Its time to reveal secrets. For the last week and a bit I’ve been down in Arizona working on a new version of Paper Moon for release on the free, web-based indie game portal Blurst.com.
New Paper Moon
Paper Moon is inspired by a fusion of pop-up books and Ella Fitzgerald’s classic song “Its Only a Paper Moon”. It was previously released as part of the Gamma3D art game show in Montreal last November 2008.
The new version of Paper Moon features a combo-based scoring system, new levels, improved visuals, musical score (by yours truly), sound effects, greater replay value and online leaderboards/achievements/bonuses.
Infinite Ammo – Flashbang Collaboration
The new Paper Moon is the result of a collaboration between myself and my friends at Flashbang studios. Down here in Tempe, AZ I’ve been focused on writing the score of the game, implementing new features and tweaking gameplay. Ben Ruiz (FB art director) has been busy creating brand new sexy art. Steve Swink (game designer, arts institute teacher) has been designing new levels, gameplay concepts and setting up the combo system for maximum re-playability. Shawn White is also in on the action helping us integrate the game with Blurst and finding bugs.
The resulting game is a mix of all of our styles, and I’m hoping fans of our previous work will see the influences from both sides.
The new version even got a notice in the Wallstreet Journal of all places! (and Rock Paper Shotgun)
You’ll be able to enjoy the fruits of our labors on Friday for free on Blurst.com.

I wish there was a downloadable version ;(

I meant a downloadable version that didn’t require 3d glasses

You should be able to toggle 3D mode off in the existing download version.

Awesome!
I never tried the first one since I thought you could only play with the glasses (which I don’t have any of). xD
Looking forward to this very much.
Also currently listening to the Songs for the Cure 09 albumn. Great work Alec (and the others, if they read this).

Enjoyed the first, can’t wait to try the new one out.
Not sure on the whole subscription aspect, but I’ll see how it goes. It’s free, in a way.

It’s a wonderful game, but on a revisit it claims that the Unity player could not be updated and won’t play it.
