STOP MAKING NOISE AND WATCH THE FUCKING MOVIE

I'd say yes. I think it's great fun. I wrote a review of a much earlier version here: http://www.jonas-kyratzes.net/2011/06/11/terraria/

Mostly because I simply know nothing at all about Android and what it takes to publish a game for it. I'm not opposed on grounds of principle, I simply wouldn't know where to start.

You asked this six months ago? How the hell did I miss that? Where is my brain?

Well, it's obviously all taking a bit longer than expected. The reason is sad and boring: I don't make enough from sponsorships to be able to spend the time working that is necessary to remake my old games. I did a bit of work on Desert Bridge, but right now there's just no way I can spare the time to finish it. If one of my newer games happens to sell for enough money to keep us going for a while, I'll get back on it. It would be great for those games to be available again.

In brief: while I utterly believe in the right of creators to be paid for their work, I think the whole controversy over internet piracy is extremely silly and highlights some of the fundamental problems of the capitalist system of ownership. Despite what the annoying DVD propaganda says, you can steal a car, but you *can't* steal a movie - you can only COPY it. I think it is impossible to assert that making an identical digital copy of something is morally objectionable.

Note that I am not advocating we all start giving everything away for free. I'm advocating a change in economic systems as the requirement for a more rational treatment of digital information.

But until we have that revolution, we could at least stop making such a fuss about something which is inevitable and not half as harmful as corporations like to claim. If we want people to pay for movies or games, maybe we should provide them with quality at affordable prices, not overpriced shit like 3D movies. Oh and maybe we should refrain from supporting austerity measures that destroy people's purchasing power, forcing them to find alternate ways of getting their entertainment.

(Sorry I didn't see this question before. Not sure what happened there!)

If it's just one scene, and the rest of the game is quite different, I wouldn't worry.

I wouldn't want people to play the first version I actually released - that's just a less good version of the current one. But the unreleased two versions before that, which were radically different, those might be interesting. Unfortunately all I can find of them is images and half-broken project files.

Probably not, unless I start getting asked a lot of questions and I get the feeling it's annoying everyone. But most people follow me on Twitter, not Formspring, and they might find some of this interesting.

In the internet age, Soviet content duplicates you.

Yes, I think so.

iCouldn't care less.

Broccoli. Maybe asparagus. Or spinach. Something healthy, anyway.

Sitting with friends in a tavern.

I'm always surprised. Always hopeful, but also always surprised.

That she doesn't expect me to celebrate Mother's Day.

I don't remember all of the GB games that I've played (some were borrowed), but Battletoads drove me insane. That bit with... what was it... driving some sort of vehicle that could jump? Impossibly fucking difficult.

Yes. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's what I'm going to do with my (still untitled) Troll game when it's done. Right now, though, I gotta find a way of surviving long enough to actually make that game.

You might enjoy Gregory Weir's (http://ludusnovus.net/) "Bars of Black and White" and "Looming."

This is a difficult question. There are a lot of great games out there, but not all of them are in Flash, and not all of them follow the same conventions as The Infinite Ocean (Looming, for example, is a third-person game). There are relatively few first-person point & click Flash games, at least heavily story-based ones. But there's a lot of great and thoughtful games out there.

The other versions of it are just irrelevant older editions; the same game, just not as good. The current Flash version is what I want people to play!

Yes, I have seen 2001: A Space Odyssey. Unlike most people, I did not enjoy it. I did, however, very much enjoy its sequel 2010: The Year We Make Contact, which I thought was much more philosophical (and very moving).

I eat chocolate and play computer games.
