A couple of indie gaming news snippets have caught my eye today. First up, Montreal-based developer Studio Archcraft has just revealed that it's switching development of promising RPG Project Exile from GBA to DS.
It's an action-based take on the genre with a distinctly old-skool (i.e. early-nineties) look. Screenshots of the game have been drawing favourable comparisons with the likes of Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana. From the website, it looks as though there are only six development staff including just one programmer - and they're promising to deliver by Q1 2007.
Secondly, I really like the look of Bubble Thing, a shareware puzzler just released by Queasy Games. Bubble Thing was written during the 2006 Toronto Indie Gaming Jam held last month. The annual get-together sees a bunch of programmers turning up to write full playable games over the course of just three days. Imagine the Red Bull consumption...
