LATEST PROJECT

Alien Laser Bunnies

Not available for your os. Sorry!

Alien Laser Bunnies is a top-down multiplayer game of mimickry and camouflage with recursive meta-deceptions.

When the game starts, your aim as the player is to quickly figure which bunny you are controlling. Thereafter, outwit your opponent by blending in with other bunnies while hunting them down. When the time is right, blast them away with your GIANT LASER BEAM!

THE DECEPTION:

The regular earth-bunnies that inhabit the game playing field are not controlled by artificial intelligence systems as it would first seem. They are articles of a former self, movements of a player in a previous game.

A collaboration with Joe Williamson. Developed in ~15 hours, an entry in to the Wellcome Trust's "Deception" game jam as part of Extended Play Festival (2012).

LAUNCH: Meet the Games Press

Early Tuesday morning saw a number of Bristol-based game developers congregate outside the Games Hub in Stokes Croft. Force Of Habit, Auroch Digital, Large Visible Machine, Demon Apathy, Toxic Games, Geek Beach, Rice Digital, Infinite Playground, Red Panda Audio -- quite a crew.


We all attended LAUNCH: Meet the Games Press held at Birmingham Science Park Aston, and had a hell of a day. Opening the event was Jaspal Sohal from Creative England - who revealed their latest initiative called Games Lab - as well Jo Twist from UKIE, who thanked us all for coming and casually brought up doritosgate. Speakers included Will Freeman, Rich Eddy and Alex Wiltshire. Panelists included Rich Eddy, Natalie Griffith, Chris Theophilus-Bevis, Mike Bithell, Keith Stuart, Keith Andrew, Ed Wilson and Matt Kamen. Whew, did I miss anyone?
