Waxy.org is the sandbox of In the latest Kickstarter Podcast, I interviewed indie comics legend James Kochalka and Pixeljam Games' Rich Grillotti and Miles Tilmann about Glorkian Warrior, their retro-inspired videogame that mixes hand-drawn and 8-bit pixel animation.
James Kochalka is undeniably prolific, though he balks at the word. He's kept a daily comic diary of his life on American Elf for the last 12 years, released 40+ books, recorded 10 albums, and just appeared in a scifi film. But he's never made a videogame, something he'd been aching to do since he was a kid.
Thanks to a chance meeting at a chiptune concert, Kochalka's collaborating with Pixeljam Games to make it happen. Pixeljam's responsible for some of my all-time favorite Flash games, such as Dino Run, Gamma Bros., Ratmaze, and Mountain Maniac. It's a match made in geek heaven.
Their Kickstarter project ends tonight, so get the Glorkian Warrior game, mini-comic, and other exclusive rewards while you can.
Bonus track, for hardcore Kochalka fans:

Kickstarter is awesome. I love seeing that the creators of glorkian warrior will work someone into the game at the "GOD" level. It's exactly things like this which point to kickstarter's awesomeness.
