Just makes them stand out, it's a good marketing ploy. You hear the name laugh, talk about their game(s), keep them in ur head because it's easy to remember them. If I ever post about them I will be sure to leave the thing about them being called the bearded ladies okay? I think it’s a unique name Earl. Just makes them stand out, it’s a good marketing ploy.

If I ever post about them I will be sure to leave the thing about them being called the bearded ladies okay?

I'm sure those guys are swell, but why is this case so different? for some reason I find myself annoyed how everytime this game is mentioned they always talk about the authors being known as “the bearded ladies.” who knows them as that? who ever heard of them? is it necessary to dress up for photo shoots and have promo photos of the authors that go along with this tiny game?

why are they getting all this attention and hype?

Wanted to answer some questions. 1 – First of all there is the question of a demo (which is more of a demand, really :) ). We are a very small team that paid for this title out of our own pockets. Making a demo takes time and needs to go through quality assurance as the full title. We are not writing off a demo in the future, but right now its just not feasible.. …we need some vacation. 2 – Which brings us to question number two.. ..how long did it take. This first part of this game was made for PC on our inhouse engine, and was actually meant to be a rehabilitation tool for stroke patients. This was about 18 months ago. We met the great 3rd party guys from sony at the nordic games conference just over a year ago, and they showed interest in our game. We recieved our first dev-kit some time in july last year and started porting what we had. At that time we locked ourselves in one small office room and withdrew all weekend permits ;) So the game as it now stands, about 12 months FULL FULL time. continues below..

We are all from sweden and there is ofcourse a big demoscene tradition here. Some of us used to arrange demoparties and compete. We actually made a small 64k invtro under the name bearded ladies a few years back.. .pouet.net for that :). Seems to be a few people who want to start their own.. .here is our formal reply : DO IT!
