Indie Survival Guide
Last Friday Kevin Cerdà did a speech about game design at the UAB, an university from Barcelona. He talked about his career as a developer while giving the audience some useful advices about how to survive in the dangerous videogame world while riding a shark. The speech was in spanish, though.
We have to give special thanks to the guys from Brauni Studio, a low cost studio from Barcelona, that came to the speech to record it with two cameras, a good microphone and a lot of patience (they had to be standing up for two hours to record it). Actually, it's not the first time that we collaborate with them: they were the guys that did the awesome greenlight tráiler for Nihilumbra.

German Developer Awards 2013
Last week, the 10th German Developer Awards were celebrated. We were happy to see that a couple of friend studios won a prize there. We are talking about Studio Fizbin, who won the Best Family game award with their great graphic adventure: "The Inner World"; and Threaks, who won The Best Serious Game and the Best Game Design award with "Beatbuddy".
Wolf Lang from Threaks and Alexander Pieper from Studio Fizbin.
They both made a huge mistake adding Kevin on Facebook.
We would also like to mention another winner of the ceremony: the computerspiele museum from Berlin. It's a really cool museum that we recommend to everyone who likes videogames. It's not so big, but it's filled with interesting stuff. You should absolutely go there and play with their PainStation a little bit.

Nihilumbra on 20 Minutos
The 12th of December, BeautiFun Games was mentioned in an article on a Spanish newspaper called 20 Minutos. It's really cool because it's a free newspaper that everyone reads on the train. You can see the article (in spanish, of course) in the page 14 on this link.
VideoGame Maps
We've found this website. You should visit it. Now. It's absolutely amazing.
On this site, you'll find the original maps of thousands of games from a lot of different consoles. Just go now and check it. As a reference I'll leave here a map from the second Streets of Rage just because it's cool.
The most epic wedding ever
Adam Bohn, founder of Artix Entertainment (the creators of Adventure Quest) stars in the most epic wedding ever seen by mankind. When the priest asks if someone has any objections with the wedding, a character from their own game appears and Adam has to fight with him. Right there. With swords. We don't want to spoil you the video, but let's just say that we hope that the bride didn't get pissed; because she can't be in the spotlight when a bunch of ninjas breaks in a wedding.
