Q-Games, the developer behind the popular PixelJunk series of games on PlayStation Network and Steam, is excited to put PixelJunk Inc. in the hands of gamers for the first time at PAX Prime as a member of the IndieMega Booth! PixelJunk Inc. is being developed by a small, dedicated team, with weekly details of the project shared on the team’s development blog (found at: http://pixeljunk.jp/inc/). Since the release of the first teaser trailer at the Game Developers Conference, anticipation has been steadily building and gamers will finally get a chance to try their hands at starting own intergalactic soup empire on the PAX showfloor!
For the uninitiated, PixelJunk Inc. is a sandbox-styled mix of platforming, base building, tower defense, and good old fashioned monster-stomping! Gamers assume the role of a simple Astroworker in an intergalactic soup corporation tasked with making the most delicious and profitable soup out of alien flora and fauna. Of course, each planet’s native denizens aren’t particularly keen on becoming canned products, so it’s best to bring co-op partners to ensure survival!
Gamers looking to step into the interstellar kitchen will find us in the IndieMega Booth with PixelJunk Inc., our latest PS3 app, Visualizer, and a slew of PAX-Exclusive PixelJunk goods to share with fans – including buttons, fans, stickers, and comics.
PixelJunk Inc. is currently being developed for Steam on PC with an anticipated release later this year. Mac and Linux versions will follow the initial PC release. Gamers can follow PixelJunk Inc.’s progress on our weekly developer’s blog here,pixeljunk.jp/inc, and stay updated with new screenshots, trailers, and wallpapers.
