![]() We went through some hard drug addiction period. How have you both handled the love that your game has been receiving? Your debut title, Bulb Boy, has won 12 awards since its launch in October 2015! 12 awards! From “most creative” to “greatest art direction” and everything in between, it comes as no surprise to those that have played this title that the awards are well deserved. That led us to forming the official entity in June 2015, called Bulbware, to honor our first game (Bulbware = Bulb Boy + Software). In June 2014 we launched a Kickstarter campaign and eventually got totally funded by YouTuber Pewdiepie. ![]() For those unfamiliar with your company, can you provide some background as to how it was formed?īulb Boy started as our after-hour project 2013 and we created a one room demo. Now I cannot imagine working outside the industry. Since I played for the first time I knew I had to learn how games are made and I tried to create my own using BASIC on Commodore I was 11 at that time. I always wanted to pursue art & animation, however creating levels for Doom, Warcraft 2 and making simple games in Klick & Play was my hobby since I had a PC (which is long).Īrtur: Yes. Growing up, did you always want to pursue a career in the gaming industry? Szymon – Atari XE Super Turbo and Boulder Dash was my first beloved game. What was the first console/game you ever owned? 13 years later, Artur reached out to Szymon asking “Do you still want to make this game?” We love playing game since early 80s and we tried to make our first adventure game back in 2000 (high school period) and failed miserably. Both of us form the strange entity that is Bulbware. We are Artur (code guy) and Szymon (art guy). Before we get into it, could you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got involved with the gaming industry? With plenty of humor, freight, and innovative puzzles, this is one title that is worthy of all the accolades it has received since releasing back in October 2015.Īrtur and Szymon, thank you so much for speaking with The Switch Effect. Bulb Boy is a 2D point-and-click adventure that will have you using your glass head to save your family from the evil and monsters that have appeared. Artur and Szymon are the founders of Bulbware, a two-man indie game studio located in Krakow, Poland. ![]() You might be familiar with their debut game, Bulb Boy, which released on multiple consoles and just recently added the Nintendo Switch to their console library. So, if you'd like it on your tablet then, hopefully, you should know what to do by now (spread the word).Joining The Switch Effect on today’s Industry Interviews are two very special guests: Artur Mikolajczyk and Szymon Lukasik. Well, presumably it needs to be funded first for that to happen. Oh, and to answer the burning question: Yes, Bulb Boy is coming to iOS and Android, eventually. You can get copies of the game and other goodies in return.Īt the time of writing only a quarter of the $40,000 funding goal has been reached, and there's only nine days left. If you want to support Bulb Boy by spreading the word or by pledging towards its Kickstarter, then go for it. It's very much like what you'd imagine if Botanicula creator Amanita Design made a horror game.Īnyway, enough blabbering. The animations and artwork are particularly superb, complementing the twisted world of the game. But it would be even better if you play the PC demo, if you can. Obviously, you could find all of this out yourself by watching the Kickstarter video above. Many cute moments are had as he grows scared of his surroundings - you'll just want to give him a hug. You'll need to solve simple item-based puzzles to help Bulb Boy on his way to find out what happened to his family. Gored spiders, twisted limbs, and gross insects feature across this adventure. Scared and alone, you guide Bulb Boy through the horrific carnival that has overtaken the Electric Forest. The game kicks off as a nightmarish darkness takes over their house, stealing Bulb Boy's companions. Bulb Boy lives in the Electric Forest with his GRANDPAraffin and Mothdog. The light source-based lore of the game fascinates me, too. Sure, it's a 2D point-and-click horror game about a boy with a glowing head, but I love that. This makes me sad as Bulb Boy is an endearing little thing. Otjam Games has had Bulb Boy up on Kickstarter for the better part of a month now, and it's struggling to reach its funding goal. ![]()
