Unwinnable

Remember those completely unrealistic hacking sequences in 90s movies? If you like them, you’ll love PWN, by Erik Asmussen. Sam Machkovech got to talk to Erik about his competitive hacking game at the Unwinnable salon.

Like many before him, when Ben Ruiz of Team Colorblind saw our giant bean bag chair, he couldn’t help but flop down in it, beer in hand. And who could blame him after the exhausting week that is GDC 2013?

Ben was showing off Aztez, a beautiful side scrolling beat-em-up/strategy game with a bloody Aztec theme – and now we’re excited to show it off to you. For more on Aztez, visit the development blog or jump right in and play the most recent build! (more…)

Unwinnable House

After GDC 2012, someone asked, “Why can’t we all just live together and be awesome?” For GDC 2013, we decided to give that a shot and rented a 19-room mansion on the Panhandle of Golden Gate Park. Over the course of the week, more than 20 journalists slept under our roof at one time or another. Surprisingly, none of them brought even a single Nerf gun, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t have our share of fun. We have a ton of videos in the works to share with you, detailing our time at the conference, the amazing people we met and the secret salon we held the last night of the trip. All of that will be coming soon, but like every good sitcom, we thought it would be good to introduce the house and its residents in a good old-fashioned credit sequence. Welcome to Unwinnable House.

Richard Hofmeier’s Cart Life – a realistic and sometimes brutal portrayal of street vendors struggling to make ends meet that swept the Independent Game Festival awards during this year’s Game Developers Conference – is a deeply affecting game. Hofmeier isn’t interested in his indie limelight, however, and made sure everyone attending GDC knew it with a spraypainted endorsement of Porpentine’s Twine game Howling Dogs over Cart Life’s space at the IGF pavilion the day after the awards. Team Unwinnable’s Sam Machkovech interviewed Hofmeier at Unwinnable’s secret game salon following GDC to get a feel for Hofmeier’s thoughts on Cart Life, GDC and sharing the wealth. (more…)

Geek Flea IV: The Movie

It is a sad fact that only so many people can live in North Jersey and experience Unwinnable’s Geek Flea at any given time. So, for Geek Flea IV, we decided to film all day so we could bring a little bit of the fun and excitement to you, no matter where you are. (more…)
