Montreal, Canada based Game Designer Kosta Zdravkovic spoke about the game, saying:
“We worked on the concept and graphics of the game since 2014, and we are excited that it is finally coming to fruition this year thanks to our talented development team.”
CTO & Sound Engineer Igor Djordjevic, the man responsible for the amazing soundtrack for the game, also added that:
“Red Barton & The Sky Pirates is the kind of game we’d like to see more on the market, and it’s our hope that it’s going to lead a resurgence of the genre of arcade simulation shooters.”
Describing the plot of the game, the developers have said:
“In a remote corner of the Milky Way, on a planet lost between the stars, in the solar system called Diamas by ancient astronomers, there is a rich planet-kingdom of Diamondtopia. Since times long forgotten, this lush and rich beyond imagination land has been ruled over by the mighty Diamund dinasty.
“The Diamund dinasty had a long line of peaceful, benevolent kings who brought peace, justice and prosperity to the entire world of Diamondtopia using their wealth and power to bring balance and prosperity to all the lands far and wide. But the peace wasn’t going to last.”
