Get to know the creators of “Duality ZF”
Posted by John as Shmups
Duality ZF is now officially 双攻 (Double Attack) in Japanese. Get to know the creators of this award-winning game.
One of the newest video games on the Xbox 360 gaming system is coming from Yarmouth, N.S.
Twin brothers Jason and Matthew Doucette grew up playing games together such as Mario Brothers and Pac-Man. They began programming their own games when they were in Grade 3, and in junior high they placed in top spots in national math competitions.
Now the 34-year-olds have made a dream come true by becoming game developers at their new company Xona Games.
Their first game – Duality ZF – recently placed in the top 10 in a Microsoft competition for independent game developers.
That means it’s on its way to the Xbox 360’s downloadable game section. The finished product should be available in about a month for millions of people to potentially download. (Special thanks to CBC)

Posted by John as Shmups
It’s only two days away until the closed beta service of Valkyrie Sky kicks off in high gear!
Gamekiss, the Online PC game portal, announces the official website launch of its brand-new title Valkyrie Sky. Gamekiss officially names its own genre called “Arcade Shooting MMORPG“.
Valkyrie Sky is a RPG based on the Norse mythology. It incorporates the game play of old-school games like “Galaga“, more similarly, the Touhou game franchise. The MMORPG combines shooting-the best genre of the arcade platform-and MMORPG, a popular online platform, into one.
Experience the thrill of player vs. player (PvP) and battle for occupation of the World Map through the structure of two realms. You are sure to find latest features of the life system in MMORPG including fishing, cooking, playing music and auctioning as added amusement to the arcade shooting genre.
Players can select from 4 different jobs: “Swordsman“, “Bowman“, “Magician” and “Summoner“. Choose from a total of 12 different classes of each character having three different class progressions. Each character class has an important role in the party, such as tanking for the swordsman class and nuker role for magicians.
The first official CBT of Valkyrie Sky will be launched from www.gamekiss.com on October 21st 2009.
