Press release:
8 September 2021.
The Poland-based indie games publisher/developer Movie Games and indie games developer Byte Barrel are today very excited and happy to announce that they have just launched a Kickstarter campaign for their upcoming creative simulation game “MythBusters: The Game” (which is based on the world-famous TV-show with the same name).

This creative simulation game will allow you to become a scientist and test popular real-world myths as a host of a popular show, but also see the show from a showrunner’s perspective. Kickstarter backers can get early access to the extended demo and even have their own names or messages featured in the game.

In MythBusters: The Game, players turn popular real world myths inside out in order to confirm or bust them. The players start with a blueprint. After working out the mechanics of a myth, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and prepare the experiment! Wear a hard cap, because at this stage, everything can happen, explosions included. There’s also a management angle, where the goal is to please your audience and secure the budget for future episodes. You’re a MythBuster in front of and behind the camera!

“Whilst we’re a small team and we want to make the most of it. We can make the game bigger, we can include more fun details, references, more love to MythBusters. That’s why we’re asking for support. If you’re a fan, or if you like games that have something new to offer gameplay-wise, consider a donation to the project.” – Ernest Krystian, Founder & Lead Designer, Byte Barrel: Movie Games

The Kickstarter campaign for MythBusters: The Game launches on September 7 and will last for 30 days.

The game is in the late alpha stage at the moment. Its creators hope to use Kickstarter to finance additional content and to increase the awareness of the game.
