The day is nigh my friends, for exactly 5 weeks from today, on Sunday August 3, the first game from legendary (and mysterious) game design trio FloBeRo entitled Menagerie Of The Gods might will be released!
This game has been in (sporadic) development for many, many months, and sometime on or about Thursday, July 30th a ‘game jam‘ may will be held to force the game through alpha, beta and final crunch so it can be released on time!
Here’s a mockup screen from early in development:
As you can see this is a word game. More specifically, this is a divine word adventure game in which the player – in the role of Noah himself – must fight off the attack of savage and legendary unique beasts who are angry they were not invited on the Ark. You attack by completing words from a given pool of letters. The longer the word, the more damage you take. But beware, since these beasts fight back. How many can you defeat? How far can you get? How high can you raise your score? Time will tell…
And who are FloBeRo, the creators of this epic game? Well they wish to remain anonymous, but I was able to secure a quote from each of them for their fans:
Lead Art Designer ‘Furonzo‘: “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away!”
Lead Programmer ‘Lotus 4-5-6‘: “In space no one can hear you scream!”
Lead Game Designer ‘Electric Blue‘: “You’ll believe a man can fly!”
Wow, heavy stuff there 🙂
Mark your calendars everyone: August 3. On that day, the future of electronic gaming will arrive right here on this blog…
Wow, the offshore development team will be annoyed that the program manager has over promised and committed to a date without asking if it’s even possible!
Oh no wait, that’s just normal software development practices, it’s all good.
