Jay and Silent Bob, the iconic stoner duo played by Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith, are set to star in a new video game titled Jay and Silent Bob’s Joint Venture. The game, which is being developed with the involvement of both actors, was announced by Smith at San Diego Comic-Con.
A New Take on Farming Games
Nitrate Games, an indie gaming company, is behind this project. Unlike traditional farming games like Farmville and Stardew Valley, this game offers a raunchy twist with marijuana as a central element of the farming experience.
The game is planned for release on PC and Steam in 2027. Players will have the chance to interact with characters from Kevin Smith’s films as they navigate this unconventional farming world.
Nitrate Games: A Rising Indie Developer
Nitrate Games was founded by Daniel Kendrick, Montana Sommese, and Nick Madonna. The company aims to bring a fresh perspective to gaming by adapting unique and beloved properties. Among other projects, they are considering an adaptation of the cult classic 1978 film Attack of Killer Tomatoes.
Kendrick, known for his work with IDW Entertainment on titles like Locke & Key and Wynonna Earp, emphasizes the company's mission to create games that resonate with the nostalgia of their childhood.
Creative Team Behind the Game
Chase Marotz serves as the creative director for Jay & Silent Bob’s Joint Venture, with Ernie Altbacker handling the writing. This project marks a significant step for Nitrate Games as they aim to carve out a niche in the gaming industry.
With a focus on blending the worlds of gaming and pop culture, Nitrate Games is poised to capture the attention of fans eager for a new kind of interactive experience.
