Limbo Coming to Smartphones?
A job posting at game site Gamasutra is suggesting that indie studio Playdead is attempting to bring their games to mobile platforms including iOS and Android. The posting is asking for programmers to port the company’s games to new platforms specifically naming iOS, Windows Phone 8, Android, and Google’s Native Client NACL.
The ad reads:
We have already released a game on X360, PS3, Windows, OSX and OnLive and we are continuously investigating other possible platforms. We are currently investigating following new platforms; iOS, Win8, Android, NACL and other platforms could become relevant as well.
Unfortunately, Playdead been keeping mum about the entire situation. Playdead co-founder Dino Patti told Eurogamer this morning that they don’t have any official announcement regarding the rumor at this moment.
Limbo is the unique puzzle-platformer that released in 2010 for XBLA. It’s since been ported to multiple platforms, earned numerous awards and sits highly regarded on Metacritic with a score of 90. I’ve called it one of the 15 Must-Play XBLA Games and Juan scored it an outstanding 9.5 in his review of the PSN version.

I am a 20 year old male.
I’ve been depressed since early 2009 during the second semester of my senior year of high school. I still haven’t been able to find my place in the world, and I’m not sure what to do now.
I went to community college for two years because I couldn’t afford to go to regular college. I didn’t have any friends there, didn’t join any clubs, and didn’t push myself to do the great things I did in high school. I got good grades, but not the GREAT grades I was capable of.
I decided to take out loans and transfer to regular university, but the only thing I’ve found here is that my life is just a mess compared to everyone else of my age group. I can’t find any sort of career that I would want to do, and it makes me even more depressed. I feel obligated to do something useful with my life because of the good grades and earlier academic achievements I’ve gotten, but I just can’t find anything. I used to want to get a PhD in Psychology, but that no longer seems appealing.
I kind of just want to find a full time job, and just live the rest of my life in the limbo that I was in for the past two years. I realize this is a bad idea, but I don’t know what else to do. I have no talents, passions, or anything to make a career out of.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
