Presenting the LGP game development company   17 Mar 03 19:56
Michael Simms announced the eight winners of LGP's game development company intiative this evening. It's quite an impressive list: The eight will play "getting to know you" on a private mailing list this week, then meet in IRC next weekend to define goals for the project, discuss game ideas, choose a company name (a better one than "LGP game development company" please), and get other intial tasks out of the way.

Happypenguin.org will report on interesting stuff as it happens. Watch this space.

No, it won't be an FPS. They said they would try to create something new, not seen likely before.

Both First and Third person shooters are old hat.

Its time to Innovate!

The Second Person Shooter Genre has been undervalued and underrepresented in todays games market, and at the same time, the industry is showing signs of stagnation and collapsing under its own weight. Coincidence? I think not!

Its time to take a stand, and show the foolish world the power and magesty of linux and the distributed development model, what better way that the worlds first and best Second Person shooter?

And don't forget the ninja's

Please make a game with robots. I'm tired of Reality creeping into games, reminding me of this life.

Ninjas!

Ninja's are the magic X ingredient that will make this game a billion seller, and convert all the windows people to linux and the magic of the OSS movement.

Ignore ninja's at your peril!

Robotic Ninja's are allowable.
