Level Designer of Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine, Andy Nguyen, updated the game today with a brand new patch titled: "The Architect Patch". New streamlined campaign experiences being featured, as well as other new gameplay additions, perfect Pocketwatch Games' already very addictive co-op title.
The hardships of XBLA development continue, as the developers of Monaco, Pocketwatch Games, recently described their overall disappointment with the game’s low XBLA sales. Due to its complications during launch, Andy Schatz of Pocketwatch expressed his thoughts on the results of the Xbox 360 version.
After playing Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine for the first time, we had to beg the question: “Would a level editor eventually make it into this game?” Just think of the all the possibilities for different co-op missions one could create if given the opportunity. Luckily for us, Pocketwatch Games actually listened to their fans and granted Monaco players the chance to design their own levels!
Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine is a wickedly fun co-op game to play, but a what if it had included a multiplayer mode as well? Would it have taken away from the immersive co-op gameplay we have now? Andy Schatz recently described some reasons why Pocketwatch Games decided to stick to their co-op guns and forgo some competitive modes for Monaco.
It’s not always easy to going against the grain, especially when wanting to make significant changes within a culture. This, however, didn’t stop Pocketwatch Games from making a statement with Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine. Andy Schatz recently wrote a special editorial to Kotaku about why they chose to take the game in the co-op route instead of just going a generic multiplayer one.
Get ready for the heist of the year, playable on your couch via XBLA this Friday, May 10th. The sensational Monaco: What's Yours is Mine has already been making ripples in video game headlines, delivering devious joy to critics and players alike. Originally slated to release with the PC version of the game on April 24th, Monaco for XBLA has been in Microsoft Certification limbo for what seems like an eternity due to a fatal game bug. The bug in question would have caused disconnects during online play. Rather than elect to release the game with the issue and attempt to fix it later down the road, Pocketwatch Games wanted to nip the problem in the bud. They did so, and the gaming world has been waiting desperately for the game to pass the Microsoft Certification process. And the day will finally come this week.
Many of us here at Co-Optimus were very excited to play Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine this past weekend, writing about our plans to begin co-op games straight away. However, we quickly discovered that Monaco’s initial release was retracted off of XBLA rather quickly by developer, Pocketwatch Games. Many gamers are eager to begin playing as well, so here’s an update on the whole situation from last week.
When PAYDAY: The Heist isn’t enough to satisfy your desire to experience team- based burglaries, we have just the right game for you to dive into, with all the pixelated, retro-gaming love you can get. Pocketwatch Games is pleased to present to us with the official Monaco: What’s Mine Is Yours trailer just before the game releases mid next week!
