Up to now BASHandSlash.com has focused on the "major" studios and their blockbuster releases. However, by concentrating on only what was happening in, for example, the CoD and BF world, we have been missing all the really cool PC-centric stuff that has been happening in the indie scene.
For some, like BASHandSlash.com forum reader Kucd, the activity from independent developers is of no surprise. But for many, it is truly an unknown world. Some of this activity is quite interesting and revolutionary, so, given the positive news coming out of PC FPS-gaming of late, I thought we should continue the trend and mention what one indie game developer has been up to.
On to ensure they are no longer an unknown world to our listeners, is the Game Director for Unknown Worlds, Charlie “Flayra” Cleveland.
Charlie talks to us about Unknown World's latest offering, the online FPS game, Natural
Selection 2 (NS2) and also delves into his vision of the future of PC game modding.
My co-host on this cast is Crosshair’s iBleedv20.
While the “big blockbuster” FPS producers are busy trying to build
walls around their intellectual property, folks like Unknown World’s
devs are opening as many welcoming doors and windows into theirs.
In this cast, Charlie gives us a really cool, inside look into the
thinking behind NS2 and its predecessor Natural Selection. NS2 is
currently days away from being in Alpha and we hope all of you get over
to naturalselection2.com
and learn more about the game and download it!
