During this meeting we try to help one another to find the best idea. How did you come up with all the ideas for the different puzzles and quirky little ways to get out of tough situations in Bulb Boy?īulb Boy Team: Artur & Szymon use to meet once a week (every thursday) and discuss different aspects of the game. You have to help your family and solve the mystery and discover what happened. One gloomy night, Bulb wakes suddenly from a frightening nightmare to discover that darkness has overshadowed the old family house. It was a time of fun, friendship and love. He grew up in a big old house with his GRANDPAraffin and Mothdog. We both contribute to the ideas for the puzzles and discuss the process of making them as playable as possible.īulb Boy Team: In the Electric Forest, lived a boy with a glowing head who was called Bulb Boy. It was that moment when idea of bulb headed character was born. Szymon was drawing concept art for a game and friend of us walk next to him and said that main character looks like he is glowing. You can see this in his first student movies, like Daddy made in 2006.īulb Boy is a unique looking character, where did you come up with the idea for his design?īulb Boy Team: Main concept appeared accidentally. The art style used is particular to Szymon’s style. What made you decide to go with this particular art style with a game like this?īulb Boy Team: We wanted to create a protagonist, who is emotional and likeable. As for classics: Another World, Gobliiins are our favorites.įor being a horror game, Bulb Boy is very cute. We are inspired strongly by Amanita Design games but we want to go further and improve the old-school point and click mechanics. The story and mood of these games is hilarious. We started to look for sound designer and Bartosz was the best contender.ĭo you find yourself taking inspiration from previous point and click games? If so which ones?īulb Boy Team: We are both fans of Machinarium and Limbo. Szymon came up with the Bulb Boy character and thats how it all began. We decided a year ago to give our game another chance.
After this Artur learnt a lot about programming while working at a gamedev company and Szymon improved his drawing and animations skills while studying art.
But because we were novice game devs at the time the project did not get very far. We tried to make an adventure game (horror of course) about a murder in a haunted house. Artur and Szymon met for the first in 2000, during high school and tried to work on their first game. Bulb Boy is on Kickstarter now and I had a chance to ask a few questions to The Bulb Boy Team in order to ask a little bit about this grotesque yet adorable game.īulb Boy Team: We're all from Krakow, Poland. With horror being one of the more subjective genres of gaming it’s nice to see a game like Bulb Boy mix the cartoony style of its artwork with the unsettling designs of it’s monsters. The game shows horrifying monsters trying to murder our cute and expressive main character, giving gamers the urge to protect the little guy. Bulb Boy is our protagonist, a little boy with a lightbulb for a head who lived a happy life until his nightmares became a reality.
The demo is just the first part of the uniquely-styled point and click horror game. It looks like your real nightmare is just beginning.īulb Boy is a Kickstarter game that has gotten quite a lot of notice from many YouTubers such as PewDiePie, Markiplier, and Andrew Dickman.
