Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more…
One day, not too long ago, Flanders and I were working on [Dimensional]. As we were bashing away, we were struck with an idea for yet another new game! We are very excited about this. We are more excited for this than we were for [Dimensional], during its beginning! Before I break down our new plan, let me give you some back-story.
As some of you may know, I have an old arcade cabinet that I basically rescued from the clutches of obsolescence. There are pictures “after the jump” as they say. But the important thing to note is that I have recently upgraded this machine (formally dedicated DigDug) into a 2 player machine that I can use to execute whatever I like, even unsigned code. Starting to get the picture?
GCSA has created websites, games for PC’s and Nintendo’s Wii, short films, music, posters, etc. With our love for nostalgia, it was only a matter of time before we created content for a medium that effectively died out in the late 90’s: arcade machines!
I am announcing, here and now, that the next GCSA game will be a 2 player fighting game for arcade cabinets. Once completed, and only once completed, the game will be ported to PC and possibly to the Wii. The product is in development now, and hopefully we will have a working beta running on my system in the next couple of weeks. Right now, progress is being hampered by Flanders and Miller not providing me with requested in-game images. Please direct all relevant messages to their respective inbox. Below are the pictures I mentioned.
