Play Presidential Prize Fight

Watch the trailer if you haven’t already.

 

The interesting thing about this game is that it’s not just one person vs. the computer, it is everyone playing for Obama vs. everyone playing for McCain! The results have real-time impact on the game’s electoral map and game play. There are also fun facts throughout in order to increase your knowledge of the electoral college - how it works and why the battleground states are so important. 

In case Zach didn’t already mention this, I think this is one of the first times that everyone at Portland had a hand in one project. Justin and Zach did all of the face and body animation. Cory did the background and the “Cheering Presidents Mug.” He also did the line art for the t-shirt, mugs, and stickers and Matt Mantooth created all of the products. Mantooth and Kammer worked on the design of the landing page, and of course Mark Johnson developed the game play. You would have to create an algorithm in order to figure out how many algorithms Johnson created for this game. 

We just hope you have as much fun playing it as we did making it!

Presidential Prizefight
Written by Zach in News

This is the trailer for our game.  Danny Mcknight did a swell job putting it together in record time.  Cory Godbey contributed his significant voice talents.  He is extremely dedicated to his craft.  He insisted that we tie him to a post and and tear up pictures of kittens right in front of him. Next, we drove around in rush hour traffic. He stored up his anger, Matt Silver turned on the mic, and magic happened.  Anyway, feel free to send the trailer to friends or post it, and make sure you play the game, because we all slaved over it.  If you don’t play it then we are no longer friends.  I hate to pull out the big threats but it’s a pretty big deal and I think it’s come to that.
