Imagos Software combines point-and-click adventure with horizontal shmup in the upcoming ā90s-style sci-fi action game Starr Mazer. Itāll be bringing it to Kickstarter in the coming months, too.
Starr Mazer actually started out three years ago when Jeremie Perin was hired to create a concept for his dream game that would be used in the opening minutes of Imagos Filmās award winning feature film āMotivational Growth.ā The result was the trailer you can watch above as seen in the film.
Now, with the creation of Imagos Software, the companyās new game-making arm, and with the help of developer TOO DX, Starr Mazer is going to become an actual game.
You play as Brick M. Stonewood (the āMā stands for āMetal,ā apparently), who was found by ingot miners in a sleep-lock ā heās a man from the past in science fiction future, a bit like how Fry in Futurama woke up several years into the future.
But Brick is no pushover, as heās a talented mercenary pilot who drives the spaceship Starr Wolf, as well as being a hot shot with a gun, and so he heads out into whatās left of the galaxy after the Great War to find out more about his hidden past.
As you can see in the trailer and screenshot above, Starr Mazer is a project thatās designed to be much like a game of the ā90s, with its old-school point-and-click interface, stylized pixel art, and chip tunes. You can keep up with the developer of Starr Mazer on its website.
