Physics Games and Physics-Based Game Downloads

Kyle Gabler, of Experimental Gameplay Project and Tower of Goo fame, recently left his job at Maxis to start up an indie studio with Ron Carmel. The new company is 2D Boy, and they just announced their first of three games: World of Goo.

More information available at the 2D Boy website.

With the increased amount of comment chatter, I decided there’s enough justification to launch Fun-Motion Physics Games Forums. I do plan to replace the WordPress comments with integrated vBulletin comments as some point (the bridge plugin for it was misbehaving for me, but I’ll fix it when I have some time).

The forum is split into two sections: one for players, and one for developers. This is a great opportunity for physics game developers to get feedback for prototypes or complete projects from real users.

Of interest to many people will be the section for suggesting games. I populated it with a handful of upcoming reviews from my queue notes (make sure you read the sticky in that section if you’d like to suggest games).

As I have more time I’ll embellish the forum theme a bit. Right now it’s stock vB. Enjoy! Make sure you read the forum rules!

Just a quick heads up: Posts this week will be slow, or likely nonexistent, as I’m in Amsterdam for the Casuality casual games conference. I’ll be back into the swing of things next week!
