Mayhem Intergalactic was recently
awarded a place in the Student Showcase of the 2008 Independent Games Festival
in San Francisco, often called the Sundance of video games. The game was
subsequently featured on the Australian gaming TV show "Good Game".
"The IGF was a unique experience,"
says Chris Pelling, the founder and sole employee of Inventive Dingo, who also
studies full-time at university. "Everyone who tried the game said they loved
it. I’m a bit of an upstart, even for an independent game developer, so I felt
quite out of place there – too indie for indie! – until people actually started
playing the game and voicing their opinions on it. Once they got to that stage,
they were hooked!"
Mayhem Intergalactic keeps things
simple. Unlike many other strategy games, there are no complicated technology
charts to learn, no unit rosters to choose from, and no tedious
resource-collecting activities to engage in. A typical game session lasts mere
minutes rather than hours. Yet despite this simplicity, the game contains a
surprising amount of tactical depth. Attractive graphics and a stirring original
soundtrack, which adjusts dynamically depending on your progress, round off the
package.
Mayhem Intergalactic can be played
against the computer or over the Internet. It costs $19.99 USD, and is available
for Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. Versions for Mac OS
X and Linux are planned; users of those platforms are encouraged to sign up for
the email newsletter at
http://www.inventivedingo.com/. Doing so will ensure they receive a
notification when the game becomes available for their platform.
