Work in Progress

Hi jammers!

This is Dom2D, teamed up with Fernando Serboncini, and this week-end we’re working on a little game we like to call Every 10 Seconds a Window Washer falls to his Death! The idea spawned from this silly article on The Onion:

NEW YORK—A study released Monday by the Department of Labor found that every 10 seconds, on average, a window washer somewhere in the United States accidentally plummets to his or her death. “One would expect an occasional fatality in this occupation, but our research indicates that whether a rope snaps or a slip-and-trip situation occurs, more than 8,500 window washers are killed each day,” said statistician Carl Eberling […]

This gave us the really dumb idea to make a game in which this is actually true – a world where window washing is the most dangerous job ever. We thought it’d be cool to have the hero try to save these poor little dudes who are just trying to clean windows… And of course, our hero has a jetpack!

Fernando wrote something about coding magic, I don’t really know what that means?

On the technical side, it was written in Haxe3 with OpenFL/HaxePunk. We plan to release a Flash version (and maybe HTML5) for LD, with a later release on Native platforms.
