Could GeekBeerz be making... their OWN game!?

The idea of us making our own game has been around since, well, before we even started GeekBeerz. But now we might (might) actually making one soon!

It would be a long development, and all of our efforts would be needed, but a majority of us are more than willing to do something like this. Questions are how, what, when, where, and why.

What would the game be?
One Idea would be a video game version of one of my most popular Comic book series, Zombies and 4 Morons. A comedy about four not-so-bright friends who get trapped in a ghost town filled with Zombies, and the story continues from there. If made, it would become a new style side scroller.

Idea was brought up only by Tom [me] and Geoff, leaving Shrew and Bergy in the shadows. We'll bring up the larger view of the idea personally to them sometime.

When and why?

It would have to be soon if ever. It would possibly turn out to be a swap-turn project where one person will work on it for a substantial amount of time them eventually give it to someone else to work on. Another idea is specific projects per person, technically a art, animation, sound, and specs guy.

Why? Well why not? It wouldn't be too hard, it's not like we're leaning towards a console game. It would simply be a fun friend project that we hope, in long time, will eventually be praised.

How is unclear, we'll have to figure that out ourselves...

Is this a good idea though? Answer yes or no in the new poll, directly under the last poll. We would be glad to know what everyone else thinks, thanks. [if you want to know what Zombies and 4 Morons is about, please download the free book one at the ZA4M site, the second book comes out in October]

    1. Are you freaking kiddding me! It's a terrible idea, not in the sense that a game wouldnt be great, but it would distract them from their current projects, wait until you finish them, then work on a game, since game development takes a long time!

    5. Oh yes, I'm the jerk, ofcourse! Get off this site, really. This site was promoted on the forums I'm from for being a humble no name blog, and the first reaction we get is a commenter like you? Really, we are the start of the community here, and we don't need idiots like that one person, look in the mirror and you'll figure it out kid!

    6. I... don't understand. That one person? Who are they? They seem intriguing, I want to meet them :O Are you calling me not humble D: You're such a mean inconsiderate jerk. Do you even know how to treat a lady!? D: My word, you suck. Maybe you should just get off this site and leave me and my boys alone :C

    1. That's a good idea actually, maybe make the original characters an NPC's or something like that. That way we can feel apart of the story!

    3. Seriously man? They'd never be able to do this, why don't you go use Game Maker, LOL

  7. Guys guys, if this was to go into affect, it would just be a behind the scenes project that we'd work on slowly over time. In short, it won't affect our usual GeekBeerz business.

    2. hmm... I don't know, I mean, GeekBeerz never updates often.... skeptical is me.

  8. I think it would be a worthwhile investment, despite what my fellow "Anonymous" forum members (show some class, I know it's a pain, but take the time to add your name everyone) might all think. As from what we all understand, you're just starting out. Working on a game might branch out your popularity to others, not just podcast addicts. I personally am a sucker for newbie attempts, believe the little man can out throw the new guy. Despite some minor issues, you all have positional. Always remember to prioritize, too many projects will cause you to fail. Good luck to you all, I'll be sure to watch the progress!

    1. Thanks very much Mr. Blitz, we are indeed Newbies. We did start out as a blog called VGPastCast but we completely failed with that, and we hope never to make those same mistakes again. Popularity is nice, but that's not why we wanted to create GeekBeerz, we're just four best friends who enjoy doing this stuff and want to bring our opinions to the internet via podcasts and posts. However, it's good to know that we are getting some attention now. Again, thanks very much.

    2. Oh we can easily through anyone out a window! I'm sort of a proffessional at it.
