We have to admit to only just hearing about Deco Digital and their Kickstarter project – We Made A Game, but it looks like a cracking idea and one that Xbox One owners should be interested in.
We Made A Game isn’t a game, it’s a documentary covering the trials and tribulations of making an Xbox One title; from the very start right up until the very end. The feature length documentary will take viewers through the whole game development pipeline from start to finish, showing those who have risked their financial security and personal relationships to achieve the dream of creating their own independent games studio.
And whilst that may not initially excite you, the promise of an brand new Xbox One title from a combined development team should entice you in.
It’s all being made possible thanks to the power of the ID@Xbox self publishing program and the guys at Deco Digital have teamed up with Bevel Studios to create a new exciting and innovative video game for the Xbox One. Game details are yet to be announced but you can see some little hints at the concept throughout their Kickstarter video.
Time frames are a hard thing to nail down, but all signs are pointing at a Christmas 2014Â release of the game, with the documentary being released FOR FREE around January 2015 and the exclusive DVD being distributed to certain backers shortly after that.
For all this to happen, the Kickstarter needs funding and we’re pleased to say that goal has just been hit (literally as we type), but there are still a couple of stretch goals which need help and this is where you come in. There are a number of funding tiers from £1 right up to the biggy at the £500 mark, but our personal favourite hits home for £60 – A limited physical DVD copy of the documentary signed by the entire team PLUS a download code for the game when it appears on Xbox One. Seems sound doesn’t it? The first of the stretch goals looks interesting and we’d love to be seeing the team recording their antics at GDC Cologne.
Let’s make it happen eh!?
