Game Dot Life, the retro game development MMO needs help!
Love retro games? Love arcade games? Want to make BOTH? Well Game Dot Life is the answer, but it needs help to be completed.
Ransom Binary / unFun Games, creators of things like First Star Online, Star Wars Platformer, Key Nine Online, Mario Paint Composer, and various other retro/online games is working on a game development kit built specifically for creating retro style games. It's called Game Dot Life, and it's also an MMO. You can open up a lobby and build games in real time with other people. Once a game is finished you can sell it online for virtual tokens to arcade owners. They put the machines in their virtual arcade and gamers can come in and play them. It will cater to not only new games but developers who want to remake the classics.
It's a big revolution in game development and distribution - and it needs help! Check out the page on kickstarter.com for information about it and to see some of it in action. Make sure you watch the video on parallax scrolling to see how easy it is to add lots of background layers to create 3D scrolling effects in just a couple of minutes.
