Thirty Flights of Loving Trailer
Months ago when we were brainstorming ideas for Kickstarter rewards, we floated the idea of contacting the one-man indie dev team Brendon Chung (aka Blendo Games) and asking him to follow up on his acclaimed video game short story Gravity Bone. The idea was deemed a shot so long it could circumscribe the globe, but we pitched it anyway. And he said yes.
We've been Blown Away by what Brendon has created, so we cut together this trailer to show it off to the world. Enjoy the debut trailer for Thirty Flights of Loving:
Idle Thumbs Kickstarter backers will be the first people in the world to play the game, and they'll also have access to an exclusive Goldblum mode unavailable in future versions. An opportunity like that is worth its weight in...Goldblum.
And by getting the game through the Kickstarter, you're still directly supporting Blendo Games. Your conscience remains intact!
On top of that, Chris was lucky enough to have the opportunity to compose the game's original score, an excerpt of which can be previewed below or downloaded here:

We'll announce some dates in the not so distant future. But if you see the rewards delivery to the right, it says May 2012, and we promise it won't be late!

Just wanted to say that preview of the soundtrack sounds like Chris trying to explain how cool Gravity Bone is (and/or Thirty Flights of Loving).

God, I hope there's a Remo-de in there where you choose to go to the moon but all difficulty settings except "Hard" are crossed out.
Creator Eric Leslie on February 28, 2012
Loving that music, a lot. Bravo.
Creator afroofdoom on February 28, 2012
Excellent 50s/60s cheesy spy flick vibe from this, I could definitely see this playing in TF2 or NOLF.
Never played Gravity Bone, so I should go check that out.
