The 2010 Game Developer’s Conference (GDC) was great fun and gave us the opportunity to meet Andy Schatz. Andy is the founder of Pocketwatch Games and designer of this year’s Independent Games Festival (IGF) grand prize-winning game, Monaco. As we mentioned at the time, Monaco deserves its award. A 4-player cooperative heist game, Monaco puts you in the shoes of one of several criminals (the doctor, the sneak, the lockpick, and more) as you try to avoid guards, grab the treasure, and make your escape. It’s almost impossible to play without yelling out the game’s tagline, “What’s yours is mine!” (as Jeffory so aptly displays in our comic tribute). Thanks for the sneak preview, Andy! We look forward to seeing the finished version at next year’s conference.

If you have a story to tell, a fact to teach, or an audience to talk to, we can help you make it happen.
