Bob Ross is coming to the revolution?

Recommended Posts

Either the coolest game to be made for the revolution or a april's fools joke you wish were true:

Bob Ross Inc. has announced in March 2006 that they have filed a letter of intent to license to Joseph Hatcher's AGFRAG Entertainment Group to develop exclusively worldwide video/computer games based on Bob Ross' creative, unique and easy to learn painting techniques and TV show properties.

The Bob Ross video game, currently untitled, is planned to be developed for PC, the Nintendo DS handheld & on Nintendo's next-gen system coming later this year, code named Revolution. Release date was not announced. AGFRAG is currently seeking a publisher.

Full press release here.

What? Bob Ross back from the dead? Or is it just another zombie game?

Okay, here's the story.

Two moderators of the FOK!forum originally thought of this game during a brainstorm session in early March -- http://forum.fok.nl/topic/826161/4/25#35779413

it's their mockup.

Someone then picked this up over at GAF

This was then picked up by an editor from EGM for their Art section. IGN posted it, several other sites picked it up, etc etc.

How and when bobross.com and adfrag got involved is not sure - they sure never contacted or credited the FOK!forum moderators.

Actually, this game is real. It's not a prank. The FOK! community came up with fake boxart independently of a real Bob Ross game being made.
