The Last and Final Word: Bennett Foddy
Bennett Foddy created QWOP. Due to a chaotic viral outbreak, its popularity skyrocketed outside of the usual independent circles. More recently, he released GIRP, which he calls “very loosely a spiritual successor to QWOP”.
Do you like QWOP?
foddy.netThe creator of QWOP has released another game, called CLOP. It’s like QWOP, but with unicorns!! Try it!
I’ve already posted 2 videos (Pen Ward’s and David Surman’s) on the subject which should almost certainly convince you that LA Game Space will be revolutionary. If you like video games, donate $15 to the LA Game Space Kickstarter campaign and you’ll not only help change the world of video games in an amazing way, you’ll GET 30 GAMES made by indie geniuses from around the world. One of the games will actually be a collab project by Pen Ward (Adventure Time, Bravest Warriors + more) and Bennett Foddy (QWOP, CLOP + more). Is there any other reason you need? You can get shirts and posters and all kinds of other neat stuff if you donate more, too! Oh my glob! Do it!
I haven’t managed to make a game that my wife wants to play.
