“It’s a game about a guy making a game, who is in a game, but is also making a game, and his marketing campaign is like a game, and that’s about a game, in a game, but also outside the game, where he is making a game, about him making a game, which is about the game industry, and you play other games. In the game.”

“What is bobs game?”

Hello.
My name is Bob, age 25.

This is my game for Nintendo DS, a 20-hour-long retail-size,
retail-quality adventure title by a single human being-
the largest game ever made by one person.

“bob’s game” is a simple 2D adventure game, with focus on
story, puzzles, item collection, and communication instead
of repetitive battles with palette-swapped enemies.

Many characters (over 200 completely unique characters!)
have deep personalities that evolve, and many things
depend on the in-game time, day and weather.

It’s the game I wanted to play when I was younger,
a vision I’ve been following since then.

-

The game industry is evolving rapidly into a new era where
titles are made by teams of more than a hundred developers.

I saw a window of opportunity quickly closing- what may be the
last chance for making a console game to be possible by a single individual.

Even on a portable platform, singlehandedly creating something
generally made by large, well-funded teams was no small effort.

All concepts, story, code, sprites, tiles, music, samples,
fonts, etc. were created entirely from scratch by me-
and I had to teach myself the skills as I went along.

The code is straight C, the music is tracked, and the art is all
completely hand-clicked tiles and sprites- done the right way,
pixel by pixel, like the classics we all know and love.

-

“bob’s game” is a sort of masterpiece for me.
I’ve invested well over 15,000 hours into
its development over 5 years of dedication-
That is no exaggeration, and it shows.

I intend this to become one of the last great old-school
2D retail console games- truly the vision of a single mind.

bob’s game

New Haven, Connecticut - Profoundly sidetracked Yale scholars have been working feverishly to determine the statistical accuracy of finding the hypothetically kidnapped Mushroom Kingdom Princess in a castle. It has been agreed that 87.5% of the time prospective rescuers will not happen upon the Princess, but instead be informed by a creepy fungus man that her whereabouts are elsewhere.
While probability and numerical accuracy have been officially cemented, researchers remain consistently baffled as to why she keeps getting yanked to begin with, or if she’s is even worth it at this point.

Next January, the first Professor Layton full length feature Professor Layton and the Immortal Songstress will be released in Japanese theaters.

The Layton movie is an original story from series creator Akihiro Hino and will feature game characters Professor Layton and his apprentice Luke. Professor Layton and the Immortal Songstress will be produced by Masakazu Kubo, producer of the Pokémon films.

Both clips feature puzzles where the answer is eiga, or “movie” in English.

This game had awesome cutscenes and voice-acting, so I’m not surprised by this at all.

Do you think there will be a sequel in the future?
