Hmm, now you've done it... sent me scrambling across the vast interwebs. Permission to be nosey? I did detective work... I'm sure this is entertaining to you From your twitter, you posted the document that officially made you a company (congrats!). Also on the same photobucket account... there are quite a few interesting pictures. One is a schematic with things like 'launch pad being built, light beam pointed towards sky.' Possible video game-ish. Secondly, and perhaps more applicable, is what looks like a likely candidate for an iPhone game Some planets, stars, and pathways. Interesting http://s179.photobucket.com/albums/w314/AkioAkemi/?action=view¤t=giga8-1-1.jpg But lastly, and MOST IMPORTANTLY... I found something amazing at the end of the photobucket album... documentation of the elusive MAN BEAR PIG!! If you are a making a MAN BEAR PIG game... I COMMEND YOU, sir mrWalrus.
.... I have a feeling that this could be like a rocket build thing (satellite?) and there will be races to see who is fast enough to assemble the rocket, or internationally there will be forums/multiplayer games where people sign up and start assembling different rockets to see who is fast enough with some chemistry/math/physics involved to see what lands on the moon. IDK. Any other guesses?
Wow!?? My mistake... the whole time I was thinking of the game Race to the Moon. Never mind then but its a thought though LOL, someone should make that, it can be a puzzler/race game.
I also have a feeling that it could be something to do with Space Rockets. Anyone who got the email should be able to compare this to the name of the game we were told.
That stuff is all in the public domain so I have no problem with anyone looking through it. That image you're linking too is for an idea on another platform, in fact, I may have to take that down soon. So anyway, as far as actual screen shots go those are on a different site. I'll say the name of the company has nothing to do with the game.. it's just the embodiment of our spirit. Which is why we chose it. Glad to see you also appreciate some Man Bear Pig. Matt and Trey are brilliant.
I am here as you are here as you are me and we are all together. See how they run like manbearpigs from a gun, see how they fly. I'm crying. Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the beta to come. Exasperation hurts, stupid bloody Tuesday. Man, you've been a naughty boy, you let our face grow long. I am Doctor Eggman (woo), they are Doctor Eggman (woo), You are the walrus, Goo goo ga joob. Seriously, what's up Mr Walrus?
There's a saying in game development that goes like this. 'Estimate however long you think a task is going to take you, then triple it. You'll then have about the proper amount of time it's going to take.' So in that regard we're about right on schedule. Still, I know that doesn't fly well with everyone eagerly waiting and if I can be frank, it doesn't sit well with us either. Believe me when I say we want to get this game out as fast as possible. We're excited to see what everyone thinks. Saying that, we don't want to force it out the door either. We want to make sure this title absolutely screams once it gets into your hands. A goal, I can promise you, we're 100% focused on.
I don't think anyone would dare say it's not for the best, so keep on doin your thing, mrWalrus. If you're this meticulous on a beta build of the game, we're in for a treat. At least tease us with a screenshot via email or something while we patiently wait Then if it gets leaked... we'll have time to hunt the culprit down...
Well I am glad to hear some news about what's going on because I am extremely curious now. I agree if you are this careful with the beta we at least know it will have no lack of polish
Heya guys, I know it gets a little tiring to only hear lip service so I've put up a bit of a teaser image. (check the first local) Thanks for your continued interest!
if you didn't get that you shouldn't be a beta-tester for Race to the Moon! ... seriously, I haven't got a clue...
http://s179.photobucket.com/albums/w314/AkioAkemi/?action=view¤t=Picture27_.png this? This guy's an expert at teasing us. Not completely sure what I'm looking at in the image, but if my guess is right it looks like this game is played in a first-person perspective... which would be very, very cool. Maybe an adventure game? The Quest in space? Then again maybe I'm completely off. But if that is the screenshot, thanks for further confusing us
hah.. I hope not. It's just two other guys and myself. Maybe when we have a little more of a marketing budget and some time we'll get some better stuff going. The game is in third person and trust me that makes the experience way more interesting. You have a much more intimate relationship with what's going on. Lastly, I just want to say there's still actual screen shots up on the net. I'm a slight bit surprised nobody has found them. Of course, I'm not really looking to pimp them since they are rather old but since I'm the type of guy that always appreciates a good scavenger hunt I will give a clue. They are on a photo service that's hosted by one of the largest software companies on the planet. Edit: That image you found is only a small portion of the screen, blown up and gray scaled.
