In this latest 'Road To The IGF' interview, Gamasutra chats to artist and Alien Hominid co-creator Dan Paladin about his 2006 Best Web Browser Game finalist, the distinctly twisted Dad 'N Me. Paladin created Dad 'N Me alongside programer Tom Fulp, another co-founder at Alien Hominid developer The Behemoth, and the founder of the Newgrounds website. As the official explanation for this eye-opening free indie Flash game explains: "Bully your way across the playground and through town in this classic 2D brawler where YOU'RE the bad guy! Throw kids into traffic, blow them up with propane or just throw a lawnmower at them. The world is yours for the taking!" You can now read the full Gamasutra feature on the subject, including comments from Paladin on the state of indie development and the odd reasoning behind the game's genesis (no registration required, please feel free to link to the article from external websites)
