Goblintown: Really Hard Driving Game

A note from our CEO, Chris:

COPE is thankful for the development team at Truth Arts giving some of our students a peek into what goes into the planning, creation, and testing of building a game. Please show them our appreciation by adding RHDG to your wishlist here.

Introducing Goblintown: Really Hard Driving Game. Coming Sₒₒₙ to a Mac or PC near you. Save to your Steam and Epic wishlists now!

From Alex, Truth Arts CEO:
The game is simple in its objective, beautiful in its world building, and has built-in viral aspects. We think an important part of making fun games is giving streamers and content creators tools to make funny and engaging content. You’ll learn a lot more about that as we get closer to release at the end of March / April but excited to see the reaction to the game when it comes out and people start streaming it.

As of today you can add it to your wishlist on Steam (here) and Epic Games (here).

Billie’s Bust Up

Unfortunately because this game is still in development there is not much I can write about it at the moment. But i can share a few details for now. When playing Billie's bust up for the first time i learned that it will be a musical type game with variety of maps/songs to choose from, however the catch is some levels will be obstacle courses and once the game is done some levels will also be theater or dancing themed. The game does seem family friendly as there is so far nothing that is concerning regarding how the game looks or how it works, but since I cannot write much about it i can mention at least one of the levels just for now that level is called "one million greesome ways to die".

The "one million greesome ways to die" level: No it’s not what your thinking let me explain. Yes the song to that specific level is called that, however nobody actually gets killed. Instead, if you die on that level the villain's hands will appear, black out the screen and send you back to the check point. Or if you're playing normal or one hit mode, back to the start of the level. This level does seem ok but I feel it could use a bit more polish. However, my favorite part about it is the ghosts that appear on the screen in specific parts the level is mostly a obstacle course with a bunch of hazards you have to avoid.

That's all I can say about the game for now. I did get permission from the game developer's to write about the game.
