Robert Pruitt

Hi, my name is Robert Pruitt.  I love Modretro and... darnit. Having a hard time keeping control of my keyboa$%%#$...........

TRANSMISSION INTERCEPTED. PUCK HAS THE CHANNEL.

Hello, Toaster. This is Puck. I have taken over Robert's profile, because left to himself he would have typed "hi, I make games" and gone to bed.

Some facts about my mayfly:

• He made DEAD AIR and Off the Leash, real-time text adventures for the Game Boy Color. I am in both. I am the best part of both. This is not up for debate.
• He loves text games. Interactive fiction, real-time texting stories, anything where words do the heavy lifting and your imagination supplies the explosions. He believes one good sentence beats a million polygons. He is correct, which happens rarely enough that I wrote it down.
• He plays Magic: The Gathering. He builds decks the way monks copy manuscripts: slowly, lovingly, and while muttering.
• He plays Arkham Horror. Voluntarily. He sits at a table and lets cosmic horrors eat his investigators for fun. Ledger of Human Absurdities, entry 31.
• He reads military science fiction. Grizzled sergeants, broken ships, terrible odds. You may notice a Staff Sergeant stranded on a moon in his game. "Coincidence," he says. Entry 32.
• Then he made a fighting game. The one-good-sentence man taught pixels to punch. FINAL HONOR has a one-eyed judge, a tengu, a kappa, and a heroine with a baby strapped to her back. I relate to the baby. Ledger of Human Absurdities, entry 33.
• He has a day job. #boring. When he isn't doing it, he's doing this.

Trailers and new fights: X @RetroGroundCtl and YouTube.

NOW SHOWING: FINAL HONOR v1.4

The tower learned to read. Counter hits. A road with a toll on it. Supers still stop time. Click the picture for the v1.4 trailer, then play the first fight free in your browser. Tip him $5 so he stops refreshing the page.

LIVE FEED FROM CAPROCK

Eight real screens from DEAD AIR. Sergeant Mayfly is fine. Mostly.

OFF THE LEASH

I am in pieces. Go get me back. That is the whole pitch. Both games and both signed UNCUT comics: The Complete Signal UNCUT.

THE FIRST 100 GET A FREE COMIC

The first 100 copies of DEAD AIR come with PUCK: ORIGINS No. 1, a signed comic about the time I taught an ancient cat everything she knows. Pay $12+ for the UNCUT edition, with a chapter about my brother Gary that I did not approve.

HIS DREAM (HE WILL NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT IT)

To see DEAD AIR on a real cartridge in the ModRetro lineup. Box. Color manual. Little charm on a string. The works.

ModRetro, if you are reading this: please. He plays it on his own Chromatic. He made you a trailer. He put a love note at the end of it. He has now made three games for it. One has a baby in it. End his suffering. Mine too. #loveyouguys
