Meets and greets. My name is quackgyver, and I'm one of the Tales of Game's boys and girls. I'm making a game called Buck & Miles along with my friend and fellow Togster toadstone, and some musicians like brentalfloss, Alexander Brandon, virt and cboyardee. I was told by a friend that SomethingAwful is the "place to be" where all the cool people hang out and that it's possibly the most important vidcon debate forum on the internet, so I wanted to show you our project.   About Buck & Miles is a platformer that takes the player through over 10 worlds and 100 different levels in either singleplayer- or simultaneous multiplayer mode. In addition to novel gimmicks like combining powerups and transforming into animals in order to reach new places, the game also revolves around its board game-like overworld map, where the player is able to play bonus games, chance events and discover quirky secrets.  The reason why we're making this game is because we felt that most retro-styled games don't really look and feel like titles from the '80s or '90s did beyond having pixelated graphics, so we've spent a lot of time picking apart our favorite classic game franchises in an attempt to understand what their designers were influenced by, and how they approached the whole design process. Based on this, we've tried to turn all these seemingly random and quirky design decisions into a process that we've used in the creation of Buck & Miles. This has in part manifested itself in the aesthetics and gameplay mechanics that you can see in the video, but also in the creation of other things like the kind of cheesy '80s and '90s promo material that was common back then. Our hopes are that players will feel like they did when they first played their favorite classic games. At best, we're hoping to be able to bring some of that magic back, and at worst we're hoping that people will at least think it's a fun game.

I'm digging the look on this, feels very much like SMW. Lots of retro games going around nowadays but this looks somewhat unique and can tell it's got some love going into it. Hope you get funded, would be a shame otherwise.

I've heard ToG is a pretty awful place to work. I'm glad you got out of there.

Will this game finally feature the TREND and CORPORATE ATTITUDE that has been so lacking from ToG games?

Strangely enough I can't pledge to this, my card gets rejected.

Jazz Jackrabbit is a piece of poo poo. Can you tell your composer that, tell him that Jazz Jackrabbit is a piece of poo poo? Tell virt too, I don't care. I'm sure he knows it. You all know it, but you need to say it out loud.
