CBC TV News featured Xona Games and its upcoming Xbox 360 game, Duality ZF.

Ryan Pierce (CBC) interviews us (Jason and Matthew Doucette, aka Xona Games) about Duality ZF on TV!  This type of exposure showcases to us that few people realize their dreams, and the moment anyone takes action towards realizing a dream they are immediately in the minority.  This is our first real-time camera interview.  Our office was a blistering 27 degrees Celsius (81 degrees Fahrenheit) due to heating problems, which made the process uncomfortable for everyone.  But, kudos to Ryan Pierce the interviewer, not only a true gamer but a true fan of the orginal scrolling shooters.  Find another non-gamer jouralist who buys many ports of R-Type and the likes of Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer!  It takes a true gamer to give games their due respect, and we feel Ryan did a great job for us.  Thank you, Ryan!

We have also made CBC Radio One (.mp3 link) and were featured on the CBC website.

About the Author:  I am Matthew Doucette of Xona Games, an award-winning, team-of-two indie studio concentrating on "intense retro" games (Xbox LIVE, PSN, WiiWare, and Windows PC). We've released Decimation X (XBLIG), a 1-4 player shmup, #1 best selling and #1 top rated XBLIG in Japan. We're working on Duality ZF (XBLA), a groundbreaking 1-4 player shmup, which placed #1 in Canada and #5 in the world in Microsoft's Dream Build Play 2010 contest. It features dual play, the ability to control two fighters at once, and a massively upgradable 32-stage spread/laser weapon system. 4 player dual play allows up to eight fighters at once.  Many of these features are never before seen shoot'em up firsts. Both games feature beautiful electronic Imphenzia soundtracks.  Help spread the word with our official dualityzf.com and decimationx.com websites.

P.S. Watch out for Score Rush (official website scorerush.com), another 1-4 player shmup. Coming soon to XBLIG.

*Shmup also known as: shoot'em up, 2D shooter, scrolling shooter, space shooter, spaceship shooter, retro shooter, etc.
