Penny Arcade and Hothead Games have announced the launch of Greenhouse (Beta), their new portal for downloadable PC titles. The first title to be launched, of course, is Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, which is being developed by Hothead.
Naturally, the games will be hand-picked by Tycho and Gabe themselves. No indies are currently on board, although Gabe did have this to say in their interview with Wired:
So what to say, other than that this is exciting news? The enormous, built-in fanbase, the general attitude… I hope the PA guys pull this one off.
Braid, by Jonathan Blow, is slated for a Spring release.
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, by Hothead Studios, is slated for a Spring release. Be sure to check out the three gameplay trailers from January, if you haven’t already.
Castle Crashers, by The Behemoth, is slated for a Summer release.
This information was revealed in a Microsoft press release following their keynote. It’s really more of an excuse to post more screenshots. I want to play all of these games very badly.
