SAN JOSE, Calif., (April 12, in the year of our Lord
2013) – NAMCO BANDAI Games, a leading video game
publisher, developer, along with indiePub Entertainment, Inc.
(OTC: IPUB), a leading developer, publisher and distributor of
interactive entertainment software for digital distribution
channels, announced they have signed a global agreement for the
distribution of Storm™, Capsized™ and Vessel™, available in
2013.
All three games will be available for download via Xbox LIVE®
Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system
from Microsoft. Storm and Capsized will also be available
through the PlayStation®Store for the PlayStation®3 computer
entertainment system.
“We are really pleased to be partnered with an industry leader
like Namco Bandai,” says Ray Schaaf, indiePub’s President and
CEO. “We've invested a lot of time and money into these great
titles and believe Namco Bandai is well positioned to maximize
their potential.”
Storm is an ambient, ethereal experience where you use natural
phenomena to guide a simple seed to fertile soil so it can take
root and spring to life. Embrace the subtleties and strengths
of nature to move a broken branch, fill a small pond or make
snow fall to solve puzzles and create natural paths. Take your
time and explore nature’s nooks or simply enjoy the ambiance as
you float, blow and bounce a seed to the perfect place to take
root. Relax and enjoy Adventure, Challenge or Spirit modes,
each set in gorgeous environments and enhanced by soothing,
nature-inspired soundscapes.
Capsized is a fast-paced 2D action platformer set in an
immersive alien world teeming with bizarre life forms and
strange landscapes presented in a unique hand-drawn art style.
In Capsized, your ship crash lands on a mysterious alien planet
and you must navigate through perilous environments and fight
blood-thirsty creatures to save your crewmates and escape with
your lives. Using a grappling hook, jetpack and ship supplies,
you fight through hostile landscapes to save fellow shipmates
from the planet’s Tribal creatures. Capsized combines control
elements of first-person shooters with innovative physics-based
combat and nods to classic platform games. It has more than a
dozen non-linear levels with multiple modes.
In Vessel, living liquid machines called Fluros have overrun the
world and it is up to their inventor, M. Arkwright, to stop the
chaos. It’s a single-player puzzle game set in a steampunk world
with creatures based on a unique liquid-physics engine. Vessel
features a full-length soundtrack created by music prodigy Jon
Hopkins and uses a custom music engine to dynamically remix
tracks to reflect gameplay.
Storm, Capsized and Vessel will be available for download on
Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360. Storm and Capsized will also
be coming out on the PlayStation Store for the PlayStation 3
system.
