Within like 2 hours of receiving that newsletter, I decided that song needed music. I don't have the best software, so I couldn't make a proper shanty, only a midi-type punky pirate thing and the result is super dumb in a way I'm totally proud of.

 

 

In the annals of excellent first posts, this is right up there.

How many game studios that you know have that good of a theme song, especially before they even announce their first game.

 

Come to think of it, how many game studios have theme songs at all?

I think you would be hard pressed to find a better first post.  Good job!  :tup:

I remember reading about one. Was it Bullfrog or Sensible Software or similar..?

[SiN]

"Aye, and it reminds me ... of a song!"

I think it was Infogrames.

 

Ohh yeah: http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2007/09/sing-along-with/

 

... Oh man, it's *sooo* bad.

[Justin Leego]

Be sure to listen to the very, very end. Ringtone worthy.

 

Please someone put it on Vanaman's phone

[Tylea002]

Thanks, guys!

It's a v. rough demo, cause I'm poor and can't afford actual instruments and what have you, so I'm glad everyone still seems to like it! Yous guys are too kind.

[Erkki]

Indeed, that was the best first post ever!

potential hot scoop: something I spotted during the DayZ stream that I was watching today. https://twitter.com/GamerClaw/status/440225727149903872

I'll post it in here

You know what I'm thinking...

Why play the most dangerous game? Why use the Hunger games as an analogy so often? Why are these ideas so prevalent in Sean's noggin? I think we're going to see people in extraordinary circumstances, pitted against each other. Post apocalyptic? Maybe. the last survivors. There is going to be some lord of the flies shit going down. The interactions between a small group of people, isolated, alone, up in the mountains.... At the Lookout.

Oh also, that's the name of the game. The Lookout

You've got to love a little wild speculation

[SecretAsianMan]

What if the DayZ stream was really the start of a Campo Santo ARG...

[melmer]

Oh, without a doubt!

[Nappi]

You play as the last human being in the world decimated by advertising robots. You must scavenge billboards for building material, set up fortifications and defend yourself against "targeted advertising" by Big Dogs and Petmen long enough to finish your epitaph for humankind.

 

 

Also, awesome work Tylea002!

[Justin Leego]

Good archival skills, Arthur. Cave confirmed! But what pre-existant franchise could #LookOut possibly be part of?

[melmer]

The Matrix

It's coming back in a big way, trust me

Enter the Matrix #LookOut. Neo ain't dead (sorry spoilers) he's just been kicking back at a mountain reserve these past 10 years

Who'd have thought it, Campo Santo, making a Golf game set in the Matrix universe

Thanks, you guys. I like Jake's face when it came up  

Will there be some sort of Obama dunk-off boss fight? Maybe a ghost? 

[Coods]

The way this sparse game information is being leaked through Diet Coda demos and DayZ streams makes this the weirdest ARG ever.

[Roderick]

Campo Santo turns out to be a wholly owned yet secret subsidiary of Double Fine (notice the twin words that comprise their name; they mean the same thing in the lost language of Bethandír) and are making the true sequel to Psychonauts. The wilderness vibe proves it! Everything else is a ruse.

They've secretly been bought by Valve. Half Life 3 CONFIRMED.

[Bjorn]

Half Life 3 is a camping simulator where Gordon decides to say fuck society and goes to hide on a mountain.

that's simply not believable. Good try though.

[Jake]

If campo santo created any Half Life content it would be a talking mod for Gordon.

[SecretAsianMan]

I hope it's an inner monologue that reveals his thoughts and feelings to the player but the game characters are still given the silent treatment.
