The British comedy legends from Monty Python have decided to bring their characters and concepts back to the world of games, and the newly-anointed Python license-holders at Zattikka have chosen Facebook as their platform."The Ministry of Silly Games"uses terminology silly walk fans will immediately understand, and Zattikka hopes that a sufficient number of them will like the upcoming release's premise enough to sign up for a beta test onMinistryofSillyGames.com.
"I guess my visuals have always been a bit videogamey,"Python member Terry Gilliam said in a press release,"so it's brilliant seeing them actually in games at last. The Ministry of Silly Games looks like what was inside my head when I was creating all that iconic imagery. I know the game will prove massively popular when it launches."
The first MP game release in 13 years (if you don't count thisbrowser-based"Spamalot"game, I guess) will include infamous eater Mr. Creosote, along with a round of Russian roulette with a Twit and animals in catapults.
"The Ministry of Silly Games brings Monty Python characters and scenes to life like never before,"member Terry Jones said."For years, people have wondered what it would be like to catapult livestock at French fortresses, or play Russian Roulette with an Upper Class Twit. Well now they finally can, thanks to The Ministry of Silly Games."
Given the size of MP's international fanbase that's been cultivated over the decades, I have no doubt in my mind that Zattikka will find a few enthusiastic testers out there to tap for debugging purposes and ample feedback. As for what's actually inside the games, there's not a great deal of info on the Zattikka site yet, but I'd love to see some new, more contemporary material written by the troupe that satirizes Facebook.
