Penny Arcade: The Game
The videogame comic will soon be a videogame.
by Daemon Hatfield
August 25, 2006 - The creators of online videogame-themed comic Penny Arcade have joined forces with Hothead Games, an independent videogame developer, to create games based on the Penny Arcade comic.
The first game, entitled Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, will be a comic adventure game initially available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. A version for next-generation consoles will follow. The game will be available by digital download, delivered in episodic format with new installments of the adventure coming out several times a year.
"All our developers are industry veterans with years of experience translating characters from other media into video games, having been involved with such hits as The Simpsons Hit & Run and The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction," said Vlad Ceraldi, President of Hothead Games. "So working with Penny Arcade to create their first game is a natural fit, and we're thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with them."
Ceraldi added, "I've promised this with past games, and I stand by it: if the game sucks, I'll eat my shirt."
A release date for the first episode of Penny Arcade Adventures is yet to be announced.
