Comments on: What the history of the print industry can teach us about the future of the game industry. http://mile222.com/2009/04/what-the-history-of-the-print-industry-can-teach-us-about-the-future-of-the-game-industry/ Welcome to the tiny spot where I turn my insides out.

And this is exactly where I want to be headed. Not too sure about the result, but I know I love the design industry. It's so dynamic, always changing, always interesting. And I love how you bring up print, because right now that's my main hobby (screen printing). On that topic, I'm going to have to point out that Silk Screening, now called screen printing, is said to be first recognizable as a process around 960 to 1279, or during the Song Dynasty. Guttenburg has nothin on the Chinese! To continue this ramble, I'm actually very excited to see the future of either industry. Maybe I'll take the same route as you and move from a graphic focus to an interaction focus? Maybe graphic arts in itself will become much more interactive (holograms! /cross fingers). It's all very intriguing to see fold out! One more thing, on GameMaker. While it may devalue old efforts to create games by making it so easy, I do love the outcome of it. Games such as GG2 (mrfredman's) would not have been possible. But it does have limitations, which is good because it allows the industry to stay complex! A game made in gamemaker is nowhere near one made in C++... Okay now I've lost my train of thought. end. love the article!

I agree with your assessment of small teams leading the way of the future in a lot of areas. Thats one of the reasons we named our little band of developers NimbleBit! Gotta stay agile :) Technology will provide the rest. This is a wonderful article, many kudos to you for taking the time to write it up!
