The Other Brothers

Welcome to the start of something awesome!

How about a renegade team of industry professionals with the crazy idea of throwing AAA graphics to the curb, and over the top budgets to create something downright fun just like the early pioneers in our industry, all the while blogging about it?

Hehe … its good to see that alot of people still believe in good game play over next gen graphics. Im from the days of intellivision and atari. Games were so unique once upon a time.

@Willc - Yeah those were the good days. I still remember the sound of my C64 data tape recorder/player. Loading a game to play was an experience in itself. Loved those Atari/Commodore64 days and I am happy I was around when all that happened.

^^^ always think it’s a thread lock :stuck_out_tongue:

And I’m assuming you don’t want to give away the twist yet?

Locked! :wink: Well you will have to show a bit more patience and visit our blog for future updates. There are going to be a lot of neat things about this game and I hope you will enjoy it as much as we like creating it.

Liking the art so far…

I always like the idea of taking an older game with older graphics and re-doing them using new graphics, but keeping all the original game play.

The problem as I see it these days, is they re-do the graphics, but they also change all the gameplay, which takes away from how you remember it.

Ohhhhhhhhh look at that we are on Kotaku!!

This looks amazing!

Grats on the feature too, how’d you get that sort of action going??

Great art style. Nice to see see some originality croppign up!

@marcos - Thanks man! Don’t know… make something pretty and people will notice? :wink:

@Fishman92 - Thanks as well!!

haha I’m trying!

Toucharcade posted about you guys too :smile:

congrats, this looks awesome.

Looks great so far :slight_smile:

Hey again guys,

Thanks all! Yeah the word spread around really quickly. We are now on Kotaku, Toucharcade, HandheldArcade and many others! We are a bit overwhelmed to be honest :slight_smile: Didn’t expect that sort of response. Also, you can now “Like” us on Facebook (or hate us… whatever you choose!)

I love the art style, keep it up:)

Thanks nomnomnomplant (what a funky name) :wink:

Just wanted to let folks know that we now have a dedicated website with all the bells and whistles…and back to painting some more pixels…

I also thought about this, i thought about going back to the way psone looked or even PS2 and focus on gameplay etc… its good to know my idea isn’t so farfetched lol i love the design so far keep t it

I think our look is more related to the old days C64/Amiga and NES … or a strange mix of all of these. Pixel art nowadays is different due to the fact that our color palette is far bigger for instance. Anyways, glad you like it. Make sure to subscribe for updates!

I’ve been wanting to do a pixel art game for a few years now, but I’m hoping this gets released before I get round to it, as I feel I’d rather PLAY this than make my own retro game. It is that exciting-looking. Come on Thomas forget tv, forget food, just finish this. I need.

It’s definately got a touch of amiga in there some where!
