Tapeworm Interview

This is an interview with Game Makers "Tapeworm" on the Road Ahead...

Garrison Games - So Tapeworm, are there any upcoming games that you could share some information about?

Tapeworm - The game I've been working on most lately is “Avaus.” In it, you pilot a ship through a sort of dream world. Your goal is to locate some people who have disappeared, and maybe find out what's behind the disappearances.

Garrison Games - When did you start or are you planning to start this game? Also would you have an estimate on the release date?

Tapeworm - I started the game several years ago, but I haven't worked on it steadily since then. I've worked on it a lot in the past month or two, but it's still hard to predict when it will be finished. I want the game to be pretty extensive, and I might just keep adding more areas to explore after I finish the basic mechanics and story.

Garrison Games - Do you have anything for the public to view? Sprites, trailer, maybe a possible demo?

Tapeworm - I generally don't like to release demos, but I do have a couple screenshots I took a while back:

These screens make it look like an action game, but that's not really the main focus. I'm trying include some experimental elements so that my game actually adds something to what we've already seen in existing games. I don't know how successful I'll be in this.

Garrison Games - What are your goals and plans for the future?

Tapeworm - My two main goals at present are to finish Avaus and Velella (with Darthlupi). I have many other ideas for games, but I'm trying not to let myself think about any of them too much until I get these ones done.

Garrison Games - Do you have any final comments?

Tapeworm - Thanks for your interest in my work.As you can probably tell, I don't like to talk too much about my games before they are finished. I think that not knowing much about a game before you play it can add to the experience. That's assuming there's anything worthwhile in the game, of course.

Garrison Games - Thanks for your time!
