Guitar Idol is a guitar/music game exclusive for Tectoy’s 2009 version of SEGA Genesis for the Brazilian market, the first Genesis incarnation to have a guitar-shaped joystick. As we announced before we are proud for being a part of this project. Check out the final result on those gameplay videos published by Tectoy:

Introducing Guitar Idol!

Guitar Idol is a guitar/music game exclusive for Tectoy’s 2009 version of SEGA Genesis for the Brazilian market. This is the first time the Genesis console will have a guitar accessory. We are proud for being a part of this project developing the main title of the built-in 87 games collection (including classics like Sonic, Altered Beast and Golden Axe).

Guitar Idol was entirely developed from scratch, in Portuguese, with 2D visuals and a soundtrack that includes bands like Deep Purple and Mötorhead. The final result is very good, with beautiful graphics,lots of polish and constant frame-rate. Check below some screen-shots, and soon enough we will put the game in our gallery with videos.

Guitar Idol was co-developed with Tectoy Digital. Great people and great professionals!

Interama is now on Twitter. Follow us and our games at http://twitter.com/Interama.

Interama announces its game development services to the video-game market. The company already deals with outsourced development since 2006, but to make it more evident we are founding a new section on this site dedicated to the subject.

Our focus is on casual-oriented games for the personal computer market (Windows, Mac, Linux, Web) but we are now offering development for the new Zeebo game console as well. We believe in Zeebo’s potential as a game platform that truly understands emerging markets and we would like to share our enthusiasm with our partners.

Visit our Services section for more details on how we can help on the development of your next game.

And let’s talk about your projects!

After Blooming Daisies our next game will be for the Genesis console! Yes, this is right, the Genesis. Brazil is the only country where SEGA’s Genesis and Master System consoles are still being sold, manufactured by Tectoy.

The game in development is an outsourced work for Tectoy. More information will be available here on the following months. It is indeed a very exciting project!
