Got this PR email and thought it was interesting so here you go:
I'm going to go straight to the point. Two guys in Argentina (South America) built an awesome shmup arcade machine, from scratch. Super-indie, no budget. It's a classic shoot 'em up game, where the spaceship gets bigger and bigger as you play, and you need to resist in time. The longer you resist, the higher the score. The arcade itself has transformed into a myth: the game is -only- playable on the arcade (nowhere else) and it's having it's own rockstar tour. Even Nathan Fouts (of Serious Sam and 1UP fame) tweeted about it.
Give a look at the trailer they made, here:
I think it speaks for itself.
Here's their blog: http://www.videogamo.com/navearcade
They've also made some cool making of vids that are worth checking out…
The creators of the project, called NAVE (which means spaceship in Spanish) are Hernan Saez and Maximo Balestrini, from Videogamo. They can be personally reached at navearcade@videogamo.com
The reason I'm contacting you guys directly and not them, is because we're helping them spread the word about this new awesomeness. Plus, we're helping them get TOUR dates of the Arcade. One of our biggest dreams would be to have them travel with the Arcade itself and make a little tour moving around US, Europe, Asia… you name it. Personally, I have some experience doing press, being a creative director in PepperMelon and decided to give them some help via a new artists-curating-artists community from latam we're just starting out , called Author's Bay (www.authorsbay.com)
That is all!
Hope you enjoyed these!! We're very excited for the project and have already gotten some good tour dates! Let us know what you think and if you like it
Big cheers from the end of the world !!
