Back in the Fall of 2008, I was busy looking for a job. I was still unemployed. The independent gaming site that I was active with when I was in high school and 1st half of college just underwent renovation and finally opened. There was a Sci-Fi game contest. The rules were that you make the game from scratch. It didn't matter what copyrights were infringed. So I decided to make a 2D version of WALL-E.
