Yesterday I announced my intention to produce one game each month during the summer. I thought I’d follow that up with some details on my first project. Since I’m still trying to find my pace I thought I’d start with a simpler idea, and what could be simpler than borrowing from a game with 375,000 licensed players? As I’m sure you’ve already guessed my first game is inspired by the ancient Gaulish game of pétanque.
I’m going to call the game “Petunk” which roughly translates to “a sound which is sorta like the word “pétanque”". Hopefully the rough sound of the word will evoke the game as well as highlight the fact that this is a physics based simulation. The gameplay is going to be something like the original pétanque except that there will be explosions, moving obstacles, and other doodads getting in your way. I’d also like to add some additional options so the player has choices beyond where to aim at the target.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to sharing more about Petunk with you. Check back soon, or better yet subscribe for updates!
