Two Tribes, the Dutch game developer behind "Worms World Party" for the Nokia
N-Gage and
Capcom's "Toki Tori", today announces that it has commenced development on
"Garfield's A Tail
of Two Kitties" for the Nintendo DS portable videogame system. "Garfield's
A Tail of Two Kitties"
sees our favorite feline hunting for lasagna in this platform game for the
Nintendo DS.
"An important consideration for the game design of this game has been to
stay as true to the
Garfield movies as possible in both look and feel." says Collin van Ginkel,
Creative Director at Two
Tribes. "Both screens and the built-in microphone will be used to enhance
gameplay and to ensure a
fresh game experience."
"Garfield's A Tail of Two Kitties" is a platform game which uses 3D
graphics, while the gameplay will
be a combination of 2D and 3D elements. The game is designed for all
ages. "Our target audience is
people who know Garfield from the comics as well as a generally younger
audience that got
introduced to Garfield by the first movie." says Martijn Reuvers, Managing
Director at Two Tribes.
"This, combined with the wide appeal of the Nintendo DS, means we will
cater for both young and
old when creating this game. We therefore chose for an accessible game
design with hidden depth
for the more experienced players."
"Garfield's A Tail of Two Kitties" will be developed for Octagon Entertainment
and published by The
Game Factory. The release of "Garfield's A Tail of Two Kitties" for
the Nintendo DS will coincide with
the release of the second Garfield movie, which is scheduled to be released
this year.
