TIGSource Interview: Jamie Fristrom

Lars Doucet recently did an interview for TIGSource with Jamie Fristrom. And just who is Mr. Fristrom?

Jamie Fristrom is an old industry veteran. He’s worked on everything from DOS games on the PC back in the day to Spider-Man 2 on the Xbox. Currently he’s working on a game for the Xbox 360 called Schizoid, a quirky blend of Ikaruga and Pac-Man that’s being billed as “The Most co-op game ever.” Schizoid also has the honor of being the first game developed in Microsoft’s new XNA Game Studio to be commercially released on Xbox Live Arcade.

Be forewarned, it’s loooooong interview. But a great read that covers a wide range of topics, including game design, XNA, team management, moral responsibility in game development, and Richard Garfield (the guy who created Magic: the Gathering). Definitely worth checking out.

Fascinating article, Lars! You made management an interesting topic, with relevance to the indie world.

Also, I am stoked about Schizoid. I’d like to try actually controlling both characters at once, in a brain-bending twist! Reminds me of the video of that guy playing Ikaruga co-op by himself.
