Do you have fond memories of watching two teams face off in the latest games and trivia rounds to see who would get to advance to the Video Zone and finally be crowned Video Game Wizard of the day? You'll be happy to hear that Nick Arcade host Phil Moore, announcer Andrea Lively, co-producer James Bethea and co-creator Karim Miteff are teaming up to produce a spiritual successor to the 90s children's game show!
Enthlevel aims to become a show that will keep the spirit of its predecessor, and bring it up to modern hardware levels with a focus on VR. Teen and adult contestants will take on challenges in a virtual environment where live action is translated into CG gameplay. Watch the show normally, or equipped with a VR headset, experience an immersive point of view through in-game cameras.
Ultimately the goal is to raise $2.75M for a fully produced series, but the team is starting off with a $375,000 production real to pitch the show to attract buyers and distribution partners. The next step will be a full pilot episode at $1.25M.
The show will feature challenges from actual early 90s games, all the way to current hits, with rounds separated by VR missions. The last team standing will go for a bonus challenge prize. Check out the kickstarter for a complete list of details and backer bonuses!
