My girlfriend Zenobia ( queenzenobia.deviantart.com ) got inspired when she saw some of the artwork for our booth at GGA and played around with some pixel art.

I thought it looked really nice, I’m sure she’ll get hired once PoH is to be made for the NDS.

She kept telling me it’s not done etc buuut, here it is!

Håkan working in bed

The idea of Penalty of Heroes have come from tree year of dreaming.  Sometime I wakeup with an idea that I have to write  down on a piece of paper that I always keep beside my bed or else can’t continue my sleep. The next  morning I can’t sometime read what I’ve written and did not even know that  had written down. Because PoH is build on small ideas/dreams the game have change constantly by my daydreaming ;). At first PoH was suppose to be on  the Nintendo DS and you handle the fight by  doing style gesture on the touch screen and timing the attack to do combo with your companions.

For the world of Nimo I got much inspiration from Norse Mythology and other islands lite Gotland (where I live) Island England.

The third year in my game education I toke all my ides and start to put them to getter and pitch the idea to my now  current Databox Games team.

and here we are now.

These last days Håkan have been at the game show Flippat in the southern part of Sweden in Malmö. He and some other students showed games that they have done such as Drinks for the Nintendo DS. Drinks was also shown at a huge outside big screen at the centre of Malmö. Other games that also were shown there were Red Alert 3, Mirrors Edge and Guitar Heroes World Tour. Here’s a clip that shows the Drinks video shown at the outside screen.

Have you heard of the game Drinks? It’s made some people here at Databox Games and developed for the hand held Nintendo DS. You play as a bartender in a city and learn how to mix drinks in different bars with different customers. Due to problem of getting a developer kit for the NDS from Nintendo the game haven’t been released yet. Have a look at the Drinks video below or check out more videos and pictures at Drinks website.
