TAWKN.com just posted an interview with Michael Michael of PomPom games. The interview covers everything from their PSN titles Astro Tripper and Gemini Rings, to potential Home support, to Sony's recently-announced Pub Fund.
Here is one sample question from the interview:
"TAWKN.com: Can you comment on the recent news of publishers being charged by Sony for putting content on to PSN, and what that means to small developers like yourself?
Michael: It doesn't mean anything. As I said before, if Sony want to put our games on their console we are going to take it. Download costs are part of the deal. We (or any other dev for that matter) would be plain stupid to turn down the chance because of download costs! Besides, we're used to this kind of expense from our PC days. The rate Sony charge is very competitive."
Rogue Legacy arrives for the second week in a row as we discuss late-game strategy. Also, Full Throttle, Bleed, The Witcher 2, and Brutal Legend!
The DPod is a weekly live videocast discussing all the week's news bits and a wide variety of gameplay footage and discussion. There's a little something for everyone!
Steam’s deal of the day for October 26th is Astro Tripper. Also the sale will end in 24 hours, hence the “deal of the day”, so you have until 1pm EST or 10am PST tomorrow to grab this deal. Below is a description on the game as well as some important information.
LAG - I’m sure everyone, deep in their sub-conscious, has fond memories of Christmas. I remember vividly that for one Christmas all I wanted was a spaceship, a real one. In retrospect that’s a pretty big ask to place into the hands of my parents but if the Thunderbirds could have spaceships then why not me? Ah the impeccable logic of a six year old. I bring this up because as I played Astro Tripper (a top down shoot-em-up from PomPom Games, available on Steam and PSN) I couldn’t help but think if I actually got my spaceship for that fateful Christmas, my life would hopefully be something like this.
$5 well spent compared to sh1t like Noby Noby Boy imo.
PS3 owners...support the small developer and buy this (better than Capcom raping you more).
Someone wrote up a pretty good review about this game, I've been meaning to check it out.
