I guess Space Giraffe sold well enough for Jeff to have another go at Live...

Space Giraffe creator now planning an Xbox 360 version of Gridrunner++

 

October 4, 2007 - After baffling some and delighting others with mental shooter Space Giraffe, Jeff Minter is now planning to bring an updated version of his psychedelic PC shooter Gridrunner++ to Xbox Live Arcade.

 

According to Minter's blog, he's already working on the game and is busy modifying it for Xbox 360, specifically adjusting its aspect ratio (widescreen) and ensuring that its original mouse controls are translated well to the 360 pad.

 

Minter added: "I'm changing and extending the gameplay; it'll be a much more involved game than the PC-only predecessor. I'm getting all the gameplay working first then I'll overhaul the graphics; we'll likely go for algo generated 3D shapes rather than the hand-drawn sprites of the PC original."

 

Obviously there's no news of a release date or anything, but we'll keep an eye on Minter's latest project to see if it's shaping up to be as crazy as Space Giraffe.

Glad to hear that. I like Space Giraffe and even though I have Gridrunner++ I'd buy an updated version for the 360

Space Giraffe gets the MMF seal of approval, so I'm sure Gridrunner++ will be AWESOME. I can't wait!

I played the trial version tonight for about 3 minutes. I hated it. It had way too much going on onscreen that had nothing to do with the actual game.
