Robot News Regarding: Sir, You Are Being Hunted

By Jim Rossignol on June 29th, 2012.


WARNING: SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION POST AHEAD. LOVE YOU GUYS!

So for the past two years I’ve been multi-classing with game dev studio Big Robot, and we’ve been doing some stuff, which we’ve talked about before on RPS. The thing we’re most excited about, though, is what we’re working on right now, which is called Sir, You Are Being Hunted.

Development fact: Jim hand-drew the fourteenth pixel from the left/fify-eight from bottom. FACT.

Important disclosure: AVSEQ is created by Big Robot, the indie game dev company owned by one Jim Rossignol.
