I really want it to get funded. So much nostalgia! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darrenwall/the-bitmap-brothers-universe?ref=hero_thanks
The Bitmap Brothers: Universe will be the official history of the visionary British software house. The book will combine an authoritatively written inside story, thoroughly researched via new, first-hand interviews with The Bitmap Brothers' key figures, with a breathtaking haul of never-before-seen archive material, including original production drawings and digital artwork from seminal titles such as Xenon 2: Megablast, Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe and The Chaos Engine.
Alongside a celebration of the Bitmaps’ classic works, the book will reveal for the first time the fate of unreleased projects such as the high octane Amiga racer ‘Bike’/‘Havoc’/‘Triple X’ and the 2D Speedball successor ‘Brutal Deluxe’/‘ブルータル デラックス’.
We’re thrilled to say that the book will also feature a specially commissioned cover illustration by Bitmap virtuoso Dan Malone (artist on Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe, The Chaos Engine, Z).
