From Pixel Apocalypse...
"Today on my travels, I discovered one of the most jaw dropping, bongo thumping, and head bobbing games ever created.
It is known…. as IGNEOUS."
DIYgamer continues their interviews with the 10 different IGF Student Showcase Winners.
This time up they talk to the team behind Igneous, who show good humor and hard work in the action-packed title that follows a tiki totem as it escapes from an exploding volcano.
Read all about what it took to bring this ambitious project to the light of day.
This week Nick and Erika are joined by Ben Gable and Will Graham, some of the developers of the game, Igneous. They talk about the Game of the Decade feature, Demon's Souls, Bayonetta, the videogame recession, as well as the making of Igneous.
DIYgamer.com writes: "Do you remember those levels in games like Crash Bandicoot where the whole purpose was to run away from something, like a giant, tumbling boulder? That's pretty much what Igneous is like but mixed in with some acrobatics and seriously fast gameplay. You play as a sort of tiki whose job it is to stop another tiki from destroying the world - I think. In order to do this you must out run a wall of lava, crumbling bridges, and even laser eyes. It's fast, it's furious… and it's all over in about 20 minutes."
