Nova Golf – Rises to Top 10

After just releasing Nova Golf this week, we are ecstatic to see the game an out of the gate success! It’s made it all the way into the top 10!

As gamers ourselves, we are proud to see Nova Golf on the same list as household games and popular titles we love. We are so indescribably excited to see a game that we independently developed do so well. Thank you, we’re glad you have been enjoying it.

So if you haven’t already… check it out at the Mac App store!

Nova Golf Released – App Store

Joseph Krzemienski — Wed, 02 May 2012 20:27:14 +0000

The Fictory announces the completion of our latest game, Nova Golf; now available at the Mac App store for MacOS.

Nova Golf, the sequel to GL Golf, is a realistic 3D game app for the casual and serious golfer. Boasting all the details of a real game on the green, Nova Golf will become every golfer’s favorite game when they’re not on the course. In collaboration with Nuclear Nova Software, we designed the game with real golfers in mind through precise 3D modeling and detailed graphics which immerse the player in a variety of courses. Whether you choose the Arizona desert, European terrain, or Northeastern USA, obstacles and realistic environments surround challenging, unique courses.

A brief tutorial teaches players to position their character, customize swing power, direction, height and ball distance.

Players also have the options to customize their character’s wardrobe and appearance or purchase a new club or golf ball at the app’s store. Different feels and results come with different clubs.

After 18 holes, players view their scores’ ranking among other stats to either brag or play again to improve.

Try and master all three courses!

KICKSTARTER FUNDING SUCCESSFUL

Joseph Krzemienski — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 05:58:48 +0000

As of today, the Atomic Robo: Last Stop Kickstarter Campaign is officially over. We can’t thank all of you enough for your contributions and support. We will keep your enthusiasm and generosity in mind as we work to finish Atomic Robo: Last Stop. All your donations will go towards making the best possible film for you to enjoy.

Completing Atomic Robo: Last Stop would not be possible without all of you! Thank you for your support and encouragement. Now our team will roll up our sleeves and get to work. Production resumes in June.

Because of slight over funding… we’ll also be developing an Atomic Robo Pinball Game [iOS & OSX] featuring the one and only Dr. Dinosaur. Additionally we are developing a Atomic Robo: Last Stop Game [iOS & Android]! It’s going to be a good year for Atomic Robo Tesla.

FOR SCIENCE!

Dr. Dino Enacts Meaty Revenge

Joseph Krzemienski — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 08:49:35 +0000

Apparently Dr. Dino’s had a little tantrum. He didn’t appreciate being left out of our Kickstarter campaign and decided to run amok on our site graphics with MS Paint. In addition to the defacing he demanded a few additions to our Kickstarter Campaign all of which you can find HERE. If we don’t reach his newly stated goals he’s threatened continue to hold The Fictory servers hostage… even though he only hacked in deep enough to create a separate user account with limited front-end editing privileges. An account that we should be able to find without to much hassle and delete. Oh well, better to leave the graphics up for now anyway. Who knows what other “diabolical schemes” he’s got planned.
