You’re probably thinking, ”What the flock is FLOCK!?” Well,
today you’re going to find out because we have a little surprise for you in the
free issue of Qore today. Below are a couple of videos that show some of the
quirky and original gameplay you’ll see in the game.
I want to introduce you to one of my co-workers, Robby Zinchak. Don’t let his young looks
fool you. He’s an up-and-coming associate producer extraordinaire who’s ready to answer
all your questions regarding this truly unique, downloadable game. Just don’t ask him to show
you his ID. (Just kidding Robby.)
Hi! This is my first time posting here, so I figure I should introduce myself first
My name is Robby, and I’m the Associate Producer on
FLOCK! here at
Capcom. As mentioned previously
on this blog, the new episode of Qore (
available
today!) includes both a video feature on FLOCK! and a fully playable demo!
The premise of FLOCK! is simple: you’re a UFO (the ‘Flocker’)
which seeks to abduct animals. Through the levels, you’ll abduct these cute animals by
herding them into your Motherflocker (yes, really, we named the ship that :P). But it’s not a
simple point A to point B operation – all sorts of peril and surprises lie
between the animals and their destination. For instance, in one level you’ll play, there are
crops between the sheep and the ship, so you’ll have to make crop circles with your
UFO’s depressor beam to make a path for them to cross (finally we know the true purpose
behind all those crop circles!). Through the game, you’ll have to contend with numerous
challenges. Among these challenges, your flock will face pits, scarecrows, water, bridges, and even
trampolines that’ll send them flying!
The full game also includes co-op gameplay, so you can bring a friend in to help you herd the
animals. In co-op levels, you’ll have to work together to get your objectives met. For
instance, one player may need to lift a gate while another player herds the animals through the
gate. It’s a lot of fun, so look forward to it! One of our more unique features is the
ability to create your own maps with our built in map-editor. We use the same tool to make the
official levels, so you’ll have a lot of flexibility and power in the kind of maps
you’re able to make. Plus, you can even upload your maps online where you’ll be able to
share them with other players.
Each of the levels (over 50!) is replayable – there are bonuses to beating
the map quickly and also beating the map perfectly by collecting all animals. As you beat levels,
you’ll unlock new abilities to use and items to place in the editor. Sometimes you’ll
need to unlock something later in the game that’ll help you beat a level earlier in the game
perfectly. Between all the levels and modes included, we think you’ll be getting a lot of
gameplay value out of this downloadable game!
So, hopefully that’s a good introduction to FLOCK!. Don’t forget to download the FLOCK!
Winter Qore Demo — you’ll be among the first to ever play the game! It includes a full
six levels, with three of the four animals unlocked to play with. We’ve even included the
level editor to make your own levels! I’ll keep an eye out for comments here and reply where
I’m able to. Keep your eyes out for more FLOCK! news in the coming weeks
– we’ll have lots more information
coming soon!
