Watch Sup, Holmes? every Sunday on Dtoid.TV!
Samurai Gunnis poised to be the next big local multi-player PC hit, having garnered tonsearly buzz on the festival circuit. It even scored anIGF nomination for excellence in design. We were lucky enough to have the game’s one man development team ofBeau Blython Sup Holmes a few weeks back (nowon iTunes), right before the IGF nomination hit. Good thing we got to him before he realized how awesome he is.
Beau let us know that a single-player mode forSamurai Gunnis in the works, which Beau described as simple and straightforward, but different every time you play it. My thoughts immediately went toSpelunkyandThe Binding of Isaac. Beau claim those comparisons were inaccurate, which was encouraging, though he kept all other details close to his chest.
We also go word that Beau is working with Disasterpeace (ofKrunchandFezfame) to getSamurai Gunnto Xbox Live Indie Games. I hope that’s just the first step towards hitting a larger market.Samurai Gunnis one of those games that could appeal to just about anyone, from fighting game fan to old-school platformer fanatic to hardcoreJust Danceveteran, to those who game for ten minutes a week to eight hours a day.
