ShellBlast now available on GamersGate; it’s crunch time!
Yet another quick update and some news. First off, I’m proud to announce our new partnership with GamersGate.com, a site that’s gaining popularity with such exclusives as Bionic Commando: Rearmed. Our first commercial game (ShellBlast) is now available at the site, with Spirits of Metropolis to follow soon.
You also may have noticed that the site runs a bit faster; it’s now running on clustered servers, providing faster loads and minimal downtime. Woo!
And one last thing…I’m going to go into crunch time right now with Spirits of Metropolis, so there might not be quite as many blog posts in general until the game is released. I have nearly completed the levels of Spirits; once that’s done its on to the editor and menus, and bam. Done. Once the game is closer to release I’ll reveal the final new modes and a bit of a neat surprise that I hope helps in Spirit’s success.
The goal is to get a private beta of the full game out by September 29th. Alright, it’s crunch time. Let’s do it!
ShellBlast v1.31 Now Available…
Just a quick post on an updated portion of ShellBlast. I’m prepping the game to be released yet again to some publishers, and I’ve equalized the music in this version so that it’s not so dang loud. The original version’s music was almost +9 decibels louder than it should have been, so it’s been corrected to make this version 1.31 (same goes for the demo). Anyone who owns the full version can grab the updated music here…just swap out the folders for the new ones:

Some notes on the Spirits of Metropolis Level Editor…
Egads, I’m finally learning more advanced GML code. And by advanced I mean stuff the most basic programmer could probably do.
