Michael Michael On PomPom Shmups 13
Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to an Adrenaline Vault interview with Michael Michael, one of the two developers at indie game outfit PomPom. They've just had their two good-looking PC shoot-em-up ('shmup') titles, the Robotron-inspired Mutant Storm and the Defender-inspired Space Tripper picked up by indie publisher GarageGames, and talk a little about the idea of "..more single stop online portals for quality independent developers, so that customers who buy a PomPom game and like it can return to the same site for similar titles by other developers, rather than hunting throughout the Internet" - definitely a good idea.
I was all set to get excited (Score:3, Interesting)
I find this whole "central indie-game hub" trend very interesting, and I was hoping to read another success story in this PomPom interview. Turns out they're on the brink of oblivion, no longer working on games, and hoping this deal pulls them back to solvency. Sigh!
