I don’t have any good ideas at the moment, but I’m really looking forward to seeing this LP and all the weird box art it will spawn.

I’ve wasted a lot of time on this game but never really had a successful company, so hopefully the LP Zone can run a game company better than me!

I’m really bad at naming things. But as for the game, I remember Puzzle and Animals going together fairly decently at the beginning.

I’ve played/beaten this game probably 3 or 4 times at this point, and I still have basically no idea how I did it or why the things I did worked. Should be interesting to see someone else power through it.

Even if you don’t want to make a game right now, feel free to vote for the company name.

An Educational Trivia game for the PC, Normal direction, whatever Style points you like, entitled Carmen Sandiego

Company name voting will go until tomorrow then I’ll start on games.

If no one votes for a company name, we might end up being boring studios 2.

How about Boresoft?

If we’re gonna go with a bore pun. My vote would be for Boretendo.

i second Boretendo.

Boreny.

Microbore oh god I could do these all day.

Boradox Games

Borenami, creators of such classics as Castle-meh-nia and Silent Dull.

I wish I knew how to pun.

Anyway I’ll throw a vote for Boretendo just so we have a large enough frontrunner to get started.

If we do go with the Nintendo pun, we’d be able to do a pretty decent job of nintendo game and puns I think. Go with a Adventure Ninja game and call it Ninja Gaiden. Normal on the Microx SX

If anyone can make a pun out of that that’d be cool.

Update 2 - Boretendo rises.

: So, thank you for hiring me. When boring studios went under I was worried.

: No worries!

: I’m glad to be working for… uh, what did you decide to call your studio?

: Boretendo.

: Oh, wonderful! (Better keep that resume up to date…)

: Anyway, here is our staff:

Gilly Bates

S. Presso

Callie Fornia

Amy Less

: We are currently lacking a Graphics Artist, but we will build on that as we expand.


: It’s wonderful to meet all of you. Oh, this arrived as well.

Game Guy Magazine

Competition in the game industry continues to heat up as newcomer Boretendo enters the market. We look forward to seeing what they have in store for us. It will need to be impressive to make an impact in this crowded market.

: Hah, I’ll show them. Team, it’s time to make a game!



Hi, this is DarkSysL, since Educational and Trivia are both Genre types, I can’t stack them. I have substituted historical instead. If this is an issue, please let me know.

Carmen Sandiego

Stage 1: Writing - Amy Less!

Stage 2: Graphics - Outsourced!

Stage 3: Sound - Callie Fornia!

Stage 4: Debugging!

Stage 5: Publishing!

Box Art:

Carman Sandiego is the history of cars in Sandiego. Join us in this all ages educational game, learn about the combustion engine.


: Uh, boss?

: It’s fine! Not everybody listens to the critics. Let’s see how our first game sells!


: Well, we have fans now at least. I guess there is a market for 25-40 year old woman and 13-18 year old men to like car facts??


One week later

: So, how’d we do on sales?

: Carmen Sandiego’s first week of sales was 15,596 units. We ranked… off the charts.

: That’s grea–

: As in we did not make it on the charts.

: Oh. We’ll just have to try harder next game!


: It seems a magazine wrote about us.


: Our first game sold 45, 316 units. That’s not bad for our first time out.

: Time to strike while it’s hot!

Next time: More games and training our staff!

Europa Galactica: A galaxy-sized strategy game that tells the story of space empires. In space. They also have a lot of expansion packs, one of which adds the Andromeda Galaxy.

Having seen the box art for Carmen Sandiego, I would like to change my title from Ninja Gaiden, to specifically, Ninja Guy Den.
