Tuna Technologies announces Cletus Clay, a side-scrolling platform brawler that will feature ClayMation graphics. The game is being developed for PC as well as Xbox LIVE arcade. Why ClayMation? Game designer and animator Anthony Flack explains: "There are a number of reasons why I decided to work with clay and not CG, and I'll try to explain my reasoning in more detail in a later post, but basically it comes down to this: I like to experiment with unconventional methods. And also I think clay models are really neat." As for gameplay, word is: "As far as genres go, it's an action-platformer of the old-school side-scrolling variety, so if you think of games like Contra and Metal Slug you won't be too far off the mark. I'm a die-hard action game fan and I like those kinds of straightforward, fast-paced games where you get to run all over the place making everything explode without having to worry too much about learning complex rule-sets, managing inventory items or getting hopelessly lost."
