Nintendo Life: What plans do you have for the Wii U eShop?

Eric Boosman: We have a couple of games planned that really take advantage of the Wii U's unique asymmetrical control possibilities and offer up some fresh gameplay.
One combines the craziness of games like Godzilla Destroy All Monsters and Power Stone for a fresh take on a Rampage-style game of multiplayer city destruction, with a bit of Earth Defense Force providing a completely different way to play the game.

The first we have planned, though, is a zombie defense game taking some classic arcade gameplay from games like Rampart, Missile Command and twin stick shooters, throwing in some tower defense/RTS style base building and a huge horde of zombies at you and your friends, a small band of heroic survivors. It will be up to you to decide how best to defend your base, whether building up auto defensive fortifications, using skill based defensive weapons, or wading out into the thick of things. Team up with friends and do it all!

Much of the tech we developed with our game Attack of the Wall Street Titan will be reusable in both of these games, making them quicker to implement and iterate on, helping us focus on making the game great instead of reinventing the wheel. We actually offer our enemy spawner system, Killer Waves, and our Master Audio plugin on the Unity Asset Store, so other devs can benefit from the time we put in developing these tools. If any of your readers are aspiring developers on a shoestring budget, we also have Killer Waves Lite, a free version to help them get set up quickly and as a way to give back to the fantastic Unity 3D community.
