Second Amendment is a short text adventure written in Unity 3D. An unwieldy mashing together of QWOP-like, one-finger typing and straight-laced storytelling, the game is almost certainly one-of-a-kind. <\/p>\n
Gamasutra recently tracked down Second Amendment's three developers -- Ramiro Corbetta, Jane Friedhoff and K. Anthony Marefat -- to get the inside story on how such an unconventional game came about. <\/p>\n
Gamasutra: Just to start out, would you mind sharing a bit about your respective backgrounds? <\/p>\n
Ramiro Corbetta: Im the old guy in the group, I guess. Ive been making games professionally since about 2005. Right now I'm working on Hokra, which is part of Sportsfriends -- that should be coming out in February or March, or so I hope. However, the three of us met through Parsons The New School for Design, particularly the design and technology MFA program. <\/p>\n
Jane Friedhoff: Ramiro worked with me on my thesis game for Parsons, Vici. I also made a little thing called Hermit Crab in Space, which was part of the IndieCade East game jam and went on to be an IndieCade finalist. <\/p>\n
K. Anthony Marefat: Im currently attending Parsons in the same program Jane and Ramiro went through. Compared to them, Im a relative newcomer in the whole indie game design thing. Code and I got along really well [when I was growing up] and I took a liking to programming, participating in jams and working on little projects here and there. As the credits on Second Amendment suggest, this is the first official game that Ive released. <\/p>\n
RC: And clearly, Second Amendment is our masterpiece. [laughs] <\/p>\n
Gamasutra: How did the game come about? <\/p>\n
RC: We were all in a class together at Parsons. It was a Unity development course being taught by Robert Yang (Radiator), who is himself a recent graduate from the program. <\/p>\n
We had reached a point where we had to figure out what our final project was going to be. And I joked, You know whats missing from Unity? Text adventures. No ones making text adventures in Unity. Whats up with that? Anthony and I laughed, but then we took it further: how would it work? How would you control it? Obviously it would need to be in 3D, because Unity is a 3D tool and we need to use the tool to its fullest. <\/p>\n
