#indiedev Interview: @Andy_Makes & @JFriedhoff of @DBAArcade on Salmon Roll #indiegame and Installations

I’d walked the first floor of Play NYC, explored the chaotic, jam-packed second floor, and I was on my way to floor 3. What I was first greeted by was a wide open space with a bunch of people holding a 2″ X 4″ piece of lumber, and staring at a wall.

Team Name: Golden Ruby Games

Team Members: Andy Wallace, Jane Friedhoff, Michael Christatos, and Nicolas Cinquerani

Elevator Pitch: In the aptly titled "Hermit Crab in Space" you play as a hermit crab...suddenly transported to space. As with any vulnerable crustacean, the crab has little to protect itself from the harsh, cold realities of dark space: enemy ships & asteroids mean certain doom for our hermit crab hero. Luckily, the crab is quickly given a gun: using the salvaged parts of the his enemies, the player slowly builds his ship for protection. Only by evolving his ship is our clawed hero going to get home.
