Valet Parking 1989 Dev Diary

Smokey & The Bandit must've reached Sweden late because Burt Reynolds wasn't doing jack shit in 1989. He definitely wasn't hanging with Tina Turner and Janet Jackson.

when is the GOTY version gaming out?

I want to cry

lol the 3DS store can't come online soon enough....

i love how the producer says the name wrong at 1:57 (1999 instead of 1989)

I lived in LA in 1989...this is so true, there was a lot of valet parking going on.  
 
I too want to rediscover the "cool awesomeness of the 1980's!"

wow, wow, makes me want to get a DSi and support these guys. Wow

These guys look like they know the 80's well. They never left it.

You heard the man, "COOL AWESOMENESS."  Can't argue with that, folks.

So proud of my country right now.

This is prime Happy Hour QL material with Jeff in full on NDX mode.

I felt the cool awesomeness of the 80's from the trailer alone.

This was rendered out at 240*320

I hope they tighten up the graphics on level 
 
oh fuck it.

Those customers wants to get SERVED!

I was born in 1989 :D, I guess they're swe developers right? just by the accent, I will not look it up :D.

A bit from the barely-there Zordix website:
 

Zordix AB is pioneering new business models for digital content. We are developing games for the new digital download channels Nintendo DSiWare and the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo 3DS.

Hell yeah it is :D
 More DSiWare trailers please!

Actually, one more gem from the Zordix site: a list of features for the game:
 

• Park and return cars to patience impaired guests.
• One evil boss man!
• Intense and stressful gameplay.
• Set in a neon lit California 1989.
• 12 story mode levels all with their own challenges.
• Shoulder pads galore.
• 40 characters that you may or may not (n)ever have heard of.
• Mullets, mullets everywhere!
• 14 songs (quite but not like, anything you heard before).
• 18 cars, big and small with their own quirks.
• Never ending play, with or without a story.
• A nice ambulance, you will need it!

I kept waiting for this to be a joke of some sort, but then it never was one.

It looks like the Diner Dash of the valet parking... industry. 

The music in the background of this video is fuckin BUMPIN'

Oh dear... I heard that name on the Bombcast... then the NDX podcast came out.. and now I'm watching this video.
 
You know what, guys? This game IS real, and that dev team isn't composed of cleverly casted actors. They're real, too. I PLAYED a pre-release build of that game. I've been in their office. I've WORKED for their CEO at one point in time. I'm not sure whether I should be embarrassed to death or somehow kinda proud right now, but I mean... Hey, they got their business up and running and they're actually selling stuff! For.. for the DSi...
 
And for anyone with conflicted emotions because the game doesn't look that bad, I can reassure you that it actually isn't. For what it is, it's a pretty good game. And the art, especially, is great! If I'd gotten a job with them, I would've had to compete with the lead artist who made practically all the art for that game on his own, and I'm a bit ashamed to admit that he could churn prettier stuff out faster than I could hope to keep up with... So kudos to that...
 

... Guys, I'm confused! My best bet of getting back into the game development industry lies with Zordix! I practically live nextdoor to them, they're a small enough team to have use for someone like me, and I actually know the CEO! That could be a job that I actually enjoy doing, but... freaking DSi games... Why'd it have to be DSi games?! Could I live with myself??

You guys? I wanna get up in this game's guts in just the worst kind of way.

This game is also for you new young people. Fresh from the womb

Wow....just....wow.....

Driving and time management?
 
Never been done before.

What.

This makes me want a DSi

I would actually buy this game if I had a DSi. Doesn't look great, but looks like a decent enough time killer. It's also better than half the crap I've bought for my phone.

looks like a decent time waster

Why is this video so soft? Was this shot on beta on purpose?  Is that guy's hair on purpose?

System seller.

I... wha... the... WHY DOES THIS VIDEO EXIST?!

I was born in 1991 and want to learn about the "awesomeness of the 80's". This game is totally for me.

Wow. Wow. This video and game definitely advances us as a species.

Fellow Swedes, what the fuck?

Indeed.

Jeff Gerstmann, who you may know as the host of the podcast the Nintendownloadexpress, brought me here and I gotta say it was worth the trip.
