Gnomic Development Blog http://www.gnomicstudios.com/blog Gnomic game teasers and developer ramblings Sun, 05 Sep 2010 04:37:20 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Short talks by Perth game developers http://www.gnomicstudios.com/blog/?p=322 http://www.gnomicstudios.com/blog/?p=322#comments Sun, 05 Sep 2010 04:37:20 +0000 Aranda http://www.gnomicstudios.com/blog/?p=322 This Friday I’ll be speaking first up about our experiences developing Square Off on the Xbox Live Indie Games platform. More information about the event can be found here: http://letsmakegames.org/2010/08/27/short-talks-by-perth-game-developers/.

Thanks to Nick from onetwenty.org for organising the talks. I think it’s a great way for local developers to share experiences on their respective platforms and I’m really looking forward to hearing what the other three developers have to say!

Please have a read: http://www.armlessoctopus.com/2010/08/26/xbox-indie-review-square-off/

There are so many great quotes to put on our critical acclaim page so I’m still deciding which to use. For now I’m leaning towards “an extremely fun multiplayer experience that ranks up there with Castle Crashers, Bomberman Live and Rock Band.“.  :D

We’re in there at the 3rd spot which should give our sales a very nice kick.

We’re still planning to do a proper sales data analysis soon. This should provide another interesting point to talk about.
