Cloning Clyde for XBox 360 Live Arcade was released today. This is the first console game that I’ve worked on, so I’m pretty excited to see how the gaming community receives it. So far the reviews have been positive.

The creator of the game, John Nielson, was interviewed over at IGN earlier in the week. He had some interesting things to say about the premise of the game.

Who is Clyde? He’s the dumbest person imaginable. That’s all I can say about him. Try to imagine the dumbest guy you can imagine, that’s Clyde. He’s this guy who very willingly, voluntarily accepts to be part of an experiment, where he gets cloned a bunch of times. It’s part of a huge company that is illegally cloning humans. The experiment goes bad and he ends up getting cloned hundreds of time. The company locks down the building and tries to hold him inside, and so now he and all his clones, which are just a little bit more dumb than him, need to escape. That’s the story behind the game.

In addition to being creative, John’s also a great guy to work with and made a great leader for the whole Cloning Clyde team.

Clyde’s also a very fun game to play, so if you’ve got an XBox 360, go to the Live Arcade and download it.
