The Full Spelunky on SPELUNKY XBLA
SPEAKER/S: Derek Yu (Independent) and Andy Hull (Story Fort)
DAY / TIME / LOCATION: Tuesday 10:35-11:00 Room 135, North Hall
TRACK / FORMAT: Independent Games Summit / Lecture
DESCRIPTION: Derek Yu and Andy Hull share their experiences developing the platformer roguelike SPELUNKY, and explain how the project made the transition from a celebrated freeware PC game to an Xbox Live Arcade title. They discuss what makes the game tick and what challenges they faced bringing the game to Xbox 360. Along the way, the creators make a case for freeware and procedurally-generated content in games.
TAKEAWAY: Attendees will gain insight into how a popular freeware game became a commercial title and hear a compelling argument for why freeware is important. They'll also learn about how SPELUNKY XBLA was built, using easily accessible software and combining mechanics from two different genres.
