Angry Pixels Devteam Formed

Jacek Poplawski writes "Angry Pixels is a chosen name of Game Development Team which has been announced on Slashdot two weeks ago. We are currently searching for artists and going to make Best Game in the World, which will be available for Linux, Win32 and Mac OS X."

and going to make Best Game in the World

[Sevn]

Starring Tanto, Frankenstein, and Tarzan from
the hit TV show "As World Turn".

Um...

[DreadSpoon]

I'm thinking perhaps we made a mistake releasing this bit on April 1st... ;-) (Gods I hate this "holiday")

Angry Pixels - Rock Band?

[gadwale]

What a great name for a rock band..

Dave Barry probably wishes he had come up with this one!

On the other hand... most people would probably mistake them for the Angry Pixies.

-Adi.

[Bill Kendrick]

It's actually a shortening of an anagram we came up with. ;^)

Re:Angry Pixels - Rock Band?

[AndrewNelson]

Personally, I liked the full anagram better ;-)

2 Wrongs

[Loosewire]

I may be a karma whore but you guys are april fools day whores!!

A real april fool joke has to involve petrol bombs , electrocution and bear traps, *shakes head* the youth of today....

This is not the greatest game in the world...

[Anonymous Coward]

This is just a tribute.

Searching for New Artists?

[jxa00++]

I think they should focus on searching for a new name!

website is a little tight

[zelphi]

I hope one of the first things the designers do is to get rid of the "topmargin=0 leftmargin=0" html on http://www.angry-pixels.com/.

And what's with the green text?

The best game in the world??

[The Zody]

WHAT?!?!? they are making a Starcraft/Slashdot hybrid game? for timmothy!

Re:The best game in the world??

[weeboo0104]

Unfortunately, there is no way to win the game.

Every time the Terrans submit commands to their forces, Cowboy Zerg and Commander Protoss never bother to post them.

Please don't nuke my karma. ;)

Pickey marketing

[cgenman]

Don't be out to make the "best game in the world," that is an amorphous target that will always move, and will never be achieveable in the time you have alotted.

Instead, try to make the best-selling game in the world, preferably within the constraints of your budget.

Is it an Engine or a Game?

[L7_]

Is the company focused on developing a cross-platform engine (with a complete scripting language) and then using an instance of that engine to create The Best Game in the World? Or are they just going to code up the game itself (with minimal re-usability)?

People that don't read old articles would like to know. ;)

Re:Is it an Engine or a Game?

[sbaker]

The end product is definitely a game.

There may be 'engine' technology produced along the way - and that may be re-used for the next game and the one after that. There is definitely a desire to push as much of the work out into OpenSource as is reasonable - but remember that this IS a commercial activity and money has to be made at some point. It's far to early in the dev cycle to know what spin-off technologies may make it out to OpenSource.

Best game?

[MrLint]

Well as long as its not Daikatana.
