Why did he (and the audience) think the profanity was so funny, were they serving drinks?

Also, he shouldn't sound so surprised when explaining how hard multiplayer network code is - it certainly makes it sound like they are in over their heads as programmers.

Very slick presentation video though, and I'll be checking out the site.

I think drinking + charisma.

There was at least one person who didn't think it was funny: http://is.gd/4dMK (vw link)

everybody pre-games those things anyway

This was done really well. It kind of reminds me of the presentation done with the PS3 game Little Big Planet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uToBarLr_U

Charles timing was a bit better than the Sony presentation.

Hey that sounds really good, open source gaming platform! Even though I don't play games much, sounds like a lot of people will like it...but....

How are they going to make money???

Who wouldn't want to make money for their great games? Online "casual" web-based games have been extremely hard to monetize, historically. The standard route has been to monetize with a preloader advertisement. Unfortunately, these advertisements have extremely low click-through, and ultimately, do not generate much revenue unless multiple millions of people are playing your game everyday.

We think game developers should make money based around things people actually want. Items.

People love your games. People would love to buy upgrades to your games. We will make it possible for people to buy items that you create for your games - and you make the money.

SO it is sketchy and maybe untested but its interesting.

Thanks for that!

I love stuff like this. People presenting cool new things but keeping fun about it: we need humor at times like these. (And most other times too, for that matter.)

Anyone know how the API compares to Kongregate's?
