About This Game

COOPERATIVE MULTIPLAYER

Explore a National Park with up to 3 of your friends! Work together to complete jobs for top magazine brands or just smack your comrades upside the head with a hammer (sickle not included).

CUSTOMIZE YOUR CHARACTER

shutterbuds contains a bunch of funny and interesting cosmetic options for you to unlock and personalize your character with! Some of them may cost your your hard-earned words, but if you complete enough jobs you're sure to make plenty of money.

YOU HAVE A CAMERA AND CAN TAKE PICTURES

Armed with your trusty Rejec brand digital camera, you can take photos of anything you see. You can caption these pictures, display them in game, or save them to your PC.

SILLY LITTLE GUYS

The park is filled with a variety of unique creatures, all with their own behaviors and personalities!

MAKE THE FRONT PAGE IN A FLASH

As you complete more jobs, the magazines you work for will be filled out with your photos. As you improve, new magazine issues are unlocked with more challenging missions. Some say that a picture is worth 1,000 words, but as a rookie, yours are gonna be worth less until you build your rep.

shutterbuds was developed over 1 academic year as a part of Champlain College's Game Studio Capstone program.
