FlubberKnuckle Games

My group is currently searching for capable artists, PROGRAMMERS, sound engineers, and level designers.  We are all relatively inexperienced but have self taught ourselves quite a bit over these last few years.

Our lead programmer Ryan really needs some help because he is our only legitimate programmer.  I have some skills in it but not enough to make really make a dent in the code we need to create and run.

We're really looking for everything in between as well.

I’m currently working on the Design Document for Flipz’ menu layout.  It’s a document that details all of the game’s menus and user interface.  I must provide a description of each and every process of the menus from the way they move, to the sounds they make, to each of the transitions that occur in between.

Making this document is daunting work to tell the truth.  It requires a lot of meticulousness, time and effort.  The left brain and the right brain are in heavy use as you have to know exactly how you want the menus to look and what you want them to do.  You also have to know how to put all this creativity into document form which is where the left brain comes in at.  All in all the point being that this part of the project is difficult but the more I do of it the more I get into it and the more fun I have.

FlubberKnuckle Games is a game development group that was unofficially started sometime back in 2007/2008.  An official name was given to the studio in 2008 and it was called Digital Dragon Studios.  FlubberKnuckle's founders include three men other than myself and they are Mark Hawkins, Ryan Baylis, and Alex Hughes.  Our first project was to create a fighting game named Pangaea and we spent months designing characters, movesets, the world, and fleshing out the story for the first game and the two subsequent sequels; then we realized that we didn't even know how to make videogames which brings us to now.

FlubberKnuckle has gone through many changes since then but now I feel like we have a really good base and are truly ready to get our feet into the industry.  Our new group is bolstered with the talents of Lloyd Yancy, Greg Shavers, Leland Stein, Jaloni Brooks, and William Brown.  Other members are also on the way and we're always scouting for talent. Our first release will be the card game Flipz which started of as a tabletop game but will actually be our first digital release (in place of Game Alpha which is going to take more skill.)  More on that later though :).
