What We're All About

While building the game is important, it is also important to let you know what we at Low Orbit Games are about. Our goal is to give you at least one great game in the following year, which may not seem impressive, but we're striving for it. So, what makes a great game to us? Right now we are looking at story, game play, and immersion as primary aspects in a good game. Whether it be a good book or movie, almost everything has story. It suits those of us who enjoy lore, who want to understand why everything is happening. Game play, of course, is essential. We want a fun world, not ruled just by story, but a world where you have challenges ahead and obstacles to face. Finally, and perhaps the hardest for us to achieve, will be immersion- a relationship to the character and a feeling of being part of the game. This is the type of game we want you to join us in playing later this year.

Our current focus in the game is game play and mechanics. We want to make the game fully playable by the end of summer, but we also want to be precise when making adjustments or mechanics, after all, we don't want you to fall through the world after a boss fight! Graphics, sound, and story will all come later, once the game is solidified.

We plan for the game to be available both as a downloadable .jar file and online, we did find a way to play the game as an applet. That is it for this week. Check back next week for more exciting details!
