    So, what exactly is Aquarica?

  3. Brain said about 2 hours later:

    Hot damn I cannot wait for Mr. Robot! And War Angels for that matter, well done Moonpod!

  4. Tim W. said about 3 hours later:

    Aquarica is Derek’s latest project. Oh wait.

  5. Lorne Whiting said about 5 hours later:

    That’s a month old Developer Diary, Tim.

    Also, assuming from that last post, you have no idea what Aquarica is, huh?

    (sigh)

  7. Lorne Whiting said about 5 hours later:

    Research has been done!

    The pictures are from a game concept by White Bird Productions. http://www.whitebirdsproductions.com/siteang/index-actualite.html

    Great trailer that!

    Also any chance we can close comments on the X Operations post? It’s getting gigaspammed by drug sales bots. Shows up in the RSS dontyerknow

    Yeah, that’s last month’s diary. New one has just gone up this second here:

    Should have mentioned on the indiegamer forums that the video was only for testing purposes - I didn’t expect anyone would link to it :) Your thirst for news is insatiable!!!

    Proper link is now up: http://www.moonpod.com/mrrobot

    Which should work in a few other browsers.

    Btw - thanks for all the coverage of Mr. Robot all these years. We were working on Mr. Robot when Tigsource first started, it’ll be a happy moment for me when I see the Mr. Robot is finished post on here :)

    Good gravy I loved the trailer when I saw it on Indiegamer Forums and it’s great that there’s a high-res version too. The game really does look like fantastic blend of genres - although I’m praying like mad that the RPG stuff isn’t its achille heel for me because it’s been a while since I enjoyed turn-based RPGs.

    Disabled comments for X Operations and deleted all 200 spam messages.

    Any more?

    graphics look awesome. is this game mainly a puzzle solver?

  13. Teeth said 1 day later:

    Think that’s it Tim, nice one :)

    Fost, loving the achievements medals. XBLA ready :) I hope to see it on the 360 one day!

    @negative zero: Hmm, it’s really hard to describe what happens in the game, which is a bit of a problem for us. At the end of the video there are glimpses of ‘ghost hack’ which is like a ‘classical’ rpg - you power up your robot’s virtual presence in the computer networks, and have to hack various terminals that are defended by enemy programs. It’s a huge part of the game and is balanced against what happens in the ‘real’ world - which is a combination of platform action, adventuring and puzzle solving. We’ve tried to put a bit of everything in the demo, so hopefully it will be enough for people to make up their minds.

    @Teeth: yeah, we’d love to get on live arcade, but I’m not sure we have the resources to do it. I really would love to spend some time and do that properly - because the way the editor works, I think we could make it pad-driven. Imagine an XBLA game where you can crate your own levels and share the content - I think that would rock. Pretty sure that unless a huge crate of cash lands on us from somewhere our main focus will be PC-only for the next few years though.

  15. Tim W. said 1 day later:

    Teeth: thanks for the info. :)

  16. XiV said 2 days later:

    I’m surprised at the lack of comments regarding Benoit Sokal.

  17. BMcC said 3 days later:

    Fost! I wanted to tell you you rock and that Mr. Robot will in all likelihood rock as well, but I kept getting server errors.

    You rock, and in all likelihood Mr. Robot will rock as well! Keep up the good work.

    ALSO: I think Derek ripped off this place downtown. They call it the “Aquarium” and it’s all filled with fish and everything.

  18. Fost said 4 days later:

    Thanks BMcC!

    I think Derek is secretly the world’s greatest fan of Scandinavian pop sensation ‘Aqua’, and Aquaria is his homage to sexy front-woman Lene Nystrøm

    who can blame him…
