Features Featured article Brendon Chung, developer of Flotilla Flotilla is a 2010 turn-based strategy space-combat video game developed by Brendon Chung (pictured) and his studio, Blendo Games. The game was released in March 2010 on Steam for Microsoft Windows and on Xbox Live Indie Games for the Xbox 360. Flotilla was designed with Microsoft's XNA tools, and its development was influenced by animals as well as board games such as Axis & Allies and Arkham Horror. The game takes the player on an adventure through a randomly generated galaxy. Chung began developing Flotilla after the closure of Pandemic Studios, where he had worked as a designer. The new game used assets imported from Chung's early space combat prototype Space Piñata. Flotilla incorporates pieces of classical music in its score such as Frédéric Chopin's "Raindrop" prelude. It received mixed reviews from video game media outlets, scoring 72 out of 100 on review aggregate website Metacritic, and was included in Mike Rose's book 250 Indie Games You Must Play.
