Facepunch to make game about virtual arcades

Facepunch Studios have announced another title that they’re currently working on, an aptly named game called ‘Arcade’ about… well, arcades. The game allows players to set up their own virtual arcades in which others can enter, play arcade games, earn tokens and attempt to rack up high scores.

The main reason they’re doing this is for the nostalgia feel. “We’ve got fond memories of being in arcades, trying to decide what to spend our limited tokens on, watching someone get to a stage we’ve never seen before, etc.” said Facepunch’s Ryleigh Kotash. “Even in our early tests it already feels cool to play a game with people literally & virtually watching over your shoulder. And it’d be even cooler with VR support.”

 

The aim of the game would be to spend your limited tokens to play games to earn more tokens to play the more expensive games and eventually become ‘King of the Arcade’.

 

For those with fond memories of the arcade days, this could be one to watch.
