We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Part 6: The Post-Nintendo Years - from the Exclusive Howard & Know-It-All Comic by Matthew Taranto!

Update #11 · Oct 16, 2012 · 5 comments

This is a low-rez version of the Sixth of six comics Matthew is creating for the Know-It-All Kickstarter. At certain backer levels we will be giving away exclusive high-quality prints of these including some signed and numbered by the artist himself along with Gamemaster Howard.

This 6-part series tells the story of how and why I went from being Nintendo shipping manager to Gamemaster to creator of Know-It-All.

      Wow. I can already tell that this game will fulfill what almost every other educational game couldn't do. Be fun and get the logic! Barely do I know anything and I can see it's shining future.

      I am excited to be following this project. A long time friend of mine Art Johnson and I have been bouncing education game ideas around for years. It is great to see someone from the gaming industry actually trying to do it!

      ^ Agreed! Check out the rest of Matthew Taranto's stuff at http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/ It's one of my favorite webcomics to read and hey, wouldn't you know it, it's all about Nintendo stuff!

      Oh, Bill... You shouldn't brush off your old buddy like that. :( Now, if only "Know-It-All" could teach those ignorant fools to see past their obstinate notion that games are only toys... *sigh*
