Amibile Paladin. Mind Tour Studio's New Indie Game

Hey everyone,  Kadajett here to talk about something very special. I have been holding off, but I cannot anymore!

Mind Tour Studios and officially been created. We are a company that develops independent video games and tabletop games. As of right now, there are about five of us, working as close to full time as possible on our first game.

This game is a 2.5D rpg scroller, being built for XNA, PC, and for all you hardcore mother fuckers out there... DREAMCAST. 


It's code name for now is Amibile Paladin. You all know what a paladin is, but what amibile means will take a little explaining.

Amibile means beautiful, and not in the western supermodel meaning of the word. I use beautiful to represent complexity, complexity of the mind to be precise. Hint hint.

We would like to keep this project fairly secret, so I wont be posting any of the details, but know that the engine is already in development, we already have the design document almost finished and the artwork is being owned by our talented artists.

One thing I can show you, is our original sketches. They are fairly simplistic compared to what we have going on now, but it might give you an idea what the style of the game is.









As I have said before in earlier posts, we are making a Kickstarter Project after we get our first demo running. And what we are trying to do, is figure out what kind of gifts you guys would like IF you donated. Not saying you have to, just want to know what you might like.

One idea that we all have been passing around is a miniature version of the main character or one of the enemies made by our very own Maker Bot 3D Printing machine that we are going to use for our table top games. If you like that idea, or have a better idea, throw it in the comments. If its a good enough idea, maybe you will get it for free! When we make them obviously.

If you are a fan of indie games or RPG's, spread the word. The more publicity our Kickstarter gets, the faster  the game will be made. We will also be able to put more production value into it because we will be able to buy food and energy drinks throughout the process.

Thank you all for reading this post, like I said, spread the word. make Amibile Paladin a household name and we will be able to produce bigger and better games in the future!

Kadajett I am, and Play Free Nerdcore Rap I Will

Hello everyone! I have an interesting story to tell you! I am currently visiting my best friends parents with him, and we all really like board games. So they brought out this silly one called Quelf. Quelf is a game where you have to move around this circle and draw cards based on the color you land on. If you land on blue, you have to take a rule card. I did this on a few occasions, but one in particular made the game very hard. For the entire game I had to speak in third person. (Kadajett had to speak in third person..) Every time I said 'I', I would move back two spaces. And its not that I am an idiot and I cant talk in third person, but the game is really long and when people are saying things, you forget. Needless to say, I was in last place! Dammit!!! But I am confident in my current sober state I could own everybody!

 As a consequence of this game, I keep on getting the urge to write in third person. I have a feeling that you guys would hate that, so I am going to take a brief intermission. While I am practicing tongue twisters, I am gonna put this here.. Okay? Don't break it. Kadajett is serious.

Ok, that wasn't so hard. No more urge to talk in third person, but that was a really good song! Kind of had a fancy beat to it, it pulled my nerdy heartstrings. Would thou like to hear more? Keep listening, or Borthaniel will eat your soul.

We have a nerdy love song that Borthaniel approves of. But, I think I might cry after listening to it, and you guys don't want to see that. So I will let you go about your business hopefully continuing to browse of Life of Ramen.






KTHXBAI!!!

Two is Better Than One! ;)

Everyone plays video games alone. It is inevitable due to it's nature, but every once in a while, you just need to bro out! Get some pizza and some beer and find a game to play in Co-Op mode. Speaking of Co-Op, I have a new game to show you!



Co-Op is a two player shooter game, without shooting. A laser type of connection between your friends ship and yours is generated and you have to rack up as many points catching people in that laser as you can before your partner or you die in a fiery cookie involved crash. It looked like it would be a fun couple of hours, and guess what? It is free for Windows and Mac! So Check out this Youtube video and download the game for you and a friend to play.





And if you are interested in downloading it, here is the linky links!

Zombies and Beer! and chainsaws...

On a normal basis, when I am not doing homework or I am not in lecture, I am hanging out with my friends enjoying beer and some laughs. But after a short time, we need more then our sense of humor to entertain us. So my friend Glen comes to the rescue with this awesome board game called Last Night on Earth.

Last Night on Earth is obviously a zombie survival game, but you can do way more than kill zombies. The zombies act more like an opposing team to what you are trying to accomplish. There are a bunch of missions to choose from and a bunch of players each with their own attributes and benefits.

The most simple mission is to kill 15 zombies before two of your people die. It can be extremely hard, especially if you have a Rambo type on your team. Then of course, there are missions where you have to destroy certain buildings, last till sunrise, etc.

The game might not seem fun at first sight, but after you get the hang of it and introduce beer to the picture your friends start to act out whats happening as the zombies eat Billy. Definitely a good buy if you and your friends like board games or want to get into them.
