Co-Optimus Creator Announces Twin-Stick shooter for Xbox and PC
Feb 1, 2012. Brain Shape Games is proud to announce their first official title for Xbox Live Indie Games and PC, SCHAR: Blue Shield Alliance. Set in one possible future, SCHAR: Blue Shield Alliance is a sci-fi top-down shooter that blends elements of strategy and RPG games into a four player co-op experience. SCHAR’s gameplay requires quick reflexes as much as careful tactics. Players take on the role of a pilot in the space based Alliance, controlling one of four unique and upgradable ships to save humanity’s many interstellar colonies from an enemy known only as the Constituents of Nothing (CoNs).
Brain Shape Games is a brand new studio featuring the creative talents of Nick Puleo and Dave Paul. Nick Puleo owns and runs Co-Optimus.com during the day, and works with Brain Shape Games in the evenings, showing his utmost dedication to co-op gaming in every way. With the knowledge gained from co-op authority Co-Optimus.com, Nick aims to create an ideal co-op experience in SCHAR: Blue Shield Alliance with his longtime friend. Nick and lead programmer Dave Paul have been creating hobbyist games for 20 years together and only now feeling the world is ready for a Paul and Puleo creation.
“Dave and I have been creating games since we were in middle school, but they were always just for ourselves,” said Nick, “we felt it was time to be a little more serious and create something that other people could enjoy playing as much as we enjoy making it.”
Today the team is proud to announce the first teaser trailer which is available for viewing on YouTube – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXXCX-86hOw
