XBOX LIVE Indie Game-A-Week Experiment!
by Joey Rodriguez - 04/19/2010
Yes, that's right. We're crazy. Really crazy. Oh God, TOO crazy.
We are about to embark on a very ambitious, and possibly stupid, experiment. We will be creating, from scratch, five games in just five weeks for XBOX Live Indie Games. That means, every week we will come up with a new idea and by the end of the week we will have a fully playable game. The challenge of creating a video game is definitely a rewarding one, by allowing ourselves only seven days to create a game, we hope to find a balance between simplicity and fun. Hopefully, what we learn from our experience can be used to create bigger, more expansive games. (Zoop To The Future!)
Everybody will be able to play the games, once they have gone through the XBOX LIVE Indie Games approval process (that time does not figure into the actual experiment). We are currently fundraising right now in order to fuel our five week, and according to our rules a possible nine week, suicide mission. If you are interested in donating or would like more info, head over to our official fundraising page on Kickstarter: http://kck.st/dnkaih
Zoop To The Future! A Somewhat Comical Point-N-Click Adventure
by Joey Rodriguez - 04/18/2010
Zoop To The Future! is going to be our first big game and we thought we should share a little info about it.
The game will be a point-n-click adventure in the style of The Curse of Monkey Island, Sam & Max: Hit The Road, and Day of the Tentacle. You will be able to control all three main characters (Joey, Danny, and Prickley Pete) at once and you will be able to use them independently to solve puzzles from across the room and across the space time contiuum!
After getting a mysterious letter from the past, Prickley Pete soon learns that his family timeline is in danger of being altered and he could possibly lose his "Zoop!" forever! Oh, and maybe he wouldn't exist...or something. Prickley Pete and his two best friends, Joey and Danny, must jump into action in order to fix time!
Featuring wacky characters, hilarious dialogue, and some mind-bending puzzles, we think Zoop To The Future! is going to be a great addition to the XBOX LIVE Indie Games library. We will also be releasing it for PC, Windows 7 Phones, and Zune HD.
