Jay and Silent Bob – characters that appear in most of Kevin Smith’s movies (from Clerks and onwards) have yet to appear in a video game, but that might be about to change as indie devs Interabang Entertainment have taken to the hybrid crowdfunding/investment platform known as Fig.co to get funding for Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch a game that apparently won’t shy away from pot or sideboobs and therefore may not be appropriate for big publishers.
“People have asked me for years why I never made a Jay and Silent Bob video game,” said Kevin Smith. “Now I can tell them I was waiting for Justin Woodward from Interabang Entertainment and our own Elias to bring it together. Couldn’t be happier to hand our characters off to folks who know them as well as I do.”
“Kevin Smith’s films have long inspired our team,” said Interabang founder Justin Woodward. “During development for our first game, we’d take breaks to watch them back to back. The iconic characters, hilarious dialogue, and sheer surrealism of the Askew-niverse got us through rough patches during development and life’s struggles. We kept coming back to thinking about how amazing it would be to see Jay and Silent Bob in a game like the ones we design, and we’re amazed that we have this opportunity now.”
The game is a beat em’ up style offering that will primarily be released on PC, but versions for xonsole (PS4/Xbox One) could also be coming.
