Brian Mitsoda announces DoubleBear, Zombie RPG

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIINNNSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

 

Wow, zombies and TB tactical combat.

This guys put the "awe" in Awesome.

Hope it turns out good.

 

I just see text but where are pix? I am dumb and need visual input.

 

I'm no fan of zombie stuff in general, but this could be fairly interesting. There are way too few decent turn-based RPGs around, we need more

 

sounds promising! very promising actually...

 

Looks promising. I believe they will pull it off.

 

As long as they don't make it combat heavy (against Zombies anyway) then, sure, I'll bite.



Get it? Bite. *clears throat*

 

^^^^^^^ (knee slap)

Shambling to retail shelves near you ?

 

Way to go announcing a game without a single screenshot to back it up.

 

It is more of an announcement of the founding (of the studio DoubleBear). The details about their game in production were nagged out of them after the news spread by word of mouth. There isn't an official announcement yet. (You can think of this as a Fifa 2011 announcement for comparison )

 

...It doesn't rain in Seattle! At least, not for the past 4 months.

-At any rate, I'm intrigued by this announcement.

 

It's kind of sad that it needed to be said.

But it did need to be said.

 

Come on guys! I hope you can be this lvl 60 undead Bloodmage, who flies, has over 9000 spells, can kill humans with some kind of magical assisted targeting system and infects them with some magic potion.

Seriously though, I hope this will be good, with classical zombies à la George Romero or Max Brooks. And no monthly fee, please.

 

Pretty sure this is not an online game, so that shouldn't be a concern.

Very interesting news. I for one am definitely rooting for this studio.

 

Iron Tower? That's the "Age of Decadence" game, right?

Looks like a good game engine, but I'm basing that entirely on those screenshots! I've been hearing about this game for years but as far as I know there isn't even a demo yet? If there is I'd like to check it out!

Looks like an updated Fallout (clearly inspired by Fallout, how could you imply this isn't in your area of interest!?) and it seems like they have a good design philosophy. At this point I'm just worried that the game engine will be obsolete by the time they release it.

As far as the announcement by DoubleBear, I'd normally be concerned that neither of them is a programmer (they both have design background only, right?) but seeing as how they are using a third party game engine I guess that may not be a factor. So, I'll wish them luck! I'd really love it if somebody (anybody) could make a game that didn't leave me mumbling to myself about "potential" and "if only". I don't recall having those thoughts an hour or two into playing the top-flight games of the (distant!?) past.

But who am I fooling? I'll buy it no matter what. If I can spend $40 bucks on East India Trading Company and give up on it after an hour just because I was too lazy to download the demo, I'll pretty much fall for anything.

 

Best gaming news ever since Obsidian getting chance at new Fallout.

 

Sounds a lot like Fallout in a PA Zombie setting so it could be good. No offense to Iron Tower but DoubleBear using their engine doesn't really inspire me in any way.

Neither do you or anyone else, there is no data on it. I didn't really read the whole interview but she doesn't seem to have much experience at all which is hardly inspiring.

We'll see, the game sounds conceptually good but that's always the easy part. As they say, the proof is in the puddin'.

 

Seems like someone is making THE one game I've always wanted to play !!!



Great news. Can't wait for it !
