BOOK NEWS – ‘Doug TenNapel Sketchbook Archives’ Kickstarter Announced

By Marty Mulrooney

Doug TenNapel Sketchbook Archives

In 2010, Alternative Magazine Online interviewed legendary video game designer (Earthworm Jim, The Neverhood) and graphic novelist (Creature Tech, Ghostopolis) Doug TenNapel. Power Up was also chosen as one of AMO’s best books/graphic novels of 2009, with TenNapel described as: ‘One of the great graphic novelists of our time.’ Therefore, when the ‘Doug TenNapel Sketchbook Archives’ Kickstarter project recently came to our attention, we were understandably quite excited.

INTERVIEW – In Conversation With Sunni Pavlovic (thatgamecompany, Journey)

By Marty Mulrooney

SunniPavlovicAMOInterview

Journey (PSN) in an incredible, unforgettable experience. When I was trudging up the snowy mountainside, ice-cold wind blasting in my face, I really felt it. When I collapsed face down in the snow, my heart sank. When I was resurrected and soared higher than ever before, I felt elated. Euphoric doesn’t do the ending justice… blinding white light has become seared into my retinas. Journey is an experience saturated with emotion. One of the best games released this year and a true work of art – AMO is therefore proud to present an exclusive online interview with Sunni Pavlovic, Studio Manager at thatgamecompany!
