If you happen to be around make sure to check it out. David will be there to answer all your panoramical questions.

#lostlevels is an impromptu set of sessions aiming to counteract some of the exclusive aspects of the industry events going on during that same week: everyone can attend, give a talk, hang out with people or discuss sandwich techniques. No filters, no passes, just fun.

So if you’re attending GDC, visit lostlevels.net for more info and tell your devfriends!

It will be a downloadable title for PC and Mac and, additionally, it’ll be playable with a tablet app.

This was made possible by the help of the Indie Fund, who is backing Panoramical in its endeavour to people’s living rooms.

Talking with Ben about Unity is and how cool but dangerous some features are since they make your game totally look like they’re made in Unity we came up with the idea of doing a short game jam based around only using Unity: all your assets and game logic must come from free stuff available in the built-in Asset Store.

We both started with the standard Car Racing demo as a starting point. Two hours later, the results were two completely different “games”:

Noah Hard Skull Ark by Ben Esposito:

Stop it Space Man by Fernando Ramallo:

We hope to repeat this with more people, since they were crazy fun to make.

You can play the games on Kongregate by clicking on the screenshots.

I’ll be there, so ping me if you wanna meet!

Wrote a bunch of articles on independent games, designers and stuff for a government-funded magazine for kids.

Made Planeteri, a set of abstract pixelly pseudo-interactive visualizations for iOS in collaboration with Pixeljam, now published as part of the Pixeljam Octology for PC/Mac.

Made a prototype and got it picked by Adult Swim for a fully fledged web game that I worked on for about four months, about get it done.

Made Panoramical as a small prototype with David, polished it, showed it at Indiecade, got a great response, showed it at a lot of places, made an iPad controller and a standalone version, and is now our Next Big Thing.

Helped organize Fuck This Jam! with Rami, an international game jam about making a game in a genre you hate. I’ve never organized a game jam before.

Organized PLACEHOLDER, a local multiplayer independent games party, in Guadalajara. I’ve never organized a party like it before.

Woah.

Edit: a few other highlights I just remembered:

• Freaking moved to a weird new country.
• Organized the Guadalajara venue of Molyjam, made a game about holding a hand.
• Made a co-op racing/drawing game prototype [video]
• Showed a gallery version of my indirect drawing toy Lienzo Fértil at a local new media festival.
• I met Pen, played videogames and drank his leftover sake!

I wish I could go, it’ll be an awesome night!
