What do you show in 7 minutes?

So the thought on our minds is that it's going to be much easier to come up with some great screenshots showing how great this game is going to be rather than having the game play be shown.  So we've veen working on adding some character art as well as working up a new 1-pager for Tuesday's demo.

We've been hitting some snags in this process, but I really do think that we are learning a lot about the game-making process.

Here's some of the good stuff we've got so far:

Game Theme Overview: 

Office Heroes is an energetic light-hearted variation on the classic fighting-style video games that incorporates office supplies and environments.  A fast paced fight between two players with office supplies as characters and weapons ends when one player has defeated the other twice.  The Office Heroes characters are a parody of super heroes of our culture in the form of objects you use each day at work or in home office.
