The parody you wrote.

Ginger Yellow,

Do you mean the actual KFM parody trailer, or my parody of the narration of that trailer?

I have both.

I hadn’t, but I have now. Nice. And I really like the game, by the way. It reinvents the adventure genre in a really cool way. And that doesn’t happen often. Do you have a copy of that parody do you?

“Oh, I didn’t mean my post as a criticism. I was just pointing out why the title came across as like a B-movie.”

Good! Have you seen our B-movie?

“To Ginger Yellow, I freely admit the title was inspired by Kentucky Fried Movie, but the game is ENTIRELY different. Catholic HSGiT was a parody trailer of a porno. And while our game strives to push the boundaries of sexual suggestiveness, no one’s going to get a hard-on playing it.”

I own the full version of DHSGiT and it’s pretty good. The writing is a superb parody of the genre. It’s mostly mini-games and I mean that in a good way. It’s the rare game that I wish was supported by a book series.

Keith, thank you for the authoritative take on the release date micro-debacle — and the Gametunnel tip! Still, I’d rather someone else sifted through the various offerings each month and highlighted The Chosen Ones. Someone like Rock, Paper, Shotgun. It is not the lack of information that is the problem with the Internet.

I have to take the entire blame for not getting the word out for the release of DHSGiT. I rely primarily on one distributor of game press releases. The game shipped in June 2008. We released several demos in mid 2007, but final development dragged on and on.

As the center of the effort, anything that slips by the contractors I hire, ends up in my ‘to do’ box.

To Ginger Yellow, I freely admit the title was inspired by Kentucky Fried Movie, but the game is ENTIRELY different. Catholic HSGiT was a parody trailer of a porno. And while our game strives to push the boundaries of sexual suggestiveness, no one’s going to get a hard-on playing it.

I once wrote a parody of Kentucky Fried Movie’s parody, as satirical marketing copy, but nobody got the joke. You’d have to play the original and read my copy to get the joke.

Readers here looking for regular updates on indie game should check out gametunnel.com. They complement RPS really well, since their focus is on highlighting indie games. They don’t write news pieces. Each month they round up new games in their ‘games of the month’ effort.

Good interview, I’m with Keith who seems to advocate a mix of narrative and non-narrative gaming. Lord knows I’d be sad if games stuck to one or the other.

@A-Scale. It’s good. Quirky, too. Full version bought when this blogpost reminded me of its existence.

Also the Fibbing minigame got changed to mini-poker when I wasn’t looking.
