NinjaBee Announces New Xbox Live Arcade Title

August 4, 2008 - NinjaBee, a division of Wahoo Studios and a leading independent developer of Xbox Live Arcade titles, has announced details about its newest title, A Kingdom for Keflings. This innovative city-building title comes from the studio that developed and published the popular games Band of Bugs, Outpost Kaloki X and Cloning Clyde.

A Kingdom for Keflings puts players in the shoes of a giant who has the ability to design and construct an intricate city for the local Keflings. Each giant starts out with a small handful (literally!) of helpful Keflings who follow the giant's every command. These Keflings can be trained to become lumberjacks, miners, transporters, sheep shearers, scholars, and various other professions as they help build the kingdom from the ground up.

"We wanted to make a city building game where the player is more personally involved instead of controlling an abstract floating hand," said Steve Taylor, President of NinjaBee. "A Kingdom for Keflings transports the player to a world they create and allows them to relax, enjoy the world and create a strategy that works for them."

A Kingdom for Keflings will feature fun and light-hearted gameplay with stunning visuals and original music to match. Players will build through all four seasons, with a dynamic musical score that changes depending on the progress of the city. Players of all ages can customize their kingdom by painting buildings and walls, planting trees and topiaries and constructing statues and other works of art. The online multiplayer option allows up to four giants to build a kingdom cooperatively over Xbox LIVE. A Kingdom for Keflings will be released later this fall on Xbox Live Arcade.

I love Outpost Kaloki X so i'll probably buy this if it garnishs good reviews. Expect the price to be 800 Microsoft Points($10).

Looks good..Kind of like a game against the new WiiWare Final Fantasy game.

I've been reading about aKfK for awhile, and I've been a huge Ninja Bee fan, as I own both OKX and BoB.

Looks not bad, but looks like a kiddy Settlers. I wonder how big your city can be and how much depth there is.

Nice big screenshots ;)

I may just be practicing for the future.

I was just reading about this. Looks interesting.

Ninjabee makes decent XBLA games so this definitely has potential.

I will have to give this a series look. I didn't like Band of Bugs too much (Not my type of game), but Outpost Kaloki X is good and I loved Cloning Clyde. I'm still hoping for a sequel or expansion.
