new game: pigeon power
today marks a milestone in let-off studios history: the release of our first-ever collaborative video game.
pigeon power was advertised quite some time ago as a 2010 release, but only now has it been completed (that is, it’s months overdue). to make a long story short, our editor celebrates his birthday during february, and he wanted to celebrate by creating a video game project with contributions from all of his party guests. people arrived with their potluck dishes and spent time making audio recordings, colouring pictures, and drawing original artwork.
the rest of that weekend and the following week, steve (our editor) cobbled together all the materials and sound effects, and came up with the bare bones to a video game. although his goal was to finish the game by the end of the month, other projects and obligations had the upper hand, and pigeon power was set off to the side…but not any more!
the initial release of pigeon power is now ready for the public. here’s a description:
join esther the pigeon on a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement, and adventure! Esther goes where no pigeon has gone before in an effort to fulfill her destiny!
you can download pigeon power here. the game is designed to be played on windows machines, but will work on mac and *nix machines using a windows emulator.
below are some screen shots from the game. features include:
- completely hand-drawn, scanned artwork.
- entirely original sound effects and background music.
- five levels of platform action and adventure.
- features “real life” baltimore locations.
- a light-hearted storyline and narration keeps players oriented on the next objective.
- suitable for all ages!
