Recently on Offworld

Recently on Offworld we saw our first guest post by maker, writer, and ‘shoddy Cammy’ Tom Armitage of infovore.org, who takes a look at a recent post by BioShock 2 designer Steve Gaynor on ‘architecting the unreal.’

Elsewhere we saw that a new Fallout game is due for release next year (though not a sequel or an expansion), this time from some of the original series creators at Obsidian, and saw that indie favorites Introversion have a near-complete Nintendo DS version of their global thermonuclear wargame Defcon (above) that they’re hoping to release by the end of the year.

We also saw a huge slew of new Uniqlo games T-shirts now revealed, new third party hacks, tools and mods for 2D Boy’s World of Goo, Donkey Kong playable on the open-source 8×8 LED handheld Meggy Jr. RGB, and retro computers coming together to sing Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody.

Finally, we downloaded levels for Hand Circus’s iPhone platformer Rolando and saw a new colonial theme for its upcoming sequel, watched the first footage of ngmoco’s 3D spherical tower defense game, cleared off our calendar for an LA-based Poketo show featuring Her Space Holiday and Tokyo illustrator PCP, and watched newly uploaded and gorgeously shot video of Blip Fest 2007 featuring the 8-bit happy hardcore of Virt and Polytron musician 6955 doing a blissed-out shoegaze deconstruction of Fez‘s theme song.
