NEK MINNIT : The Game!

AfterBurnett · February 2013

Hey guys, here's a quick WIP from my latest project. Believe it or not, I'm in the running for a game design job at Gameloft here in the NZ studio (fingers crossed), so if I get it I'll have to release all my future projects for free, so as to not be considered competition... so, free games for you, hopefully! LOL.

Not sure if I will use GS for this game, hence posting under non-GS games but if GS is running on the LUA-free version and I'm able to use arrays etc, I will probably go with GS, being my tool of choice for 2D

The game is a point and click adventure game, retro styled, of course

Cheers!

LOL. Here's hoping! If not, I'm back to uni to do a degree in computer science... wanna get my coding skills to a decent enough level to get a real job. Not that the GL job isn't real, just sick of being unemployed! LOL.

Braydon_SFX · February 2013

Cool! This looks neat. :-) best of luck!

AfterBurnett · February 2013

Thanks for the comments, guys

Not giving him a t-shirt... has to be true to the original Nek Minnit Youtube clip. Not sure how well known the clip is overseas but it went viral over here in New Zealand and in Aussie. The dude in the video is a friend of mine and asked if I'd be keen to make the game. Expect lots of funny voice acting

I'm sure they will. They approved McPixel, and there's a naked woman in that! LOL.

Yeah @POLYGAMe looks good all the best for the job.
Games jobs in Oceania are a rarity at the moment with many (big) studios closing.

Big difference, mate. Levi Hawken is a personal friend of mine. We're making the game together with him supplying the story, some of the voicework and additional art...

If you don't have permission to use people's likenesses, don't do it. It's as simple as that.

EDIT: BTW, Levi does own the rights to Nek Minnit, too.

Doguz · February 2013

That's great, but you never mentioned that earlier. Now we know. Wish you well.

Yes I did, see? :P
