Avault Podcast Episode 67
Published: 2010-02-25 04:35:09Episode 67 of the Avault Podcast features Eric Peterson, CEO of Vicious Cycle Software. Yes, they really do make games in N. Carolina. Eric shared some background on how Vicious Cycle came about, promoting your own IP, developing the software to match the abilities of the new hardware, and when the right time to reveal your product really occurs (wait until it’s done cooking). Eric also took the time to give us a look inside of his latest project Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond. This week the guys also delve into Borderlands: Secret Armory of General Knoxx (be careful - not scalable under level 50), The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom (sleeper hit?), and Nintendo’s summer offerings. There’s also a discussion of backtracking, so do you love it, hate it, or just find it a necessary component of some games?
