EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Disney Hidden Worlds’ Game Director Eduardo Baraf

In The Little Mermaid, you can spot Mickey, Goofy, and Donald in the crowd when King Triton makes his grand entrance. But if you knew this already, you’ll love Disney Hidden Worlds, a new — and free! — hidden object game for iOS, Android, and Facebook in which you have to find secret items in images from famous Disney animated movies. Though according to Eduardo Baraf, the Studio Director at Disney Interactive, and the Game Director on Disney Hidden Worlds, there’s more to this game than meets the eye.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Maze Crusade Developer Britt Myers

Sometimes life feels like you’re running around a twisty maze with a wall of spikes chasing after you. For those times when it doesn’t, though, you can play Maze Crusade, a new iOS game from Britt Myers, who previously made W.E.L.D.E.R. Though in talking to Myers I learned that some obvious influences on this game weren’t really influences at all.

Exclusive Interview: World Of Warcraft: Dawn Of The Aspects Author Richard A. Knaak

 

It’s funny, but in a way, Richard A. Knack’s novel World Of Warcraft: Dawn Of The Aspects (paperback) may be his most Warcraft-ian book to date. And we’re talking about a guy who’s written nearly a dozen of them. But it’s not because of the story he tells in it, but rather because it was originally released in installments on the Internet like DLC.

With all five parts now being collected in a single volume from Gallery Books, Knaak made himself available to talk about how this book came to be, how playing the game inspires him, and his other non-Warcraft fantasy novels.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Heroes Of Dragon Age Producer Tim Lander

For fans of the Dragon Age games, having to wait until next fall for the next installment, Dragon Age: Inquisition, is unacceptable. Good thing they can get their fix, and portably, with Heroes Of Dragon Age, a new iOS and Android game from Capital Games and Electronic Arts. But as Producer Tim Lander explains it, while Heroes Of Dragon Age takes you back to Thedas, it isn’t a shrunken version of Dragon Age: Origins. Or Dragon Age II. Or even Dragon Age: Inquisition.

EXCLUSIVE GAME REVIEW: Tiny Brains

Tiny Brains may have most misleading name of any game in recent memory. Sure, it’s catchy, and clearly made for sequel-izing (Tinier Brains, Tiny Brains II: More Brainier…), but the fact remains that this downloadable, physics-based puzzling platformer for the PlayStation 4 requires you to have something better than a tiny brain if you want any hope of succeeding.
