE HORROR THE LOPSIDED ONLINE PLAY HORROR I WANT MY PS3 BACK DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
