So i haven't posted any TVTs in the last week. This is in part due to the contracts that I have been working on but in most part due to putting alot of work into Gearo the Hero.

There is still along ways to go before Gearo is ready to play but so far everything has been going great and coming togeather to bring this work of art to life. David has an amazing ability to create stellar artwork that has a life of its own.

What is Gearo the Hero? Gearo is a Linear Platformer game thats designed to just be fun to play. Theres no complex skill systems or having to remember many different buttons to play. You just grab your Xbox 360 controller or your mouse and keyboard and let the fun begin.

The controls are this simple: Left mouse button is your swing attack, right mouse button is block. 1,2,3 keys are to use your items (health, scrolls and bananas) You move your mouse to move the camera about. All of these map right over to the 360 controller for an extremly natural feel to it.

Gearo is being designed in such a way that if we ever need to we can build upon it with new episodes (content) and keep the story building and branching.

While I can't get into alot of the details on the game (sorry cant just yet) I can say for everyone that has been waiting and for those that join the waiting list. You wont be disappointed.

Here's a little work in progress screenshot.



(I have some TVTs to release next week so stay tuned!)

Ah great to hear Gearo the Hero is still in the works and looks to be going along nicely :-)

I hope it feels just as natural with the keyboard and mouse.

I was wondering if you are going to still make the Torque Video Tutorial? If you would want to sell the videos you have a buyer here.

thanks for your time
