We're Back on the Road Again...

Well, not quite, but Dreams of Witchtown should be available to Creators Club members for review around midnight tonight. It would be a festivus miracle if it got approved for Christmas! 

Bullet Proof

Please try to break Dreams of Witchtown! Playtest now!

Level UP!

Try { 2 + 2 = 8 } catch { "duh" }

Although we're a bit disappointed Dreams failed peer review because we didn't handle a corrupt memory unit we shall press on. Didn't we all learn with NES that you shouldn't go pulling your game cartridge out of the system while it's on? ... Duh! 


As it turns out the suggested fix for everything is to wrap everything up in a try/catch block and give a "prettier" crash. So... while we take a week to add a few lines of code (literally) we'll be enjoying ICY THE SNOWMAN shaped sugar cookies! (maybe I'll post a picture later)

Dreams is Ready for Review!

Thanks to those (friends and members of the Creator's Club) who took the time to playtest Dreams of Witcthtown. After over a week of playtest we have made the following improvements to the game making it ready for peer review!

• Easier leveling at lower levels
• Warning signs added before boss fights
• Fixed an issue with visiting one of the shops while running by
• Solved a problem with menu sound in the title and story screens

In the weeks prior to the official playtest we implemented several things while doing our own internal playtesting including the pause functionality, the trial save system, controller and memory card management and a few other things. This was all in an effort to make the game ready for review. You can review the game here!

Eh...what's up, doc?

Playtest Me!

Currently there are quite a few games up for both playtest and peer review. Dreams has been up for playtest since Sunday however we haven't had quite the feedback we were hoping for to ensure that all things are top notch. If you're reading this and you have the ability to playtest - please check Dreams out here!

It's the Trojan Badger!?!? Crap!

Almost Finished Box Art

Chris hasn't given me the final box art but this is pretty close. I think all he added was the gift logo in the bottom right.

Dreams Is Up for Playtest

After a week of internal playtesting and going over the evil checklist Dreams of Witchtown was posted this morning for peer playtest! So, if you're a creators club member, please check it out!

SFX360 Preview!

We would like to thank the team at SFX360 for posting a preview of Dreams! Go check it out here!

The Little Things

Our team spent a lot of time yesterday doing some harsh play testing and going through the evil checklist. I use the word harsh because we had to do things like rip the memory card out of the Xbox while the game was trying to save, unplug the controller, try to play with the 4th controller instead of controller number one, etc. The good news is we passed on most things however there are a couple things we need to polish up in the next two days before submitting to peer play testing.

ICY THE SNOWMAN

Meet The Enemy (Part 3)

Late Night!

Our team was up throughout the night trying to finish up some odds and ends before pushing the game out to peer review. One of the kinks we had to work out was some game save functionality. As it stood, players were able to save and load their saved games while in trial mode, essentially allowing a player to beat the entire game 8 minutes at a time (seriously, who would do that?). We took care of the issue and if you try to load a save you will be prompted to purchase the game - nice of us to make that convenient for you isn't it?

Check It Out - XBLARATINGS.COM Preview

We would like to thank the folks at XBLA & XBLIG Ratings (xblaratings.com) for taking the time to post a preview of Dreams of Witchtown. Here's the first bit of the article: 


"Xbox Live Indie Games has over 600 titles availble currently, but only 6 of those are Role Playing Games. So, when I stumbled across Dreams of Witchtown I was excited to see an action fantasy RPG being made."


Check out the complete preview!

I really enjoy the winter levels in the game, and kicking ICY THE SNOWMAN's butt is a rewarding experience!

Screen Shots (Part 1)

Well, it's about that time - we've started the process of getting some screenshots together for the games launch! Here's one I sort of liked.
