F*ck This Jam begins turning hate into games today

By Dave Tach on Nov 09, 2012 11.09.12

Fuck This Jam, a game jam that challenges developers to create games in genres they despise, began today and will run through 6:00 p.m. in all time zones on Nov. 17, according to the official website. The idea behind the jam is to make "beautiful things" by subverting conventions and rules in genres that its participants despise. Rami Ismail, co-founder of Super Crate Box developer Vlambeer, also co-founded the project, to which over 1,400 jammers have pledged their participation. The website is still accepting sign ups. A page outlining Fuck This Jam's rules explains that anyone can "participate for just two days or seven days. You can even participate for an hour (like 0hjam) or for two months. It's just that we'll organize things for the week of November 9th, only". You can check...

Super Crate Box developers say efforts to protest clone 'weren't in vain'

By Samit Sarkar on Nov 05, 2012 11.05.12

The developers at Vlambeer, the indie studio behind Super Crate Box, don't regret calling out an iOS clone of their 2010 Flash game Radical Fishing — they believe their protest efforts effected real change in the gaming industry, according to an interview with Eurogamer. Vlambeer became the subject of a well-publicized debate on cloning versus iterating in game development last year, when it caught wind of a clone of its first title, Radical Fishing, in development at a company called Gamenauts. At the time, Vlambeer was about to ramp up production on Ridiculous Fishing, an iPhone remake of the studio's own game. Radical Fishing and Gamenauts' version of it, Ninja Fishing, were nearly identical, and Gamenauts refused Vlambeer's request to delay the launch of Ninja Fishing until R...

Super Crate Box was brought to PlayStation Mobile by part-time fan

By Dave Tach on Oct 03, 2012 10.03.12

A fan helped developer Vlambeer port Super Crate Box to PlayStation Mobile, founder Rami Ismail revealed on thePlayStation Blog. After Sony approached the developer about launching the game alongside PlayStation Mobile, Vlambeer began looking for help with development. "We received some great, professional applications and a single e-mail from a fan," Ismail wrote. "The fan turned out to be an avid Super Crate Box player, and an experienced programmer to boot. He made a small side-note: he would only be able to work at night, because during the day he had a job as a bus-driver. Easy choice." The unnamed fan worked with the team to translate the game's iOS-based touch controls to the Vita's hardware. Super Crate Box launched today in the PlayStation Mobile store alongside the service,...
