This was just a basic test to see how voxel games (like Minecraft) work. The engine for Get Pumped went on to be used to start a new 3D project, which we called “VoxelTest #1”. The game ended up winning the judge’s choice award for the Pittsburgh jam. Wilson made the pixel art, and Matt programmed much of the engine. We collaborated with several of our friends from CMU as one last hurrah before graduating. It’s a multiplayer game about using defibrillators to punt cardiac patients into competing hospitals for profit. Our first 3D game was called “ Get Pumped!” for the Global Game Jam in 2013. (GET PUMPED! Winner of the 2013 Pittsburgh Global Game Jam Judge's Choice Award) Notably, Matt made part of the soundtrack for 10 Million, a popular iPhone game. We’d also worked independently on contract work. Our games tend to be tongue-in-cheek, and involve dark humor. One such joke game was called “Loki’s Completely Fair Insurance Company and Gambling House,” which is where we got our company name. We also developed several hobby games outside of the club, mostly as internal jokes, or for competitions. Through the club, we collaborated with several other students to make a bunch of small, unknown games. A little RTS prototype game Wilson and Matt made years ago) It allowed us to network with some very talented individuals and develop the skills of starting and managing game projects. This club brings together artists, programmers, and designers to create little one-semester game projects of varying quality and size. We met in college at a club called Game Creation Society. The Beginningīoth of us are academics from Carnegie Mellon University.
This details how we got started, what went right, what went wrong, and where we’re going next. During our kickstarter, we went from being completely unknown hobbyist devs with no money to founding a game company, creating a community, and of course, getting $45,000 for the $20,000 we asked for. We are Completely Fair Games, Ltd, a two-man operation out of Pittsburgh, PA. The game draws heavily from some of our favorite games: Dwarf Fortress, Dungeon Keeper, and Minecraft.
KICKSTARTER KING UNDER THE MOUNTAIN MAC
DwarfCorp (short for Dwarf Corporation) is a 3D simulation/strategy game for PC, Linux and Mac where you micromanage a colony of ruthless capitalist Dwarves to mine, manufacture, and explore for profit.
