Check outthis WIP footageof one of Sophie Houlden’s current projects, an iOS title calledLeaper. That’s just one of the many games she’s plugging away at. The first game of Sophie’s that I’d ever played was a little abstract obstacle course iOS titleSWIFT*STITCH(available now for free!), but since then I’ve discovered a veritble cornucopia of titles in her library (many of them created for the online game jamLudum Dare). My favorite is probably theThe.Domestic. It’s about how having a job is the worst. It’s just likeAnimal Crossingthrown in reverse. Hey, that sort of rhymed!
We’ll be talking to Sophie about what it’s like to transition from making free games to commercial titles for iOS, what got her into game development, how she’d like the industry to evolve moving forward,Guild Wars 2and whatever else we get excited about. Please join usin the chatwhen the show goes live at1pm PST/4pm EST! Who knows? We may form a lasting emotional connection!
