Let's start at the beginning...the WAY beginning...

My brother and I recently premiered a documentary/comedy called "Super Ghosts 'n ... Ghosts?" which was shot, edited, animated, mixed, etc. entirely by us. The cost? $2,681 exactly! That covered everything from cameras, to location fees, to the computer equipment and editing software to the upcoming creation of the DVDs. Talk about stretching that dollar, it was almost clear when we were done with it!

The movie follows our decision to take up ghost hunting on whim. We've got no formal training and we don't know what the heck we're doing. We travel across the Eastern US to 6 locations looking for a sliver of evidence. We absolutely do not believe in ghosts, so we're basically out to prove ourselves wrong, if we can.

You can watch the entire movie, FOR FREE, on our website: www.superghostsnghosts.com

Now, our plan is, because we think we've made a pretty hilarious movie, to turn the movie not only into a weekly webseries, where we can invite others on and involve the audience on another level rather than comments before or after a show, but a kick ass videogame that makes fun of other movie-tie in games and brings the action down on you like a ton of bricks.

My brother has recently graduated Full Sail in Orlando, FL with a degree in videogame programming and he is taking the lead on the creation of the game.

THE GAME: "Super Ghosts 'n ... Ghosts?: The Movie Colon The Video Game!

The game is going to be fashioned after classic 2D side-scrolling action games such as Metal Slug, Contra, and Castlevania. Of course the game involves a lot more than capturing ghosts on camera. You play through seven intense levels as myself or my brother, or our ghost mascot, Prickley Pete. Using a deadly arsenal of machine guns and rocket launchers you must plow through ghosts, vampires, werewolves, robots, and mothmonstermen to take on the "Ghost Hunters" in the quest for television rating supremacy!

Features include:

- 7 Massive levels
- Over 30 different enemies
- 17 weapons from bats to crossbows to rocket launchers and everything in between
- Play as 6 different characters each with their own unique powers
- Earn experience and level up your character into a massive, beefy killing-type machine
- 2 Player Co-Op
- Achievements
- Intense, massive boss fights
- Classic 16-bit style with creative painting-like backgrounds
- Hilarious story featuring plenty of cameos and sub-par voice acting
- AND MUCH MORE!

The game will cost $5 on XBOX Live Arcade and would be ready to go by the end of this year, beginning of 2010.

The game is being handled by the independent game studio Odd Man Out Studios (www.oddmanoutstudios.net) which was created by my brother and his friends.

Here are some of his previous games he has made:

Here is an old video of a "Proof of Concept" which was basically a really rough version to see if we could actually do what we wanted. This in no way represents the final product!

THE WEBSERIES: "Super Ghosts 'n ... Ghosts? The Series

The webseries will involve us hucking it across the U.S. in search of some shred of evidence that ghosts exist. We'll put to the test all the crap that they throw at you on Ghost Hunter's and Ghost Adventures and bring you what it's really like to be a somewhat amateur ghost hunter! The best part is: we will never conform to reality show standards: no forced interviews, no jib or crane shots of the location, no flashing evil pictures or frightening music to scare the audience into being entertained.

Your donation will go to help fuel our quest to create a hilarious, kick ass videogame that you can download right to your XBOX and maybe your PC or iPhone!

Basically your money will be going toward more equipment, computer parts, licensing fees, XNA fees, publishing fees, production of physical disks, maintaining our web server and web space, etc.

If you would like more information about our ideas please do not hesitate to contact me at: joey@superghostsnghosts.com
