Game Drops Tomorrow!

One of the characters from WD

What’s up everyone?

So if you’ve been following this blog you might remember a few posts back that we’re “this close” to dropping our first game (and if you haven’t been following then you’re one of MANY). The free flash tower defense game is still in Beta right now, but at some point tomorrow everything will be good to go.

As this is my first ever video game script you can probably tell that I’m pretty nervous about the release. The story that I can tell about the game without falling into NDA territory is that the game was essentially conceptualized before I was given the riegns.

The mechanics, the idea and most of the art and animation was either complete or in progress by the time I was brought in by Vancouver game comapny Big Park. For some of you who know me personally you’ll recall my many MANY trips out to UBC – well that’s where the studio lives.

When this hits tomorrow I’ll be going into a lot more detail but just to get a few people excited I’ll let you in on a little secret. I was tasked to come up with naming all of the levels and characters in the game and I thought, “Jesus, why come up with something original when I’ve got friends with some pretty interesting names already?”

So – Kana, Taj, Goran, you might recognize a few things when you’re playing.

Like I said before, I’ll drop tons more info as the days go on… And probably a link so people can actually go play it.
