Gamma 3D: Paper Moon

By: Derek Yu

On: October 21st, 2008

What’s that I spy, hanging over the canvas sky? Why, it’s Paper Moon, a new game from my friend (and Aquaria partner) Alec Holowka, developed with his all-Canuck, Winnipeg-based studio Infinite Ammo. Made for Gamma 3D, this Unity-based platform game features true 3d graphics (using 3d glasses), and an interesting mechanic. The cut-out graphics are by the talented Katie De Sousa, with help from Adam Saltsman (Gravity Hook, Wurdle).

Play the demo at Gamma 3D in November!

Looks very nice guys. Gratz.

Ok people. Where can I find a pair of 3D Glasses? Shops, online, promotions. Whatever. Playing this game slightly cross-eyed just isn’t the same. Also, it hurts.

Sick!

Damn. I still need me some 3d glasses.

Yeah, there’s a few of these games that require 3D glasses but I never happen to have a pair around.

that aside…

Winnipeg? Sweet, as if there’s some indie game devs here in our tiny population.

“Add a little extra 3D fun to your event with these 3D glasses!”

It’s sort of funny. These guys have no idea who the fuck would want these.

The answer is: ME!

Actually, I’d kind of like something a little more robust… I mean, I had a cardboard pair at some point, but they got dogeared.

Better to just buy some Quality Street and make your own at that shipping price.

A little off-topic, but Katie de Sousa’s gallery on her site is very, very good. Hope she does some full colour art for a game sometime. That would rock!

I’ve usually been able to find 3D glasses at either the movie theater or book store (in some children’s books).

This game looks beautiful!

Luckily, I obtained a pair of free 3D glasses with a gaming magazine I bought some time ago because the posters that came free with it were in 3D.

This game looks fantastic, so I shall patiently wait for the full release.

Good art does not necessarily mean good game. It seems presumptuous to say “Play the demo at Gamma 3D in November!”, but the game goes look promising.

I took some snapshots of the environment art that I contributed:

This was a really fun project and it was awesome to see how fast it progressed. Props to Infinite Ammo!
