Independent video game developer to release first-of-its-kind bowling game.
Dallas, TX, October, 1st 2008 Perpetual FX Creative announces the release of Galactic Bowling, a video game developed for the PC. Powered by the revolutionary Vicious Engine®, Galactic Bowling delivers stunning, detailed graphics and fluid, lifelike game play.
Galactic Bowling will be the first title in the newly established Galactic franchise, and will feature eleven distinct characters, each with a unique look and personality. Boasting eleven levels of game play, epic cinematic storylines, and a challenging campaign, Galactic Bowling is an exciting new experience. Players will be transported around the Earth as well as a multitude of vividly-illustrated planets, all with exhilarating bowling lanes, special bowling balls, super moves, unlockables, secret characters, and "whammies" to disrupt your opponent's performance. Players can also join friends in a multiplayer mode that includes online matches with all in-game characters, levels, special moves, game types, and never before seen mini-games like Turkey Hunt and Tilt. Traditional scoring is available as well as an exciting new form called Battle Mode; similar to playing tug-of-war, each player uses their score as leverage against the other. Using a unique, fun, and easy control scheme, Galactic Bowling immerses players in a distinctive new experience for all ages.
Galactic Bowling will be available online via STEAM at www.steampowered.com. STEAM players will be able to earn 30 Steam Achievements in the game, including points for jumping a portal gap using the Nitro Ball, getting a strike during an Earthquake Whammy, and much more. Galactic Bowling is scheduled for release October, 20th 2008. For more information please visit www.galacticbowling.net.

So, in stead of creating a new thread for very old work, I decided to put it up here.
EDIT: oh crap, the texture is actually 512! I just scaled it down for the presentation and failed at using the text tool
He didn't get carried over but the wii version has some additional characters and levels so it's kinda like a sequel... kinda.
As far as I know the game was handed off to the Destineer guys for the port/sequel and I don't think anybody got paid for the steam version thanks to the whole xbox-live clause/debacle. Well except maybe Jaco, I know he was still working with 'em for a while. But whatever I'm not bitter
EDIT: * by it i meant the game here.
