      Hey, Matt. I like your games. What game engines/programming languages did you use for following titles: An Untitled Story, Jumper, FLaiL ? Thanks

      I'm hoping to start making games and have been playing with various things to do so (GameMaker, Sleep is Death). Is there any programming language you suggest I start out with?

      GML (Game Maker's scripting language) is okay for beginners. ActionScript 3 + FlashPunk (to make Flash games) is also a good place to start http://flashpunk.net/

      How does Ogmo feel in SMB?

      I think they did a really great job balancing him in the context of the game.

      What happened to your old friend Dex? And what was his personal website address, I remember the name being not very rememberable.

      He travels a lot now and doesn't make games, seems happy :) dexxent.com maybe? Not sure, don't think it's still up anyways

      So, the music choices for Runman... why really old public domain stuff? Should also ask Tom this question as well?

      Yeah ask Tom, he made that call.

      Is it difficult making those flash games like Give Up Robot? How long did it take you approximately?

      asked by NoamEtedgy

      The creative side is the harder part now that I'm pretty proficient at the technical side of game development. GUR2 took me about 3 months.

      What's your opinion on drugs? Do you do them? If so do you do them often?

      Adults should be able to do what they want if they know the risks and it doesn't harm others

      So what're the plans for a fourth Jumper game, if there are any? (sorry, this has probably been asked a million times xD)

      asked by PoisonUnagi

      None right now. I cannibalized all my J4 ideas for my current non-Jumper project.

      "Are you going to do a play through of one of your games with a commentary? --- please do this, it would be awesome" I agree with this completely. Do it with AUS!

      Not really sure what I'd say but I might try it

      You are the most beautiful level designer in the whole world. How can I be as beautiful a level designer as you?

      Thank you. Practice. Just design lots of levels and be self-critical. Think about why you put stuff where you put it and how it will affect the player's experience.

      How does the bird in AUS play the arcades? I didn't think birds had thumbs, or even hands.

      Good point

      Do you enjoy playing your own games?

      Only a while after release. I'm pretty sick of playing my games when I release them.
