   Schadenfreude Interactive
  I guess pretty much everyone here knows Gamasutra. It's an excellent resource for gamedev related news and in-depth articles. Every now and then I visit the featured article section to see if anything interesting has been added.For some mysterious reason I totally overlooked the columns written by the good people of Schadenfreude Interactive. Not only have they developed some of the most awsome games ever, they share their experience by writing some great postmortems we can all learn from.For everyone who hasn't read them yet, check out: It Was All For The Birds - An Age Of Ornithology Postmortem,A Once And Future Thing: More About Schadenfreude Interactive,The Making Of Accordion Hero,and their most recent contribution: Waiting For Hasselhoff
  God I can't wait for that word to die.   ;  (if we can just sidetrack for a moment)Quote:Original post by I Like BreadGod I can't wait for that word to die.... accordion? [grin]Anyway, "Schadenfreude"? I don't mind the word. What's wrong with it? Do people use the word to make themselves seem smart without knowing what it really means?Or do you just not like the german language? [smile]   ;Quote:Original post by EndarAnyway, "Schadenfreude"? I don't mind the word. What's wrong with it? Do people use the word to make themselves seem smart without knowing what it really means?Probably just because it's used too often (overused) by, as you suggest, people trying to look more intelligent than they are. See also: zeitgeist.;  I don't know, I have kind of mixed feelings about Schadenfreude Interactive.  Yes,  their fake video game postmortems are pretty funny, but on the other hand I really want to play Accordian Hero.  Don't tease me like that.   ;  What the I cant actually play the games. This site sucks! And yes I know what "Schadenfreude" means, nevertheless they should start developing their ideas, that'd be a lot more constructive.-CProgrammer   ;  I like the sense of humor.   ;  The site is awesome. It would be cool if they would start actually developing some humorous games, though.
