Shotgun Sunrise was the first game we made together – Joe Wintergreen-Arthur, Matt Pierson, Aaron Ellsworth, James Benson, and a whole bunch of guys from the Penny-Arcade forums. The world’s first cooperative multiplayer vehicular objective-based zombie Western. A Source engine mod. These days, if you want to play it, your best bet to get a game going would be to hook up with some guys through the ModDB profile or maybe the Official Steam Group.
“Fan-goddamn-tastic…I love this mod so much”
-Podcast 17
“…probably one of the most hilarious mods I’ve ever played”.
-JoshuaC, creator of TF2’s Arena_Watchtower
“…going down the hall to your QA organisation is easy, but the most talented people you’re going to find halfway around the world, developing some crazy… co-op zombie Western.”
-Gabe Newell
SCREENSHOTS CONCEALED IN SPOILERShotgun Sunrise had a super interesting development process, in that it was relatively open – we didn’t have a site, just a thread on the Penny-Arcade forums, and we used that to discuss everything about development as we went along. Also, anyone who rocked up to the thread was able to contribute – the general system was, if you made something, and you sent it to us, it would go in the game. It worked out pretty well for us.
The credits of the mod as released are as follows – however, we’re almost certainly missing a bunch of people because at the time, we rarely had the presence of mind to write these things down, and there were a lot of them.
Everyone whose name I don’t know (so most of these guys) are credited by their name on the Penny-Arcade forums.

Vroom! wrote:Vroom is an iOS game that you can and totally should buy on the App Store, and is our first commercial product as well as our first app. It’s a racing and vehicular-zombie-flattening game based on our Half-Life 2 modification, Shotgun Sunrise. The game was developed over roughly four months, on a budget of $0.00. Maybe less. Probably less. It is built on the Unreal Development Kit.
In Vroom you’ll drive the Shotgun Sunrise truck around three (so far) tracks, revelling in your extermination of loathesome undead.
We’re hoping you enjoy the game. If you don’t, though, tell us why, so that we can make it better. It’s the only way we’ll learn.

If anyone has vast, untapped potential for smarm, it's that guy.
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
Give it back. You're a dinosaur.
It doesn't even fit.
(I don't suppose you need a writer. :P)
edit: we might much later on, maybe
They give hugz and, on occasion, huggles.
And you only ever get one, mind you. You can't go through that more than once.

I am master of hypothetical ideas and game balance!
Always bother me about your ideas.
also if you need any terrible screeches, I know a guy.
I was sort of hoping for a bipedal humanoid with a raptor head, like in the banner
But I don't know

Just go around town plastering places with posters about Velociraptor discrimination in the workplace and how you can fight it.
I'm super excited for this game.

Nas has succeeded in implementing a pretty badass third-person camera.
It's still got a couple of bugs, which is, of course, to be expected.
Everyone hug Nas.
Sadly, that is the extent of my abilties.
I would buy the hell out of this game however.

Any chance you're going to need some Mike Patton's to make some raptor sound effects or creepy voices?
Here's some quick walk cycle shots that show the raptor bobbin' along, it's a bit rough but we're just trying to prototype things in game atm so there you have it.
