So, I’m actually working on the official Press Release, but since it’s been a long and tiring week, I’m going to have to finish it up tomorrow. Nevertheless, I promised myself (yeah that’s right, me) an announcement on UBS of some sort tonight, so here we go.
Ugly Baby Studios (that’s us) is pleased to announce the development of Exhumed: Kickin’ Ass & Takin’ Brains, a brand new Zombie game for Xbox 360’s Community Games Service, built on the XNA framework with a custom 2.5(ish)D game engine. Unlike the traditional Zombie fair in which hordes of the Undead stagger and/or leap after your human protagonist as he desperately struggles to survive, Exhumed will have players taking on the role of a Zombie protagonist with a damn simple goal: Kick butt, tear stuff up, and eat some juicy human brains.
There will be no attempts to save the world from aliens. There are no desires to turn other humans into zombie friends who’ll come over on Fridays for poker night (not even pai gow). There will be no saving of anyone, unless it’s for a midnight snack.
And that, my friends, is all you get until the full press release has been…released.
