DeathSpank: My Clip Runneth Over

Something I helped create, gave up on, resurrected then forgot about again is about to be unleashed on the world. That means I can post stuff based on work I did years ago like I had anything to do with it.

Here's the launch trailer from the lovely people at Hothead Games. It reveals some of the story in the upcoming DeathSpank game. I fondly remember the first orphan-related story & design sessions with Ron earlier this century. We knew then that DeathSpank would be special.

Impending Spankitude

My old pal Ron has been hitting the PR circuit for a little game we cooked up a few years ago called DeathSpank. Ron was sequestered in Vancouver, B.C. for the last couple years working on the game at Hothead, but has finally emerged from hiding to proclaim the game pretty much, kinda totally finished.

Here's a link to some hands-on impressions, first from Joystiq.

And from Gamespot.

Look for DeathSpank on some form of shiny box with blinking lights near you soon!
