I don’t entirely understand newly announced FMV game Blippo+ is, but I don’t think I’m meant to. Either way, it doesn’t matter: I’m fully invested. In my mind, I’m already throwing every cent I have at Panic. Who needs to do things like pay a mortgage or feed a family when you could play… “play”?… whatever this is? The title is Blippo+. The developer is Blippo+. Everything is Blippo+.
Let’s start with the basics. What is Blippo+? A streaming service? And who is behind it? Today’s announcement trailer creates more questions than it gives answers, but I bet Blippo+ will be exactly the game promises to be: an over-the-top, live-action television experience in “glorious” 1-bit video.
Confirmed publisher Panic has very little to say about Blippo+. Here is the information provided straight from the horse’s mouth (text in blue):

The whole who made Blippo+ thing is a bit confusing, but this is what I can tell from Day of the Devs: the companies listed as working on the title as Yacht, Telefantasy Studios, and Panic. Some media outlets list Panic as the developer, which I believe to be at least partially true. Panic is definitely the publisher though — and I can practically see the game running on the Playdate already.
Blippo+ will be released for PC via Steam, ^^(`~*, and ?’%^*9 soon. And no, I’m not suddenly in the middle of a health crisis: those platforms are a direct quote from Panic.
