Announcing project Magnet Bots!

Hello everyone, my name is Reagan Qiu and welcome to the first ever production diary entry at Qurious Games! As some of you may know, I’ve recently set up this studio to pursue a game idea I’ve had and now after a crazy month of pre-production work, I’m proud to announce project Magnet Bots!

In Magnet Bots, the players are paired up with their own Magnet Bot companion to both explore the world of Coil and enjoy many of the activities it has to offer. The main objective is to collect different bot parts to customise your Magnet Bot with (everything is magnetic!). By doing this you can give your Magnet Bot new abilities and vocations so they can unlock new mini games and prove themselves worthy in the arena. You can train in the gym as a boxer, attempt to master the metallic culinary arts by wielding a spatula, solve crime puzzles with a deerstalker on your head or defeat your foes as a deadly assassin. The possibilities are endless!

Right now we are a small team. Our concept artist is the talented Tim Shepherd whose work you can find on http://shepherdartwork.com/. He is the man responsible for the amazing artwork and character concepts you can see right here on this page. He is loving his job at the moment and he is constantly in awe of the fact that he gets paid to draw robots all day.  The business, marketing, game design and coding aspects are handled by yours truly for the time being. Don’t worry, I’m not crazy enough to believe that I can take care of all these things by myself. I will be looking to expand our team and find people much more qualified than I am to fill these roles once this project goes full steam ahead.

I have a ton of in game content and updates that I want to write about but I’ve decided to keep this initial post short to pique your interests and focus on the other areas individually in the posts to come. This blog here will be our production diary for the months ahead where we will be sharing our development progress and ideas for Magnet Bots. We would love to share this journey with you all so please like, share and follow us on the various social media networks! Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any interest in this project and we appreciate any feedback that you guys give us.

Lastly, I want to thank all of my friends and family who have shown amazing support for this project, you guys are awesome and I definitely wouldn’t have been brave enough to dive headfirst into this venture without you all. The next couple of months are going to be bloody epic!

In the mean time please try out the test build! I will be uploading weekly demo builds onto this website for the general public to test out our latest ideas and give us some feedback.
