Brotherhood of the Antarctic Mystery

Meet Nick and Anthony! They’re brothers with a mystery. They work with instructor Mike M. as part of Game-U’s Accelerate program, and they’ve got plans – big plans!

Antarctica is a beautiful, frozen continent, full of mystery, awe, and yes, cold. We can’t be sure, but Nick and Anthony (A.K.A. Frick and Frack) may have drawn inspiration from Antarctica’s vast plains of icy mystery. Judging from some of the media files they passed along, these guys also drew inspiration from…Mario. And rolling balls with faces. And the beach. The beach? What? No, wait, seriously, guys. Antarctica. Mario. The beach. Rolling balls with faces. How are you putting all these pieces together? This is one crazy game! Which means, of course, that we’re all going to want to try it. Good thing you guys are planning to commercialize your finished design!

Anthony and Nick learn from Mike M. as they go, learning new tools like Blender, Unity, and Sculptris, getting feedback from experts, and most importantly, building their own future. Their big plans include packaging and selling games (like the mystery one) as professional game developers. Anthony loves that Game-U is supporting his and his brother’s dreams and ambitions. Game-U, for its part, loves working with Nick and Anthony to help build that future they want! It’s a win-win situation – although depending on how much influence Evil Genius Mike M.’s had over these guys, it may take players a while to figure out how to win the mystery game. But that’s half the fun of playing!

Thanks for the preview, Nick and Anthony! Keep working on that wild combination of inspiration you’ve put together. We’re looking forward to the finished build.
