Rinku // 20:40Nice! Any idea how BusinessWeek found it?
Re: YOU FOUND THE GRAPPLING HOOK -- PRO EDITION
messhof // 21:24Their summary sounds a lot like http://playthisthing.com/you-found-grappling-hook so I feel like they probably found it there. What I really posted about though, was the special edition they are linking to.
Re: YOU FOUND THE GRAPPLING HOOK -- PRO EDITION
CosMind // 21:51a quote from a headline that i found through a trail of linkage via that businessweek post:
Laurent Detoc, Ubisoft North America's president, talks about how the company's surging profits have been driven by innovation and cross-genre experimentation embracing casual games and younger audiences.
did i miss something?
i can only snicker.

on topic, now - it's neat to see you iterating and building upon one of your past releases.

Rinku // 22:21Ah. The mainstream press tends to be lazy like that. It's the smaller-scale news sites that have the most interesting reviews and articles I've found.
(Coincidentally, that playthisthing article was written by one of my friends, Patrick Dugan, he goes by the99th there. He invited me to write for playthisthing too, and I have a few articles half-written for it but nothing finished due to my laziness.)

Re: YOU FOUND THE GRAPPLING HOOK -- PRO EDITION
Rinku // 23:46I played it originally -- is this a newer version?
Re: YOU FOUND THE GRAPPLING HOOK -- PRO EDITION
Rinku // 23:50Haha, it is. I just entered the BusinessWeek offices in the game.

Re: YOU FOUND THE GRAPPLING HOOK -- PRO EDITION
Rinku // 00:39It's not really an iteration, it's more of a joke-variation (although not even a variation because the gameplay is totally different).
I kind of doubt most of the people who dl it from that site will even be able to get to the BusinessWeek offices though (it requires climbing a wall for several screens and it looks like it goes on forever).
