Digitally Downloaded's Chris Ingram had the good fortune to sit down and chat with the driving force behind the budding company; Fabien Demeulenaere, Producer, and David Bellanco, Lead Developer. He spoke at length about the team's confidence in the PlayStation Vita, the challenges in supporting the emerging platforms such as the Ouya, and the emerging opportunities in moving from a dedicated developer, to act as a digital games publisher as well.
Relatively new to the game development scene, The Game Atelier has fairly quickly showed the industry that it means business. Their first game on the Vita, Flying Hamster HD is a port of the Android and iOS title of the same name. What we have here is something reminiscent Parodius on the SNES; A 2D shooter with just six levels, but the sort of addictive gameplay and punishing difficulty that fans of yesteryear will relate to. Released around six months ago in Europe and now finally seeing a release in North America I delved into the candy coloured, slightly bonkers title to find out more.
$3.99? not bad, i will think about it but lbp is consuming too much of my gaming time right now.
LBP and Borderlands. And I still haven't bought Jet Set, Papa y Yo, and like four other things.
My VITA is my favorite gadget, tbh.
