Codeglue’s CEO Peter de Jong and CTO Maurice Sibrandi recently celebrated the very special occasion of running their studio for an entire decade. The two founders have been friends since highschool and went to higher technical college together to study computer science. Their close friendship led them to create their own game studio in the Netherlands, Codeglue, with a focus on mobile games and applications. We recently sat down to talk with both gentlemen about the celebratory occasion, developing CD-i games, early adopting XNA and balancing passion with need.
Alex & Mike talk Biomutant, a game from Experiment 101/THQ Nordiq you likely have not heard of. While the AAA side of the industry tends to homogenization and imitative, cinematic presentation, “AA” games remain creative and innovative in 2021. Drawing on inspirations as varied as Dark Souls, third person shooters & kung fu cinema, Biomutant is Ratchet & Clank on acid, developed by a team of 20 people.
Neil writes: "With all the delays that have hit the gaming industry over the first few months of 2020, the release of big AAA titles has been somewhat slow. But that in turn does bring hope - hope to all those who are looking for cheap gaming fixes as they get the chance to do so with the older, previously missed, titles. And that is where the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 10th-16th March 2020 comes in, delivering all manner of cut price goodies to Xbox One and Xbox 360 gamers."
