This Week's Noteworthy Game Industry Quotes "We really enjoy making our games, even though we know some people explode with rage at the sight of some of them." - Jon Flook of the indie studio Silver Dollar "The more we felt that Limbo was something, the less we wanted to market it." - Playdead co-founder and Limbo director Arnt Jensen (pictured) "Code Hero is a game that teaches you how to make games from inside the games themselves. It is a first-person shooter that teaches you how to shoot code with a code gun." - Alex Peake, CEO at Code Hero developer Primer Labs "When it comes to jelly vs. pudding -- and believe me, it is a quandary I have spent long nights losing sleep over -- it is ultimately a question of movement. Jelly, and specifically its slightly trademarked cousin Jell-O, has a lively quality of movement that pudding just doesn't have. Pudding just sits there. Even the word 'pudding' has a way of falling dollop-shaped from your mouth." - The Floor is Jelly creator Ian Snyder "Consumers are looking for not only a freemium title, but one that's filled with licensed properties and characters they care about." - EA's SVP of social and mobile games, Bernard Kim, on the publisher's upcoming Simpsons release "The game was completely designed with the Rose Planetarium in mind — at first, we wanted to create a whole rocket launch sequence from Earth, but decided against it, as a crashing space craft could cause people to puke." - Babycastles head Syed Salahuddin on a new game built within a full-scale planetarium "The trick is... to take people into a very casual-seeming experience that then brings them in to tremendous depth." - Daniel James, CEO and designer at Three Rings "I think that there were too many droughts of killer titles [for PSP]. There were too many long droughts, and I think we recognized that. And we've put a serious investment into our long-term PS Vita plans, so there's a lot of stuff in the works." - Sony's Scott Rohde on the North American launch of the PlayStation Vita The complete versions of these in-depth articles, as well as other insightful pieces, are all available in Gamasutra's pages for Exclusive items and Features.
