The Joystiq Indie Pitch: Pocket Fleet
Indie developers are the starving artists of the video-game world, often brilliant and innovative, but also misunderstood, underfunded and more prone to writing free-form poetry on their LiveJournals. We believe they deserve a wider audience with the Joystiq Indie Pitch: This week, Tolga Ozuygur of Overdose Caffeine talks massive online mobile battles with Pocket Fleet, out for iOS, Android and browsers. What's your game called and what's it about?It's called Pocket Fleet. It is a real-time multiplayer online battle game designed for mobile that takes place in an intergalactic conflict between three races. And it's free-to-play.What's the coolest aspect of Pocket Fleet?It is very hard to define that, because I think the coolest thing about this game is a weird feeling. It's something like, when you first enter the game without much expectation, you launch from your mother ship and find yourself in a battlefield filled with mad players tearing each other apart with a plethora of high-tech weaponry in outer space. Just at that split second before you get hit by a positron missile and blow up for the first time, you pause and say to yourself, "What the hell am I doing here?"In my opinion, that specific feeling is the coolest thing about this game.
