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)
