In a press release sent to us here at Pixelated Geek, LOOT Interactive, known for being a porting studio and streaming App creator, has taken the leap into indie game publishing. At E3 2015, LOOT Interactive is going to unveil their first three indie games to be published to the Playstation 4. The games, Velocibox, Whispering Willows, and Back to Bed are available on Steam right now, and if you look them up, you’ll see that they’re all very different kinds of games. Personally, things like this are exciting to me because it means a wider variety on PS4. Now hopefully some of these titles will go to Xbox One and Wii U. In any case, hit the jump to check out the release.
LOOT Interactive breaks into indie game publishing with Whispering Willows, Back to Bed and Velocibox for PlayStation®
Culver City, Calif. – May 27 – LOOT Interactive, formerly known as LOOT Entertainment, is proud to reveal its new status as an independent game publisher, as well as to take the wraps off its initial game lineup for the summer: Whispering Willows, Back to Bed and Velocibox. All three titles will be on display at this year’s E3 in Los Angeles for hands-on press demonstrations at the IndieCade Showcase at E3, South Hall Booth 601.
LOOT Interactive’s E3 presence reflects the company’s mission as a newly independent game publisher – to seek out memorable indie games that set themselves apart with unique, challenging gameplay, and bring them to new audiences on broader platforms, such as PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®Vita.
“This has been a long time coming, but LOOT Interactive is finally ready to declare its independence as an indie game publisher,” said Co-Founder and Managing Director, David Sterling. “We’re ready to kick off E3 with a strong showing of launch games to set the stage for a very aggressive release schedule of fantastic new indie titles through 2015… and beyond!”
LOOT is formally unveiling its next three game titles for PlayStation®4, PlayStation®3, and PlayStation®Vita, all of which are scheduled for release later this Summer:
Whispering Willows – Developed by NightLight Interactive, this beautiful 2D adventure game tells a horror-themed tale from the perspective of a female protagonist with hand-painted artwork and a haunting soundtrack;
Back to Bed – Developed by Bedtime Digital Games, this whimsical puzzle game tasks players with guiding a sleepwalker safely home through a surreal dream world inspired by the artwork of M.C. Escher, Salvador Dali and René Magritte;
Velocibox – Developed by Shawn Beck Games, this unforgivingly tough endless runner game challenges players to safely guide a speeding box through an increasingly diabolical obstacle course
TL;DR
- LOOT Entertainment is now LOOT Interactive
- LOOT is now officially an Indie Game Publisher
- Velocibox, Whispering Willows, and Back to Bed are the first three games to be published on PS4
- All three games will be released later this year
