The History of P[N]R

I. The Beginning

Project [N] ReSource was created and came online in late December of 2005. It was created by Tommy Kraft and Pablo Aizpiri as a place for game enthusiast of all types to come, be they gamers or the serious game creator. Since it's creation, Pablo has moved on to other things. In his absence we came across Jon Warner and Peter Bloomfield. Jon, Peter, and Tommy were the main admins of the site and were the ones that kept it up. P[N]R tried its hardest to be a game developer, but it just couldn't get off the ground.

II. P[N]R Becomes Project [N] ReSource Films

In the realization that game development just wasn't an attainable goal for P[N]R, the admins decided to make the hard decision to totatlly change focus and direction for the team. Project [N] ReSource changed over to Project [N] ReSource Films and now focuses soley on the production mainly of live action films and some machinima. In this rebranding, the core team also changed (essentially disappeared). With an extremely sad heart, we said goodbye to Jon as an admin and Peter as an admin and our right-hand man. P[N]R pretty much just became a nom de plume for me.

III. The Games

  • Project Sparrow
    • About:
      • Project Sparrow was a 2D side-scrolling platformer much akin to titles such as Duke Nukem and Commander Keen. The game was put on hold to create Yokai Valley for the Game Maker competition.
    • Story
      • The year is 2115 and you are part of the elite S.P.A.R.O. Squad who investigate (once manned) abandoned Space Stations. When communications are lost with a space station, the SPARO Squad are on the case.
      • On December 5th 2115 you enter the Space Station “Adonis”. The Adonis was a computer research facility in orbit around Jupiter, but is now a lifeless vessel. The only sign of life was an SOS signal on the 15th of June, with no communication since.

  • Yokai Valley:
    • About:
      • Yokai Valley was the first game to be released by Project [N] ReSource. It's based on the RTS genre, yet maintains its own style of gameplay. The game was created with Game Maker in order to be entered into a competition that was sponsored by the creators of Game Maker. It was released on Tuesday, April 29th.
    • Story:
      • Deep in the heart of Yokai Valley lives a small village. Things had always been peaceful, and though the villagers had long known of the Yokai, the giants in the valley, they had never thought much of them. They just carried on with their everyday lives, until one day when the Yokai emerged from their hidden caves and mercilessly destroyed the village.
      • There were not many survivors, however those who did escape were scattered throughout the valley. The survivors of the attack formed the 12 great villages of Yokai. Now, they are prepared to fight.

      • This small game was our second project at Project[N]ReSource. It is a very compact and slick version of the classic board game of Reversi (aka "Othello"). It is a game of strategy and tactics for 2 players. This game can be played in 1 or 2 player mode, and features three difficulty levels, changeable artwork, and some wicked sounds!
