BLUE BARREL GAMES
About Us
As a volunteer game development company,
Blue Barrel Games operates by two primary ethos:
ETHOS #1: To give people opportunity in the industry they might otherwise not have.
Whether it’s giving young people and students a foot in the door, anyone recently laid off looking for pro-bono work, or inspiring people to try a new creative endeavor. This company and project will welcome anyone and everyone with a creative drive, willing to step up.
ETHOS #2: Potential financial gain will never be a creative driving force, ever.
If we make money or find funding…fantastic! But finances will not sway creative decisions. We would love to support anyone who contributes to the game through paying for training, buying software licenses, equipment...etc. All too often, if a game doesn’t have a certain financial return, it’s considered a failure and studios close, people lose their jobs… Let’s change that.
The Project
Blue Barrel Games is currently in development on their first story-driven adventure game. Dubbed Project: HOME, this ambitious game features challenging puzzles, unique mechanics, and a magical world wide enough to get lost in.
The Story
Players will follow Merry and her faithful companion, Duke, as she navigates the turbulence of moving to a new town. However, not all goes according to plan when her two beloved cats escape into another world. Merry must confront her own fears and bring peace to this chaotic land if she is to have any hope of making it home safely again.
The Inspiration
Based on Descanso Gardens in Los Angeles CA, we aim to pay homage to this peaceful and extraordinary place.
