Warthog Turning Japanese

Warthog Turning Japanese…

Warthog today announced that they
will be visiting Japan for the Tokyo Games Show and a select group of key
editors will be viewing two of their hottest titles in the Warthog stable at
their suite in Tokyo / Roppongi.

Johnny Whatever and Sticky Balls
were part of the Warthogs Making History Campaign a few months back, when the
company decide it was time to show the market and gamers that there are exciting
IPs been developed.

Johnny Whatever is a reluctant punk
hero fighting the Iron Royals, who have enslaved the people of New London.
Johnny Whatever combines rock music and pulse pounding action to deliver a
completely unique style of game play where music is your weapon. Harnessing the
untapped power of DirectMusic in conjunction with a complete suite of next
generation graphical effects, Johnny Whatever is a genre defining title… a 3rd
Person Riff Shooter!

Warthog has all the required tools
to develop for the Sony’s Next-Gen handheld video game system, the
PlayStation®Portable (PSP™). Warthog’s first game will be Sticky Balls; a
totally original game that is as easy to play as it is fiendishly difficult to
master.

The game is played on tables of
various shapes and with a number of differently coloured or patterned balls. The
player can shoot any of the balls on the table, rather like taking a shot in
pool, causing it to roll across the table surface, rebounding off the edges but
as opposed to pool they ‘stick’ to the other balls when they touch. As you get
deeper into the game, the balls can also have different properties such as being
pegged down to the Table, on fire, in liquid, or pre-‘stuck’ to other Balls,
etc.

Sticky Balls has a simple set of
rules which can be adapted to an almost unlimited number of game modes.
