0104 Mechanimals and BouncyBrain Creative Director Guy Bareli
0Guy Bareli (A.K.A. Guy Bar'ely) is the Creative Director of BouncyBrain Games, the home of the in-development game Mechanimals. Guy was kind enough to come on and share a very passionate portrait of what BouncyBrain is putting together.
From the MechAnimals Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bouncybrain/mechanimals) :
"We are a team of experienced Artists from the feature animation world (Kung Fu Panda, Mario Movie, Minions) that broke lose to make indie games! Our debut title is a Procedural Beat 'Em Up featuring Cute Tiny Animal Mech Pilots. Think Castle Crashers meets Mario 3D world... but with MECHS! Mechanimals feels like it's based on a big-budget Hollywood animated movie but with an edgy tone that would never get approved by the big studios."
We also chat Guy's Three: XCom: Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within, Deus Ex, and The Arcade Beat 'em Ups of the 90s.
