retro/grade teaser site up!

Jeff Parrott

So about 5 or so months ago I quit my job and started working on a small game company with a few really talented programmers I know. We worked on a few other things here and there. Once we found a good idea and concept we put a demo of it together. Here it is:

The idea is basically it's a rhythm game, but with ships, and in reverse. Right now it's just a pc demo. We're trying to shop it around now to see if there's any interest to make it into a full steam/xbla/wiiware/psn type title.

Anyways, just thought some of you guys would like to check it out. We also submitted to IGF. Which the nominations are in early January. So pull for us!

Dude, this looks badass!

Adam Curtis

ha, nice idea. good job guys.

Hardset

Looks incredibly fun. If you want to throw this on the 360, torque has an XNA engine that could easily handle the concept and conversion quickly. Good luck with the IGF!

nkoste

Very nice! The concept shows a lot of potential. Is it space fight only or will there be mazes and boss-fights as well?

Slum

Awesome, really cool concept for a rhythm game.

Also, three cheers for additive blending!

Thanks guys!

We're using our own engine for the game.

If we get the opportunity to do a full game we'd add bosses and extra planets, etc. Fun stuff like that.

Definitely took a while to find a good concept that was fun and worth doing.

Looks like fun! Best of luck to you!
