The Ditching of Windows Live Spaces

I can't take the ad-heavy layout here anymore, so have redirected videogamedesign.net to my .mac webspace, where I will continue the crusade. I doesn't necessarily have the widgets this does, but thank god it doesn't have the ads.

So long, Windows Live Spaces, MSN Spaces or whatever spammy title you may now bear.

Megatron: Origin out on Wednesday 20th

Megatron: Origin. Wednesday!

So after a few years of kicking this Megatron project around, it seems the first issue will actually be in print come Wednesday 20th of June.

I hope it's as much fun for you to read as it has been for us to make. It hasn't been the easiest project, as every one of us wants it to be as good as it can be.

Alex Milne has been working his guts out to make it look good and visually explore the opportunities of the setting and the time period - he's always layering ideas upon ideas into the background. Make sure you read through the issue carefully - there are many things different from the 'regular' version of Cybertron, each for a reason. I think you'll also agree that Josh Perez has come up with a really unique colouring style to capture the never-before-seen period of Cybertron that we're exploring together. Huge credit to him.

Any comments, feel free to post 'em here or link to discussions. I hope at least some are the positive kind :)

Hulk:UD Honoured by IGN

"The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction is far and away the finest videogame adaptation of a superhero license, and will likely remain that way for some time to come."

The nicest way to start the day is with an article like this. And Yahoo Movies has a new Transformers trailer!

I'm really pleased with how it has turnd out. Alex's faces are great, and the colours have a unique look to them. You can tell it's from a different time period, which was one of our original goals. Nice work, Josh!
