Slamdance: The Aftermath

By: Tim

On: February 5th, 2007

You can read about the recent Slamdance Games meet on Gamasutra.com. A follow-up (rare, considering the withdrawals) from one of it’s participants can be found here.

Seemed like everyone had a great time. (even Danny Ledonne went to film the event) I kinda feel sorry for the participants who didn’t go, actually. Well, there’s always IGF.

Ron Gilbert (creator of Monkey Island) is an intelligent man:

“Why haven’t the other finalist pulled out in protest?

Seems like it’s for one of two reasons:

#1 – They agree the game should have been pulled.
#2 – They don’t want to lose the chance of winning the award to stand up for something they believe in.

If it’s #1, then I’m completely OK with that, but if it’s #2, I’m really confused. If I had a game in the completion, there would be no doubt that I would have pulled out. No question.

If you are one of the other competitors and you disagree with the decision of Slamdance, please pull out.”

I suspect that’s a luxury that Ron Gilbert can afford. I wonder how easy it was to get ADSL in his ivory tower? ;)

Ron Gilbert would then be pleased to know that, while the event occurred, the developers decided not to accept any awards.
