Another one of the 2009 IGF games I’m excited about is Anthony Flack‘s Cletus Clay. This hillbilly run n’ gun got its start over five years ago, not long after the release of and subsequent fiasco over Anthony’s popular shoot ‘em up Platypus, and not much was said about it in the interim. So it’s great to find out now that the game is in IGF, is coming to the PC and Xbox, and even has its own development blog (as any good indie game should).
Currently on the blog, Anthony is recounting a really interesting personal history of clay games, including the popular adventure title The Neverhood. Honestly, I’m surprised there haven’t been more such games. I guess stop-motion is kind of dead in the modern world… or is it?
In any case, Anthony… after Cletus Clay, I demand that you remake Bert the Barbarian. Please! For the glory of Crom.
