Press Release here

It looks like those guys over at the Behemoth are releasing Alien Hominid to Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday. The Xbox 360 version looks great! High definition and clean anti-aliased line work are a great match. And it’s only 800 points. You should buy it.
We are apparently their contact info for the Alien Hominid leaderboard contest.

Don and I won our ticket to the open bar at the Game Developer Choice Awards/Independent Games Festival Awards in the form of a nomination for Best New Studio! I’ve been a couple times before: first when Fuzzee Fever was a finalist in the IGF and later when our friends at Chronic Logic won the Grand Prize with Gish (I got to hang out at their table).

Our competition is tough with studios like Ready At Dawn and Iron Lore also nominated. I’m just amazed and proud at how we’ve gotten to this point! Apparently Shigeru Miyamoto will be there receiving his lifetime achievement award! Exciting times!
We’ll be heading to San Francisco in a couple of weeks. Our slides for the talk are done and we’re working on the actual speaking part now. It should be a good talk and we’re aiming to make it very useful for companies in similar situations to ours and perhaps bigger companies that want to enter the downloadable space.

Don and I will be giving a talk at the Independent Games Summit of GDC. The talk will be a “Postmortem” of Small Arms, which we still have yet to write. It will likely encompass some helpful tips for developing big ideas with small teams, balancing graphics-technology and art, making games to fit in XBLA size requirements and more! With the “more” being us talking about what we messed up and how not to do it. I’ll also be on a panel discussion at the IGS. So make sure to come to the talks. Gastronaut + public speaking: could Cutty be far behind?
