As we all know, Blip Festival 2009 is almost upon us.
At the festival, the handsome frontman from Robotube Games is going to be collaborating with the totally sexy Gaijin boys on a little experimental Blip Festival inspired video game project. Here are the rules:
- Try to make a game in one day while at Blip Festival 2009
- Drink lots of coffee
- Release the end product to the public, even if we fail miserably
You shall live the results.
And for marketing purposes, we’re calling this fantastic event the BATTLE OF THE BRANDS! Even though we’re collaborating, not battling! And even though we may not even use our existing “brands”. It just sounds so cool. And you know what? We can do whatever we want! It’s our freakin’ deal, so shut up if you feel like it!
We’ll each be updating our sties, blogs, twitters, facebookz, etc.
In the spirit of being indie, we’re flying this plane by the seat of our pants!
Continue rocking on. Over and out.
This will, perhaps, be the best thing ever!
Are you guys going to actually be doing this at the actual show? If so, which day will it be on?
Any plans on how the game will be released?
I DO WANT be there to see you live-working, but I can’t.
So I’ll go headshot myself. Now.
Whoa, Il Giuda, simmer down amigo.
So basically you’re saying, crunch time is so much fun you want to do it even when you’re not in the office. I totally get it.
Totally.
Seriously? I live, like, a couple hours from your home offices; but this has to be all the way in New York!
How inconvenient…
@thesimplicty We’re not sure what the show’s setup is going to be like yet, but yeah we’d love to do it at the venue. We’ll let you know the day soon!
@San Diegan Yeah, it’s a bit out of the way for us too
Perhaps we’ll meet at a show in SF sometime?
BATTLE OF THE SQUARE HEADS!
Must get on PSN! I’m dying here!
And yes, I would LOVE to see you guys do this live. That would make December complete.
i managed to pump out a really good 5 minute song in 1 day but making a whole game?? wow this i gotta see
Stream it on Ustream!
so do you guys have a general idea for what you will be making or is this going to enter it completely unprepared?
@ Phil - I’ve got some very vague ideas in my brainz, but mostly, we’re going in completely under prepared. YEAH!!!
You’re making it REALLY hard for me not to go to Blip Fest this year…. But the dollars….
The dollars are hard to find! They hide them!
Hey Alex Neuse i want to know the game ideas, and if “fail miserably”
will it be free, and is the game you are going to make a WiiWare game
