The largest rock band of the 80s and 90s – which includes travel, Queen, Matley Curry, Aerosmith, and Metillaica, gained a special cultural importance beyond their music, their videos and their visits. Some of these fields have created video games around them, often for mixed results, in a manner that is no longer really.

“I’ve been listening to the band since I was a teenager,” Pewwson told Polygon. “At that time I was like more metal. Now I listen to almost all kinds of gender, but the Wood is one of the bands that I have been listening to for years. They are very electoral and their voice is very real and continues, yet they continue despite the changes in the lineup.”
Langyeen has been the only permanent member of the View since its inception in 1982. He is responsible for the visual aesthetic of the band, which is full of dark, science -fi imaging, is usually offered in ink, marker and paint.

Well, now is the right time to do the void gameSo I mentioned them during a concert in Prague a few years ago.
“I slowly began to work on it,” said Pewwson, “said Pavuson,” said Pewwson, and he contacted the band with a pitch to make it official. “He was also very happy because he knew me from the music video made for him. I shared with Michelle (some screenshots and games of game), and he immediately rode with that idea.”
Pewwson said his Vaud Game Pitch was “a bit of retro in the style”, “in the early 80s, in the early 90s, which is the golden age of Vyod,” when the group released its famous albums, the retro -pixel graphic. –
VOYOD: Nuclear fighters Pewson said the band’s fantasy albums would follow the stories, though a little changed to fit the “more standard game story”. In the style of the View Metrodwania, the game will change the shape and gain new powers.
“The idea is that (Vause) wakes up in such dreams, and he has to recover his brain pieces,” said Pewwson. “So there will be a different piece of every level of all levels. So it will be searching, fighting and storytelling – to understand the story more about the story.

VOYOD: Nuclear fighters It is still early in development. Pewson’s kickstarter campaign has given a list of November 2026 release date, but it seems that it will be a kind of “when ready”. “When people ask me when the game is ready, it is always difficult to answer because I’m not doing it for money,” he said. “I am a fan of this band, and for me, it is important to make a good game first, and pay tribute to the Wood Universe. So I’m really interested in making it a good game, first of all.
“I have learned to make the game, you need two years to make 90 % of the game, and you need two more years to make the last 10 %,” he said. “In the case of VoivodI hope this will not be a four -year thing. “
