Q & A with Bob’s Game creator, Robert Pelloni
Bob's Game is the culmination of 15,000 hours of hard work and perseverance, over the span of 5 years, all done by one man. That's right, the creator of Bob's Game, Robert Pelloni, spent 1/5 of his lifetime (ages 20 - 25) writing, programming, and designing every single pixel and sound you will encounter throughout the game.
Here are some details about the game, according to the website:
- -For Nintendo DS
- -20-hour-long retail-size, retail-quality adventure title
- -Focus on story, puzzles, item collection, and communication instead
of repetitive battles with palette-swapped enemies - -Over 200 unique characters that evolve throughout the story
- -In-game time effects, like changing weather patterns
- -...and much more
Thanks to the wonders of e-mail, Retro Video Gamer was able to do a Q & A with Robert to get some inside perspective on Bob's Game.
