Housemarque and Eugene Jarvis working together!February 12th, 2015Yes, you read that right.Hello again Housemarque fans,as anticipated with the first email we sent to the "super secret accidental leaks" list, we just walked out of a Special Event we held in Kaarle XIII, a club venue in Helsinki that happens to be next to our office. The focus was on "arcade spirit", and our guest of honour was the legendary game pioneer Eugene Jarvis, the man behind Defender, Robotron, Smash-Tv, Cruise'n USA and more.A video of the panel featuring Eugene, Harry Krueger (RESOGUN Lead Programmer), and Mikko Hyppönen (CRO of F-Secure and arcade enthusiast) will be available on the Housemarque YouTube Channel as soon as we can sit down to edit it. If you don't want to miss it, make sure to subscribe!We are making a new game.Panel aside, Eugene didn't come to visit us because he's an avid fan of smoked herrings. He came because we are making a new game together. Imagine that  Housemarque, working with its all-time arcade hero!This is Eugene's first co-operation with an outside game developer since working with Midway Games (Cruis'n USA, 1994). Hear the man himself:"When I saw RESOGUN I couldn't believe how these Housemarque guys took Defender to a new level. I wondered... what would happen if we teamed up? Mash up old school arcade with mad voxel tech and crazed nouveau Helsinki gamers... All I know now is that it is going to be explosive".And since we promised you exclusive stuff, we have a fans-first sneak peek of Eugene playing the prototype (yes, the music and sound effects are from RESOGUN, but he's not playing RESOGUN). Watch it below!
