It's been a wild ride for Audiosurf's wild ride: the game, which allows players to race along tracks generated from their MP3 libraries, was a finalist in the Independent Game Festival before becoming Steam's best-selling title last month. Ars spoke with the game's creator, Dylan Fitterer, about Audiosurf's success and its technical underpinnings.
Audiosurf went from IGF to Steam in practically no time at all, right?
Well, I think IGF brought Audiosurf to Valve's attention, and then it all happened very fast. We all wanted to move quickly.
According to Wikipedia, you're the first game to use Steamworks.
Right. Steamworks is Valve's system that lets anyone tap into Steam's features, like friends, voice chat, piracy protection, and achievements. It's really easy to use.
