Downplay Games: A beginning.

We are Downplay Games: A (very) small group of people springing into the competitive world of game making. So far we are 2 programmers with very little game programming experience and an artist.

We've been talking about seriously working on some stuff this summer, and we should have some definitive information on projects pretty soon. So far we're thinking:

-A Co-op platformer with physics based puzzles

-A top-down zombie maze game

-A western themed Hybrid action/adventure game with multiple game play elements.

So far, we've just talked about technology we'll be using, and the platforms we'll be developing for. We've run into some snags in development platforms (fees for development/deployment). 

I've been focusing on playing around with the UDK which is what I'll be focusing on. The UDK 2011 has a mobile SDK which works with iOS, so that would be a good springboard into mobile development.

Kyle is working on his zombie game (seen on Downplay Games Youtube), and thinking of making a simple puzzle game mobile app.

Tia will be focusing on providing art for our projects.

More information on projects coming soon.
