MTV gets STACKED

Joshua Stubbles · Jul 2005

We've signed a deal with MTV to showcase our game STACKED on televised tournaments, as well as other areas. MTV is actually opening a new games division now, with STACKED being their first game in line.

Should be exciting to see what they do with our game

I just pulled up my socks. They're about to get rocked.

Joshua Stubbles · Jul 2005

Hehe

For those that don't already know, Adam, BoBo and Monster have contributed to STACKED.

It was great to work with all of you

Congrats on the game guys. It looks great. Guess no one needs real friends to invite over for beer and poker anymore. But the idea of an online tournament looks cool. Should be a hit. Sure beats Microsoft Solitaire.

I have to say, Mtv having a games division gives me a sick feeling in my stomach.

John Warner · Jul 2005

yah guys, that's cool. congrats, way to go

That's awesome news. As much as I hate MTV, it's still an excellent step for exposure.

I suppose I worded that wrong

I wouldn't say it's a game 'division', but more like game advertising. MTV recognizes how huge gaming is (like the Xbox360 thing), and they want a piece of it, obviously. With STACKED, they are going to be holding televised game tournaments with MTV VJ's and celebrities, as well as have a massive online stat tracking service, along with in-depth community services. It's a new thing for MTV, and a great step for our studio. It will be nice if everything works out the way it's planned

Cool stuff guys! Having your studio linked to MTV when it's starting up its craze for games sounds like it is a good place to be in. Hopefully they won't fold up and go home when they find out most gamers don't like MTV. Do they even play music any more?

Ok time to spill the beans who did what models? Or should we have a guessing contest =P

Guess, damnit!

Adam helped me texture some props for 2 of the enviornments, which helped a lot. Some of his work is visible in several of the released screenshots.

BoBo's work is easy to see. They are the best looking characters in the game, duh!

There are quite a few screenies out, with BoBo's characters as well.

Monster (from what I've been told) did the bone skinning for our characters. I wasn't involved with any animation stuff, so I'm not 100% on that.

Congratulations! This must be very exciting for all of you.

Congrats! Must be cool to get your game work get pimped on tv. Doesn't really matter how good or bad the tv show is

Is poker such a polular game amongst a young crowd in the US that MTV wants to jump on the bandwagon?
That there is a console game made about cardgames doesn't suprise me since the only sport left to make a game about is probaly curling

/me sneaks off to sign an exclusive publishing deal with the World Curling Federation

There's a curling minigame in Warioware and one in Super Mario 64 DS.

Joshua Stubbles · Jul 2005

Oh! beaten to it :P

That's quite sad, really.

Its a great feeling to see your stuff in a professional game for the first time. Ask Vass, I went on and on about it the first time. I love the TV exposure.
