We're aiming for September 2013 for release. We're also going to make it a side scroller in the vein of "Another World/Out of the World" to allow for some deeper exploration. It'll be a bit of a reboot, telling a new story with the same nameless hero but with improved graphics, bigger story and hours of gameplay. We're hoping to kickstart $30K to create all new, beefed up "A Small Favor" game. So we decided to follow in the tradition of a million other game developers and turn to Kickstarter for support.
I've always felt like the Small Favor universe was ripe for storytelling and I barely scratched the surface of some of the ideas presented in the old game. So check it out!Īfter four years the alien assassin is back! After releasing The Ballads of Reemus last year, we were hungry to take another one of my old games and create a beefier commercial version of it. I've also created a bunch of rewards that allows you to add your own stamp on the game, with inventory items, character names and even having a ballad of your own. I'm going to give it the treatment it deserves.
I'm going to take the ideas from the free games, revamp and polish them with new puzzles, new artwork and full voice acting. I've been thinking about it for years now and since the odds are low I'll ever finish it in free form, I decided to take a commercial run at rebooting the storyline. Yes, I'm returning Reemus to his roots and finally going to finish the Death Slug storyline. Now the only question remains, will Reemus and his sidekick Liam defeat the insidious Death Slugs, or will they be the ones exterminated? When Reemus the Exterminator’s main competitor Pest-Go reduces pest control to a skill anyone can do with a squirt bottle, Reemus fears his chances of having a truly heroic ballad written about him are over.That is until he stumbles upon an invasion of killer Death Slugs that has all the makings of the greatest quest of all time, one that can not only restore extermination to its former glory but finally put Reemus on the map as a true hero. If you didn't get a chance to play the first one, you can try the demo right here at NG: "The Ballads of Reemus 2" Kickstarter campaign officially went live today! You can check it out here: Kickstarter has officially launched in Canada, which means I'm officially launching a Canadian Kickstarter and who better to launch with than Reemus and Liam. This video is a sample scene we shot last week. If you like early 90's action movies and goofy comedy then check it out. The deeper he goes the more he uncovers about the Illuminati, drug cartels and a bevy of other conspiracy theory craziness.
So he goes on a mission of revenge against city corruption by kicking the shit out of all involved. What's it about? A 52 year old security guard gets screwed out of his pension when they privatize the city sewage treatment plant he works at. Blarg, It's a convulted system so I appreciate anyone who even takes the time to watch it. There's also a little SHARE icon to post on twitter and facebook which also requires you create an account and login.
If you like it, click the FOLLOW, RATE and FAV icons. We'll see what happens, but in the meantime you can check out our new show idea in the video below.
At the end of the month it chops down to 55, then 15 and then final 5 in December. So far we made the first round of cuts and are in the top 110. Each week is a new challenge designed to show if you can actually pull off your idea, which people vote on and the most popular make the cut. The premise is you enter your show idea and 10 weeks later they pick one winner and a pilot gets made. So when the CBC launched a Comedy Coup accelerator program to find new shows I decided to take a run at it. Canada is a bit of a black hole for TV, it takes years to get anything through the pipeline. It's been almost 10 years since my old show "Sons of Butcher" was on the air.
I have a new artist on board helping me craft it, so it should be pretty sweet!Īs if video game dev isn't hard and time consuming enough I've also decided to take a crack at the TV world again. It's been a while! I've been locked away for the last year tinkering away at a new Ballads of Reemus point and click sequel that hopefully will be done soon.
