Gamasutra Podcast: 'Ready at Dawn's Malenfant On Daxter'

Gamasutra is proud to present the latest Gamasutra Podcast, part of our weekly audio sessions, which include both the Tom Kim-presented Gamasutra Podcast show, alongside the best lectures, tutorials, and roundtables from this and previous years' Game Developers Conferences. The latest podcast features a frank lecture by Ready at Dawn Studios' president Didier Malenfant from Game Developers Conference 2006 on the company's critically acclaimed PSP title Daxter. Among the numerous topics brought up by Malenfant during the course of his talk, he addresses some of the unique challenges that arose during the game's development, which took place simultaneously alongside the creation of the studio itself. The executive also offers a postmortem of the game itself, noting not only what went right over the course of Daxter's development, but also, in his own words, “what we screwed up.” You can now download the Daxter GDC 2006 lecture by Didier Malenfant (.MP3, 58 minutes, 14 MB).
