The game prototypes created from Double Fine’s Amnesia Fortnight 2014 are now available on the Humble Bundle store. As with other bundles, this one also includes the soundtracks for the games. The games include Dear Leader, Mnemonic, Steed, and Little Pink Best Buds. These are not full or complete games, but prototypes that were created during this year’s Amnesia Fortnight.
For those of you not familiar with Amnesia Fortnight, it’s a two week long event held within Double Fine. The company selects a handful of game pitches from company employees. Once the projects are chosen, the employees who came up with each selected pitch is made the leader of a small team. These small teams spend the next two weeks building a prototype of the game idea. It’s a chance for employees to gain some experience designing and creating a game, and it allows them to see their own ideas being formed into an actual game.
This year’s Amnesia Fortnight included guest team lead Pendleton Ward, the man behind the TV show Adventure Time. The two week event was also recorded and broadcast as a documentary series by 2 Player Productions, that you can watch on Double Fine’s Youtube channel. It’s an interesting set of game prototypes and it’s also a great way to grab the soundtracks to these unique games. For those of you interested in trying out some interesting game experiments, this may be worth a look. The Amnesia Fortnight 2014 Bundle will be available for the next few weeks on the Humble Bundle store.
