Although we mostly work on videogame projects for our developer and publisher clients - we've had fifteen of these just this year alone! - we also like to try and get a few of our own projects into production on the side. And with that in mind, it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to our new arcade game Scramble All Fighters!
It's Missile Command meets Battlestar Galactica - check out this new teaser video!
The game is particularly remarkable for bringing back an AI design that I originally prototyped with my friend and colleague Neil Bundy nearly twenty years ago. The system, known as PsiScape, appears in a simplified form here, but we hope to develop it more fully and use it as the basis for Haunters, Inc (our Ghost Master spiritual successor) if and when we can get the funding for that project.
And speaking of Ghost Master...
Origins of Ghost Master, Part One
Over at ihobo.com, you can read the first of a three-part special series exploring the origins of each and every haunter in our classic haunting sim! It's all part of our celebration of twenty years of this incredible game.
New from Tale of Tales
Meanwhile, our friends over at Tale of Tales have a new VR to download, called The Viriditas Chapel of Perpetual Adoration! Definitely worth your time if you're kitted out for VR, as nothing that Tale of Tales does is anything less than extraordinary. (Although I note, they are not calling it a game... although I would, because I have a very broad church - pun intended! - for such things.)
Wishing you all a happy Samhain/All Hallows Eve!
