What would Molydeux? In about a week and a half, we’re going to find out. That question, of course, is the name of the coming international game jam that will give game developers in locations around the world 48 hours to break into teams and come up with games based on the wacky game design ideas of Peter Molydeux, the evil satirical twitter-twin to the famous game developer Peter Molyneux.
Yesterday, there arose a game jam that will turn Peter Molydeux‘s wacky game ideas into real, playable games. Since then, things have… escalated.
You may be familiar with Peter Molydeux, the parody Twitter account of veteran game developer Peter Molyneux. Known for throwing bizarre and often hilarious game ideas out into the world, there is now a game jam being set up in his honour.
I gotta say, I think that Chris Hecker makes some good points when he calls the video industry out for a lack of variety. Too many games are the same old thing! We need new, fresh ideas! We need smart, creative thinking! In short, we need Peter Molydeux.
What if controllers had feelings? What if every time you yanked a power cord, your console started to scream? What if your games could cry?
He’s back: Fake Peter Molyneux’s Twitter feed is once more live and ready to Tweet out funny, fake, absurd, sometimes interesting game ideas, as predicted. Follow him.
Peter Molyneux satire Twitter account remains shut down, but the man behind the parody Tweets tells Kotaku he’s working with Twitter to try and get it back up and running.
