Newly announced Gabler title not tied to 2D Boy
It would appear that I sort of got things mixed up in my recent 2D Boy article (which has since been updated) — I’m not the only one, either, as various sites seem to have been a bit confused, too. It’s a crying shame, I know, but with new information on the subject, it’s time to remedy the situation with an update.
Apparently this upcoming game isn’t a 2D Boy title, although the guys at the studio are indeed cooking something up. No, this game will not feature the 2D Boy tag, but will instead fall under a different name, though I’m not entirely sure what that is just yet.
As the FAQ reads:
“Nope, 2D Boy isn’t making it. EA also isn’t making it. It’s nothing very official at all, just the two Kyles (Gabler and Gray) and Allan, who all went to grad school together and have been wanting to make something for a long time.”
The game is said to be based on an old EGP experiment, which is about the only hint the guys are giving out. That same FAQ does go on to say that the game is looking to shape into a tight package.
“Our hope is that a shorter, just a few-hours long game where everything is high quality and extraordinary, will be more valuable for players than a 40-80 hour game with lots of filler.”
You’ll get no arguments from me.
