I could probably just paraphrase or give a link to the Zorbit site, but instead I'm going to copy and paste:
So, even though it's probably quite premature, I've been wanting to make an announcement for a little while now. I was afraid to do so because I didn't want to put a time-frame on it and then not be able to deliver on that promise. I tried to hint at it in the last few posts, but in any case, consider this an official announcement.
After trying to work with a few different programmers (all of whom are still in contact and possibly interested in future work), Jeremie and I have decided to go ahead and work on a demo on our own, meaning I will be assuming programming responsibilities for the time being.
In fact, we did that a few weeks ago, and the demo is already coming along. We have Zorbit rolling around, shooting his ray-gun, jetpacking through the air, etc. There are even Globulons hopping around, KOPS chasing Zorbit. Mostly what's left to do is level design, which Jeremie and I have talked about and have begun to do.
One unfortunate hiccup is that Jeremie's hard drive died recently, so he's sorting that out at the moment. Just to give you all a little something to gnaw on, here are the first ever official (or non-official, for that matter) screenshots of Zorbit's Orbits.
(Click the images to see them full size.)
 They may not be the prettiest things you ever saw, but I can assure you that all the stuff going on in those pictures "works." Zorbit will look cleaner and probably bigger soon. Hopefully this demo will be out to you all sooner rather than later, but who knows. We're just going to take as much time as we need to to get this done and get it done right. Thank you, and have a wonderful evening. 0 comments so far
As you may have noticed if you've been clicking around on the site, not all of the links work yet. I'm working on it, alright?! Content should be coming in the next few days/weeks, basically whenever I get the time to do it. I'm especially excited to get that "Secrets" page up and running. Ooooh! What could it be?! 0 comments so far
Check it oooouuuutt. This is the home of Happy Rock Studios, the guys who are making that game that's not out yet (Zorbit's Orbits) and are generally always up to creative things.
I promised some announcements with the new site, but... we're actually not as ready to announce stuff as I thought. I'll give you a hint though. The Zorbit comic is not the only comic we're working on...
So let me sum up the current projects underway here at Happy Rock:
1. Zorbit's Orbits (duh)
2. Zorbit's Orbits comic (a one-issue, awesome-filled, mind-melting comic book, readable online and eventually for sale in pretty packaging)
3. Unannounced comic (on-going, awesome-filled, mind-melting comic book)
This new comic involves some new people as well... I will introduce them when the time is right. Not now, because they're in the bathroom. Well I don't know that for sure, really. I'm just making up excuses.
Expect information to creep out in the future... 1 comments so far
