Today my article on Steve DeBaun, co-creator of Smashball, a mod based on the Source engine and available on Steam, was published and is in print. If you live in Ventura County, pick up a copy of the VC Reporter today. It is almost always the case that the print version looks far superior to the online version (more pictures!).
Besides reading it because you like me, read it because Steve DeBaun is an interesting fellow with a vision. I have no doubt that one day him and his partner Mike Bott will be recognized for their gaming innovations.
They are, as I put it, the 'open source' developers -- as in, they aren't confined to a cubicle or a large office. Steve makes his office the streets of Ventura. On top of that, their ideas aren't limited to a MMORPG; they want to make what amounts to the "NFL of video games," in which watching is just as fun as playing.
Stay tuned for an in-depth review of "the galaxy's most violent sport" (once I get a hold of The Orange Box!)!
