"Flowerworks" coming soon...

[shams]

Hi all,

As many long time VG'ers know, I am directly involved in game development - running a development studio in Melbourne (Australia) called Nocturnal ( http://nocturnal-central.com ).

We are nearing the end of development on our next project, and with the permission of the guys here at VG - I will be using VG to *exclusively* announce the project to the gaming world, deliver the first media, press release (and more).

As a prelude to the official announcement (which should happen in around a week), I am now doing a little "unofficial" announcement of the game to get the word out. This is the first time the game has been revealed to anyone outside the company, so its effectively a "world exclusive" - right now on VG :)

...

The game is called FLOWERWORKS(tm), and its a "casual/harcore" title for PCs (Windows only for now).

I won't talk too much about it now - leaving that for the official announcement, but I will say that the game involves growing flowers, launching fireworks and exploring a world - and is both an original IP and a completely unique form of gameplay (nothing that I have seen anyway!)

(if PuzzleQuest is Bejewelled x Warlords, then Flowerworks is Peggle x Zelda - as much as that is a bad analogy ;).

If anyone has any questions on that game, I'll be more than happy to try and answer them. Otherwise, look out for the official announcement around next weekend...
