But because we were novice game devs at the time the project did not get very far. We tried to make an adventure game (horror of course) about a murder in a haunted house. Artur and Szymon met for the first in 2000, during high school and tried to work on their first game. Bulb Boy is on Kickstarter now and I had a chance to ask a few questions to The Bulb Boy Team in order to ask a little bit about this grotesque yet adorable game.īulb Boy Team: We're all from Krakow, Poland.
