World of Wander - Kickstarter

Hi there my tens of readers! 

I'm back again to talk about a game/project on Kickstarter that has caught my eye, and this one is called Worlds of Wander!

Now, Worlds of Wander is a game making game (?) that lets you create and play 2D platform games in an intuitive way on all major platforms (tablets, Windows, Mac, and ubuntu) so you can create and play where ever you want! You can also share your creations with the community and play other users games to boot!

The project is being created by Tom Hall's Pieces of Fun based out of San Francisco, CA.

You might be asking yourself who this Tom Hall guy is, and that's okay. I mean, he's only been a successful part of the game industry for 21 years with such games under his belt as the Commander Keen series, Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of Destiny, DOOM, Rise of the Triad and Anachronox, and even more titles that brings his total to nearly 50(!) games! So yeah, he knows a lil somethin somethin about making games.

I grew up playing Tom Hall's games and I'm not blowing smoke here, but those games and the beautiful experiences I had with them are some of the key inspirations for me wanting to get into game development. Included with Worlds of Wander is Tom's spiritual successor to Commander Keen - Secret Spaceship Club!

So yeah, if you want to make some fun games and play fun games, give it a look see and consider giving Worlds of Wander a hand in getting this bad boy funded!

On a side note, if MMOs and Pirates are more your style, check out one of Tom's other projects, then check out Pirate 101! 

Until next time,

BROFORCE! - A game you want; trust me.

Think of a video game that lets you run around and be violent as all heck as your favorite action movie stars?

Can't think of one, can ya'? Well do I have a surprise for you!

Watch this!

Running around, blowing up enemies and raze the environment in BROFORCE! 

It's described as "A ridiculously violent platform game about being awesome action heroes from the 80s and 90s while slaying satanic terrorists and aliens while unraveling an evil plot to destroy the planet while dealing with being awesome action heroes from the 80s and 90s." 

This game is be Free Lives Games and is currently pretty fucking awesome even in its "brototype" phase!

Which you can download and play right here! BROFORCE BROTOTYPE!

There is only one problem; the game needs more lovin' from the community so that everyone can enjoy its majesty! How do you give it more lovin's you ask? Go to Steam Greenlight and let them know you want this bad mam'a-jam'a! 

I may just be stating the obvious here, but if you don't love this game and want it so bad it makes you wheep a single manly tear, than you don't love video games.

Yeah, I went there.

...

And you should go here. Vote for BROFORCE!.

Until next time,

I'll be showing off more of my low-poly models soon. I'm just lazy about taking screen shots. 

SUPER TIME FORCE!

TIME OUT! with Super TIME Force Trailer! from CAPY on Vimeo.

So, I'm a huge fan of indie games, pixels, and explosions. Actually, I'm a huge fan of a buncha stuff.

But when I first laid eyes on a screen shot of this freakin' game, I needed to know more.

The game is "Super TIME Force!" by Capybara Games, makers of Super Brothers: Swords and Sworcery EP and Critter Crunch.

So far, all I know about this metric ton of bad-ass is that it's coming out on the XBox Live Arcade in 2013 and that it looks freakin' awesome! Considering Capybara Games history with releasing titles across many platforms and making fans super-freaking happy, I'm thinking we should see Super TIME Force also coming to PC either with the XBLA release or soon after!

I'm all giddy for this one; for realsy this time!

Until next time,

-Dave
