Al Lowe, the dirty mind behind the Leisure Suit Larry franchise, has renounced the leisurely lifestyle of the retiree for a return to the video game industry. Lowe and veteran software producer, Ken Wegrzyn, formerly of Mindscape and McGraw-Hill, today officially announced the formation of iBase Entertainment, a boutique development studio that is slated to release an all-new Lowe-created title in 2007 – Sam Suede: Undercover Exposure.

Sam Suede: Undercover Exposure is an action comedy game created by Lowe and Wegrzyn, set in a sunny, tropical locale with a story that incorporates Lowe’s incomparable sense of humor with puzzle, stealth and action gameplay elements.

"I needed a good reason to abandon my strenuous life of pina coladas and golf, and this is it," said Lowe, Chief Creative Officer of iBase Entertainment. "Ken and I are creating a game that’s big on humor, and provides the fun and exploration lacking in many of today’s games. I’ve always wanted to play a game about a common man thrust into extraordinary circumstances and surrounded by beautiful women. Sam Suede is that game."

Key features of the game include a story and characters penned by Lowe aimed at filling the gap in modern games with funny action-oriented gameplay, stunning graphics featuring realistic characters interacting in tropical environments and gameplay that offers broad appeal to teens and adults. The game is being developed for consoles, handhelds and PCs
