Hey Backers!

We've relaunched another Kickstarter Page for "Zoop To The Future!" If you are interested in re-pledging, here's the link:

Also, exciting news! On July 7th we will be revealing the first snippets of gameplay footage exclusively for backers. It will show off the new HUD, some crazy dialogue, some weird inventory items, and plenty of laughs...or something.

Zoop!

Prickley Pete, Joey, and Danny

Here is Prickley Pete wearing his "armor" that players will need to find. Once they have all the necessary individual items they'll have to put them together to form the ultimate battle armor...sort of. I know you can't see it but, Prickley Pete will be able to shoot electricity from one of his stubby arms.

Yes, that's right, "Zoop To The Future!" is coming to a Mac and touchy-feely iPad near you! Now you can touch Prickley Pete on the go!

Unfortunately, we are no longer developing "Zoop To The Future!" for XBOX Live Indie Games. The current limit for games on the Indie Channel is 150MB, and the game is shaping up to be over 1.5GB!

Maybe in the future we will be able to bring it to the XBOX 360, but for right now, our target platform will be PC (XP, Vista, Windows 7) and possibly in the future, the Windows 7 Phone operating system.

Zoop!

I've also included a bigger version so you can see more detail here: http://www.twitpic.com/1j5djd/full

Here is the old and new Spikey Sara:

Now that the first season of "The Somewhat Comical Adventures of Prickley Pete!" has come to a close, I thought it was time to start redesigning the two human main characters (Prickley Pete will never change!) for "Zoop To The Future!". The show kept evolving animation wise, getting more and more detailed, so it is only fitting that the characters make that sort of jump for the game.

We have just completed our first document for "Zoop To The Future!". We like to call it "Plot Points" which is a collection every puzzle (with solution), character, item, location, and time period in the game as well as a bunch of hilarious dialogue. So far its over 170 pages and as we start the "Puzzle Document" which lists all the puzzles and the correct way to solve all of them, I'm sure it will grow even more.

We're confident in saying that "Zoop To The Future!" is definitely going to be worth the eventual price tag ($3 - $5).

We will have more info and some new character sheets and maybe even some backgrounds coming in the next couple of weeks.

Rawr.

Yes, he signed the Declaration of Independence. Yes, it was just a big stubby mark!

Here we've got one of our first characters: Prickley Plato. He's Prickley Pete's ancient Greek relative, note the toasty, olive tan.

Yes! Zoop To The Future! is finally beginning! We've already started writing the puzzles, fleshing out all the plot points, coming up with awesome time periods to travel to, and of course, all the wacky characters you'll interact with. We'll post photos soon of our crazy whiteboard filled with text.

Prickley Pete is getting himself into one ridiculous adventure, we hope the finished game can reach the true potential that we've got in our heads!

Zoop!

Joey, Danny, and Prickley Pete

With the announcement of new support for cross-platform play across PC, XBOX 360, and phones supporting the new Windows 7 OS, we are excited to announce that "Zoop To The Future!" will now take advantage of this new technology. Now you can start playing on your PC, continue it on your XBOX 360 and finish on your Windows 7 Phone!

We're excited to start implementing this cross functionality and testing it on the go. (The Zune HD version will still be supported.)

New rewards have been added to the $10 and up categories. We've got a brand new "Zoop To The Future!" sticker and we're also designing a Prickley Pete, Joey, and Danny three (3) pin set.

We're also making a special Prickley Pete key chain featuring a scene from the game as well.

Also, every backer will receive a mini-propaganda poster (3.5'' x 2'') featuring Prickley Pete, Joey, and Danny on the back.
