- Which platforms will Rog & Roll be released on?
- Steam (PC/Mac), iOS, and Android are all currently planned.
- Will the game also be ported to consoles?
- No plans are currently in place, but I would love to make this happen. Looking into it!
- Do you need a composer/sound designer/voice actor/etc.?
- Nope! But thanks for asking!
- When will the game be released?
- Still waiting a bit before announcing that - I don't want to announce a set date it until I'm absolutely sure all the pieces are in place and I don't have to spring any disappointing delays on everyone. Keep an eye on Twitter for updates on this!
- Is there a demo available?
- Working on that too. Again, keep an eye on Twitter!
- Do you have a publisher?
- I'm working with Crescent Moon Games to publish the game on iOS/Android. As of now I am self-publishing on all other platforms.
- What engine are you building Rog & Roll in?
- Unity!
- How do you get that 3D pixel art aesthetic?
- For the most part, the game is a mix of 2D pixel art elements (characters, pickups, projectiles, background details, etc.) and 3D environments that I modeled in Blender, and then textured with pixel art. There's also some shader magic mixed in to help things blend together better.
- Was Rog inspired by [existing video game character]?
- Rog is a pastiche of low-ranking enemy monsters from a huge range of platformer games from the 80's and 90's. There's DNA from plenty of sources mixed in there, with a pinch of Sentient Tomato added for flavor.
- I want to know more about the game's characters/world!
- Rog & Roll is loosely based on a comic I've drawn for many years called Badnix! The game and comic universes aren't exactly the same but you can get a very good sense of the game's world and characters by leafing through the comics.
- Who are you, anyway? What's a Punch the Moon?
- I'm Clay! I'm a game developer and artist and I'm also the person making Rog & Roll. Punch the Moon is a company I started for me/sometimes my friends to release games through.
- Will Rog & Roll include gacha elements?
- I don't know what that means.
- Will Rog & Roll include a range of equippable hats, with varying degrees of fashionability?
- Probably not?
