Heeeeere's Johnny!

Very very excited now, because I am about to announce a brand new game from Summit Interactive! (ie. me :D)

Readers of this blog will no doubt remember my Australia Day post, where I let slip some information about my upcoming title.

No I can't wait. OK here goes... it's a futuristic fantasy/action hybrid where space trolls (not the Tolkien kind, more the doll kind with huge fluoro hair) from the planet Trompton invade Earth. You are Johnny Armeck, the one man who, with his party of merry men, have to travel to Trompton to put an end to the troll menace through a combination of puzzle-solving, action, and fashion-sense. I'm developing the game in Haskell, (but writing the fast code in Visual Basic) and it's using a special effect that makes 2D graphics look 3D, as seen in Duke Nukem 3D.

Well as discerning readers (eventually) figured out, that was supposed to be a joke. But that didn't deter me! Johnny Armeck is about to hit computer screens in his first adventure...

JOHNNY THE TROLL SLAYER

The official announcement and complete website are now online at the Summit Interactive website!

Please go and have a look! I've spent the past two days preparing all of the material for the website and am very excited to present all of the information, screenshots, concept art and music related to the game. Enjoy!
