Orbus Gameworks in PCZone UK

Dec 8, 12:38 AM

I forgot to post this a month back: Orbus Gameworks appeared in the November 2008 issue (#199) of PC Zone Magazine (based in the UK). Their article, called “Tales of Telemetry” is a pretty excellent overview of the state of gameplay metrics across different companies and genres. They interview the usual suspects, like Valve and CCP, but they also talk to EA’s Burnout Paradise team, and there’s a cool sidebar about how Frank Lantz and his team at area/code are using real-world metrics in Sharkrunners. I received permission to post scans of the article, here are the two pages (click to embiggen):
