Sega’s Golden Compass blog now up
Many authors of children’s and young adult’s fiction found their claim to fame when their books gave way to adaptations, either on the big screen or on the console platform. Phillip Pullman is no exception with the His Dark Materials trilogy. With a game based on the first book of the series, you can now keep yourselves updated on the status of The Golden Compass game on their new blog.
David Allen, Sega‘s official “Asset Wrangler” for the game, will be writing periodical blog entries on some of the cool stuff regarding the game. This is a job he considers “the best job in the world” as he tells his background and the reason behind his role in enticing readers in anticipation for the game’s release.
For instance, he had this to write about why Sega thought him as the best candidate for this job:
I think they asked me to do this job because IÂ’ve worked in TV so IÂ’m used to working on sets and I know you need to turn your mobile phone off before they shout “action.” I must have done something right somewhere because I secured the gig and was packed off to the set to meet producer Deborah Forte…. When I wasnÂ’t stuffing my face with a beautifully prepared three course meal or buffet, I was there to make sure SEGA received what it needed from the film production team for The Golden Compass video game. ItÂ’s really about acting as the on-set eyes and ears for the developer, Shiny Entertainment.
The Golden Compass is set to be released alongside the movie this December and will be coming out for the PC, Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii and DS.
