YOU'VE BEEN BLACKLISTED

Welcome to the blog for Blacklist games. We're a small group of developers creating games for PC, Xbox 360, and Zune using Microsoft's XNA Game Studio.

Our first official game, currently titled B17 Flying Fortress, should appear on the Xbox Creator's Club channel in the next month. B17 Flying Fortress is a retro 2D game resembling Capcom's 1942. The game will have 2 modes of play, 9 levels, and 4 levels of difficulty for a total of 72 different ways to play. The "arcade" mode is what you would expect from a game like 1942; a vertical scrolling shoot 'em up. The "advanced" mode adds a nice twist to the classic game; the player's bomber is always centered on the screen and the world rotates when the player banks left and right. Enemies the player will face depend upon the mission and difficulty selected, but you can expect to encounter the following: Bf109, Bf110, Fw190, Ju88, Me163, Me262, bunkers, tanks, and anti-air guns.

We're hoping to have the game available for download for as little money as possible... $5 USD (or about 400 Microsoft Points). If sales are solid we plan on creating more versions of the game

based on the B24 Liberator and the B29 Superfortress (with A-Bomb?) with better gameplay, better graphics, and better audio. These things cost money and we currently have none.

We also have plans for a few other games in the works; a vehicle combat game, a retro role-playing game, and a Pac-Man clone with a fun twist.

Enjoy!
