Dejobaan looking to branch out to other platforms, strongly prototyping Musorqua
AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! -- A Reckless Disregard for Gravity developer Dejobaan Games is looking to take a "derivative of Aaaaa" to other platforms. Studio founder Ichiro Lambe told us at DICE, "Over the course of 2010, we want to investigate branching out both to mobile, we're talking about iPhone and Android, and also Wii and Xbox development." One of those titles taking the multiplatform walkabout would likely be Musorqua, which Lambe describes as a game the studio is "very strongly prototyping." He explained, "If that works, that's the direction we're going to take if people are excited, if the press is excited about it, if it excites us. If not, we're going to tweak that a bit." He also said that they'll "definitely" be showing it off at PAX East next month.
'Aaaaa' creator announces music game, 'Musorqua'
Dejobaan Games, developer of AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! -- A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, has announced a new game with a somewhat less nonsensical title (and one that, should it ever be released in a physical format, would fit much more easily onto a CD case's spine: Musorqua. The game, built on Aaaaa(etc.) technology in its prototype form, evokes Rez, involving shooting at different items to create musical sounds. Each musical track is represented by objects of a certain color, and bonuses are awarded by "kissing" buildings of the same color by brushing against them. You can see footage of the prototype after the break. It's pretty abstract! No release date or platforms have been named, making even the idea of this as a playable product abstract. [Via Shacknews]
