The cute and disturbing RPG has new guests
Lisa(the painful, boundary-pushing RPG)really sparked conversation whenwe posted about it last week. It seems to have picked up quite a few supporters since then as well. As of Thanksgiving, the game has been fully funded and has moved on stretch goals. The first is for additional content starring Buddy — the last woman alive. Should the game reach $10K, we’ll be graced with the opportunity to play as Buddy as she works to discover the events that causedLisa‘s world to transform into the disgusting, dismal, disturbing place that it has become.
Speaking of dismal, I’m proud to announce that Jim Sterling, Conrad Zimmerman and I will all be appearing in the game as NPCs. We’ll be located in a place calledDismal Island, which will probably be a terrible place. From the looks of those silhouettes, we’ll be joined by at least two other fixtures fromour feel-bad comedy/videogame podcast. My bet is on Freaky Constantina and Willem Dafoe, but your guess is as good as mine. Other than what I learnedfrom playing the demo, I don’t have any inside info about Austin’s plans for the game, and I want to keep it that way. I’d like to be as surprised as the rest of you the first time I boot it up.
I’m particularly excited to discover whatJake “Virt” Kaufmanwill be bringing to the table. WhileLisa‘s creator/programmer/artistwill be providingmost of the game’s soundtrack,Jake has signed on to contribute musicto the game in some capacity. What started as a small passion project from a professional martial artist is slowly turning into a star-studded extravaganza. Just goes to show what’s possible when you’re unashamed of your weird ideas, and are willing to put time and effort into making them a reality.
