At a Glance: Robot Loves Kitty

Robot Loves Kitty is a wife and husband duo of self-taught programmers of of New Hampshire. With a few games under their belt, the duo is now not only kicking it up a notch with their latest game, Upsilon Circuit, but are also working on a Raspberry Pi-based handheld game console.

Upsilon Circuit is the game you want to play, but just once. Okay, to be honest, it's the game that you can only play once. Combining spectator interaction with a bit of roguelike action, possibly even co-op in status, players have the opportunity to be one of the selected players to login and see if they can last through what the spectators throw at them.

Mini Q&A
Answers provided by Calvin Goble, God Wizard

Why do you make games?

In the year 2002 my wife and I were in a horrible accident involving a Super Mario Bros. 3 cartridge, a TRS 80 and a malfunctioning microwave oven! We were nearly killed, but somehow we survived and connected with a mysterious power known to us as the GameForce. With our new found power we are able to make cool videogames and also to fight crime.

Why should people play titles from Robot Loves Kitty?

In an alternate dimension the GameForce Squad fights the evil Boreomaticon for control of the Universe. When you play our videogames you release magical videogame powers into the Vertaportal which we have programed into all of our games. This feeds the 5 GameForce Squad Vertasuits and aids their victory against the mighty Boreomaticon and his undead army.

What element of game design do you hold above all others?

More than anything, we need people to have fun playing our games, or the Vertaportal gains no posimotion particles and Boreomaticon will take innocent lives in the alter dimension. So our powers focus on fun and videogame enjoyment.

Upsilon circuit looks like a diablo/rogue like and that sounds pretty good (and frustrating lol). Is it supposed to have retro style sfx or are those placeholders?

RobotLovesKitty4010d ago

Yep, placeholders, thats a pretty old version of the game. Some of the final sound effects are purposefully 8bit-ish though.

FITgamer4011d ago

I'm assuming this F2P since you only get one chance?

firedude36634011d ago

I'm curious as to what that Mario Bros. accident was...

GiroSoul4011d ago

curious as to what they will create with "GameForce" power :D

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio77d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing77d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9277d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit77d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing77d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9276d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
