Slam Bolt Scrappers to be released next week!

Mar 9, ’11 8:25 PM

If you’re not familiar with the video game Slam Bolt Scrappers, I strongly suggest you go check it out at Fire Hose Games’ site. I have worked with Fire Hose several times in the past, most recently this winter to design and launch their new website, and they are great folks. More importantly, the game is a lot of fun! It’s a mashup of sorts, combining elements of Super Smash Bro’s, Tetris and several other games—that may sound weird, but it works. I’ve yet to win a match, but this weekend at PAX East I will be challenging ‘Fire Chief’ Eitan Glinert to a rematch from last year’s PAX, where I suffered a crushing defeat!

Slam Bolt Scrappers is a PSN exclusive, and will be released digitally on March 13. Catch them this weekend at the Penny Arcade Expo, PAX East, in Boston to try the game.

The Global Game Jam

Jan 26, ’10 7:05 AM

As I mentioned before, I will be participating in this weekend’s Global Game Jam. Essentially the video game development community’s answer to the 48 hour film project, the Game Jam is a collaborative game-making effort that will run from 5pm on Friday the 29th through the afternoon of Sunday the 31st, at which point we will have made a video game or died trying. The design constraints and theme of the jam will be announced on Friday, so until we form a team that afternoon I cannot anticipate who I will be working with or what kind of game we will make. That said, I will be jamming with the other folks at the Singapore-MIT Gambit Game Lab, and they have a hell of a lineup of participants this year—very excited for the weekend. I will be contributing my 2D and 3D skills and limited scripting, as well as taking a first stab at music production and sound design.
