What do you get when you stick Jose Perez III, Matt Brunner and Jim Deal from Airtight Games along with Morgan Gray and Keiji Inafune of Capcom in a dimly lit room and have them talk about the upcoming “vertical cover” jetpack shooter, Dark Void?

You get this developer diary! Enjoy!

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this one. It has the potential to be either really awesome or really craptastic. The flying looks like a lot of fun.

One question, though: who forgot to pay the electric bill?

“Hey guys, I have an idea! The game’s called Dark Void, right? So what if we stick all of the devs in…get this…a dark void to do the video? Brilliant, right?” This is how I envision the pitch for this video’s production having gone. Then they brought in the hookers on unicycles and the mountains of cocaine.

…What?

I never said my vision of how the games industry worked was a particularly realistic one, did I?
