BLUE BELL,PA--This past weekend, CipherPrime Studios had their grand re-opening after remodeling their studio. Because of this occasion, a bunch of independent game designers were invited to show their recent creations and were able to share how they developed their ideas into full blown games and how things are done in small companies like these.
Zenas Bellace is one of the programmers over at QuadraTronGames. The game he was displaying is called “Monsters!” It’s available on desura.com for all computer platforms for $4.99. “I wanted to make a game with a simple idea, a cool concept, and make an easy to learn game of it”. The game was originally inspired by the arcade game “Robotron: 2084” where the player has two joysticks, one that controls the player’s movement and the other determines the direction of firing his weapon, where the goal is to rescue the last surviving human family while destroying an infinite amount of waves of robots.
Also, an award winning indie developer, Greg Lobanov of Dumbandfat.com and his game called “Coin Crypt” were being displayed, along with his award winning game “Perfection”. Both games are available on PC and Mac on Steam Early Access for $5 and “Coin Crypt” is still in its development stage. “My friend wondered what a game would be like to have jelly beans be currency and the items and the weapons. I took that idea and changed it to coins, making it ‘Coin Crypt’.”
