Hi I'm Eve Park the Girl With the Blue Hair, owner and founder of 1-Pup Games
I have over eight years experience in the casual game industry, as artist, QA,
producer, developer
sales and marketing and distribution. This is one of the games I made with Lifetime.
(hostile makeover)
But January first of this year I decided to wear all those hats at once
and launched my very own company: 1-Pup.
i'm proud to announce the prototype for 1-Pup's first game, Pingo. Pingo is a
simple but addictive puzzle game, like Tetris or Bejeweled. If you're familiar with
poker and bingo
you already know how to play Pingo. most gameplay modes are played with a
standard fifty-two card deck
but in the deck skin shown here, I've changed the colors around a little bit to be more
easily identifiable. The prototype ships with two gameplay modes: 'Casual'
which gives you time to figure out
/the/ best way to play every single card...
and 'Speed Mode', with three different settings, that reward you with score multipliers
for playing quickly. I developed Pingo with the unity engine,
so it could be cross-platform. And I already know that plays well with the
mouse. But it was designed from the ground up
for the Ouya. I know it's just a simple puzzle game, but i really aspire for Pingo
to be for the Ouya
as Lumines was for the PSP. I've put a lot of work into this prototype, but
there's still a lot to do before it's luanch with the Ouya in March.
Graphically, I still have some placeholder art.
But for the final, I'd also like to add additional decks and skins.
including one that's reminiscent of traditional playing cards and another
and another deck that's a stylized version of the penguin characters, complete with little
animations, and maybe little dances when you score. I also have lots of ideas for
variations on the basic gameplay, such as a quest mode and a survival mode.
the final will also include a number of trophies and achievements as well as
some kind of high score the accord system. The features that I end up
including in the final version had a lot to do with the reception of this video
and the prototype
so please send your feedback
to eve@1-pup.com so i can make Pingo the best game that it can
be. Show your support that telling your friends and sharing this video.
Show me that this is worth several
full-time, unpaid, months of my life. Your response is critical to help me decide
which features and platforms to include. And if i win the prize money, from the Ouya
create contest, I can afford to make this game so much cooler!
Such as multi-player? It would be sort of a 'Poker-Words With Friends'.
Thanks for watching.
