GarageGames Q&A

Stomped has conducted a Q&A with Jeff Tunnell of GarageGames, asking him some questions about their recently announced plans to release the TRIBES 2 technology (or their "V12" version of it anyway) to aspiring developers for $100 (story). Jeff talks about how they were able to do this, and he also provides some information about their publishing plans and confirms that GarageGames themselves will be making games with the same technology. Here's an excerpt with info on how their overall system will work:

Stomped: How will GarageGames handling the publishing of any V12 source code games?

Tunnell: That is the next area of our business plan that we tackle. First we had to get the rights to the engine, then build the site, then recruit developers and get games into production. Now we are working on the Publishing aspects. We will start off with a simple download engine similar to Download.com where anybody can list their games in a directory. This is already done, but not turned on. Next comes the e-commerce engine and back-end systems. Luckily, we have some time. Even starting with a completed engine, games take a considerable amount of time to develop. All of the games published on GG will be via download, and we have already announced our first publishing partner in Sierra. There will be other announcements.
