HistoryThe Making of Actually People
Development on Duel Major began in late fall 2013 when Spencer Johnson (Programmer) pitched the Idea of a Smash-style fighter to the RPI Game Development Club. Reginald Franklin III (Artist) was the first to join the team, soon followed by Corey Byrne (Programmer) and Chris Cloutier (programmer). After 6 month hiatus from August through January, development began again in February 2015, Kevan DuPont (Artist) joined the team, and Actually People Games was formed. Duel Major Actually People's first and current project is Duel Major, a Platform-Fighting game where players duke it out as personifications of college majors. Inspired by the Super Smash Bros. Series, Duel Major seeks to bridge the gap between casual-oriented and intense fighting games. By removing typically over-centralizing mechanics, and giving every attack/action more versatility, Duel Major provides a low barrier to entry for people new to the fighting game genre, and enough emergent complexity to engage more advanced players Events and Festivals Being a team made entirely of Rensselaer students and recent alumni, Actually People is very active in their local community. Duel Major has been shown at both the Rensselaer Game Showcase and RPI's GameFest for the past two years. Projects |
