Man, I tried the entire length of GDC to get an interview with Jon Blow and he kept refusing. I was told by other people this was the case for them as well. I wonder how Steve sweet talked him... _________________ “The average man has a secret desire to be a swaggering, drunken, fighting, raping swashbuckler.”

uh who is he?
edit: i mean because oh wow he's making a platformer - i tend to think of platformers as you guys think of fps games. i do agree with him on some stuff but so much of the mavericks that get featured every so often in a higher-profile outlet tend to make what i think are boring games. i don't know that we've surpassed the whole "competency" thing to get to "this is my personal vision!" _________________
