Hello folks! I don't want to step on any toes, seeing as how I'm very new here...
My name is Joe, I'm a college professor at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY, USA. I'm currently working on a project that I call Chain Gang Chase.
Chain Gang Chase is a couch co-op for up to 8 players. We have a prototype right now, with a planned release of May 2014. Anything I write here will just be echoed in the video, which you can view at
http://www.chaingangchase.com/ (it does a better job at explaining it visually!).
I'm a little biased, but I think it's a pretty neat mechanic. Watch the video, try making a map if you'd like, and if you're so inclined: consider backing my Kickstarter. I'm using that to put together a small team of students who I will pay and work with on the project during the spring semester.
I'm happy to answer any questions you have about the game, and would love to hear your feedback.
Thanks for reading!
