Updates o’ Plenty.

There’s been a lot of little things going on with Vertigo Games, so let’s gather them all up into one blog post, shall we?

-First off, I’ve re-linked the blogs to follow text titles instead of the numerical format. In other words, look at the address for this blog post…its not a number anymore, but in a much easier to link text format. The unfortunate side effect is that some of the blog plugins for photos and videos were broken, so I’m going back to older posts to fix them. If you see any non-working videos/audio plugins on the blog, post away below!

-I’ve added the Affiliates page to the top of the site as well as on the bottom right of the blog! If you’d like to be a part of the page, drop me an email and I’ll check out your site.

-I’ve entered Spirits of Metropolis and greenTech into the 2BeeGames Indie Game Competiton, and they received 80 entries (To compare, the GM Competition that greenTech won had nearly 200). I get the feeling that these eighty are extremely tough competition entries though, since the stakes are much higher ($10k grand prize!). They will be declaring the finalists in a few weeks, and then the internet will vote. Here’s hoping Spirits or greenTech makes it to the finals!

-There’s a new site out called KickStarter, which is a way for indie devs of any form of art to raise money for their works. It’s a brilliant site, and is invitation only at the moment. I’ll be submitting Kablooey! into the Kickstart program, and if we get accepted I’ll post more info about it. If Kablooey! doesn’t make it, no big deal, but it would be awesome if it did eh?


-For those wondering, yes, I was on Facebook for a few hours. The only reason why is to sign up for the Pixeljunk 1-4 Facebook Group, as they promised to show a new screen of the game for every 200 people that signed up with them. The game was unveiled a week ago, and I deleted my account. I really don’t like Facebook, I’m sorry. 🙁 But maybe I’ll sign up again later in the future!

-Jonathan Geer just finished the music for Kablooey! We’re that much closer to a teaser trailer. I’ve started the long task of programming and outlying but the engine and graphics are nearly done. There will be tons more info after I release the trailer.

-Oh, I do have a Twitter account though. Check it out if you’re bored. :p

    Hope you win, greentech was awesome…. well, cold-hearted as it sounds to you, if there’s a better competition entry that deserves to win more; I’ll be just as happy :p.
