Announcing Yellowbonnet from Valiant Galaxy Associates
We are happy to announce the inauguration of our new line of
minigames. These games will be priced inexpensively and allow us to
explore other genres and time periods from our main line of Valiant
Galaxy products. Fresh from the amazing efforts of our beta test team
comes Yellowbonnet.
Yellowbonnet is the first minigame in Valiant Galaxy Associates’
series of Western games. In the game, the player takes on the role of
a new arrival in the western town of Yellowbonnet in the year 1885.
As a newcomer, you need income. There are six jobs hidden about the
map, as well as objects for the finding that can be sold for money.
Complete all six jobs in the shortest amount of time, and gain as much
money as possible. But be warned: Yellowbonnet holds dangers as well.
Mad bulls, vicious outlaws, and drunken cowboys can all pose a threat
as you progress through the town.
Yellowbonnet uses a map mode for exploration and movement and a menu
mode for interaction and combat. The map is laid out on a simple
seven by seven grid and the town has twenty locations, and five main
streets. As the player navigates they will find characters to
interact with, locations to look at and search, and possibly items to
buy or sell. The controls are simple, and the gameplay quick. A
typical game can be completed in 15-45 minutes.
Yellowbonnet is completely self-voicing. The game is menu-driven,
and there is no need to worry about being able to place your mouse in
an exact position. Documentation is included with the game itself,
and you can access our online documentation from inside the game. The
game is forgiving, and if you must take a phone call or step away from
your computer, your Wild West adventure will still be waiting. With
over three dozen characters, twenty locations, and a high degree of
random chance, the game is extremely replayable.
Yellowbonnet is our first game to utilize the GuideDog Games service.
GuideDog is a revolutionary games distribution service designed to act
as an interface between game developers and visually impaired players
(similar to Steam). The service is operated by Dennis Towne, owner
and operator of Alter Aeon, and uses the same credit card encryption
and account management system that Alter Aeon uses. Once you have an
account with GuideDog, you can purchase any of our future games
through it with no trouble. Account creation is quick and easy, and
purchasing a game from start to finish takes about five minutes.
Yellowbonnet needs heroes, won’t you step up and be counted?
