    Filling the vault: Disney Mobile’s Jim Molinets and the journey of games as IP

    By

    When I was younger, a new Disney movie meant two dependable things -- a magical (if altogether too expensive) time at the theaters, and a surprisingly robust videogame. It was the company's Renaissance, and fairytale mega-hits like Aladdin and Lion King spawned clever, well-received playable titles that were often just as absorbing. But rebirth doesn't last forever.

    When it comes to raising money to produce a video game, few words have garnered as much attention in the last few years as "crowdfunding."  But while Kickstarter might be the biggest dog on the block, it wasn't the first crowdfunding site on the web, and it may not even be the best.

    Head over to The Pirate Bay right now for a quick download. No, really, it's okay. I won't tell anyone. For that matter, if it's Polish indie developer Sos Sosowski's McPixel you're downloading, you won't even get in trouble! You see, Sosowski has partnered with the controversial torrent hub to permit people to take a copy of McPixel without paying a cent. No...not permit. Encourage.

    Neverwinter lead Andy Velaskez talks the importance of player-created content [interview]

    By

    The Neverwinter name is over 20 years old, and has become a longtime piece of canonical history in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. The lands have been long regarded by fantasy fans for its excellent role-playing history, specifically across the classic Neverwinter on AOL and Neverwinter Nights series'. In the latter content creation played a big part for most players, and when word came out that Neverwinter would be seeing release in the form of a free-to-play MMO, fans were worried that this major aspect of creation would remain untouched.

    There are few games that appear they'd be a surefire hit right out of the gates, but Marvel Heroes is pretty hard to bet against at this point. The Diablo-style, Marvel-encased dungeon crawler promises thousands of relevant characters and settings from the popular Marvel universe. It also promises to be free, making it one of the most eagerly awaited PC titles this year.

    Josh Presseisen's Crescent Moon Games got its start with the help of a publisher. In 2009, Chillingo released the team's fledgling title Ravensword: The Fallen King, jump starting what is now a 15-game library of original and third party titles.Last night, an excited Presseisen and I talked about the launch of Forest Moon Games: his company's recently revealed 2D-focused publishing label revving up this fall. Things, it seems, have come full circle for Presseisen; and no one is more surprised than he.
