Yes I know, we posted about this earlier, but here’s the picture with the xbox controller and console in all it’s uncensored glory.

ilomilo_190510_01

I’m sick (you should feel terribly sorry for me), so I’m just laying on the sofa at home, with the laptop on my belly. I’ve found some sites that wrote about ilomilo:

Destructoid
Boingboing
A thread on neogaf
Gamerbytes
New screens on GirlGamersUk

Some hands-on!
In Swedish only:
Level7
Gameplayer
Ilomilo was also mentioned briefly the swedish edition of Metro, but I’m not going to link to that since I look like the bad guy from the first Indiana Jones movie in that picture.

Tighten the graphics on level three

Monday, May 17th, 2010

Low poly objects can be an art form in itself. But when you’re trying to convey a soft and nice feeling it just looks bad. So after seeing all the new and fantastic Super Mario Galaxy 2 videos (where you can’t spot a damn polygon edge), I decided to give our trees some extra triangles.

It seems like Cockroach is in trouble. The main character of their upcoming game The Dream Machine, Victor Neff, has gone missing in some strange world… Will they be able to find him in time for the game’s release, or is he forever doomed to walk on silly cubes in this strange land?

T-Shirts that never were

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Before we went to Nordic Game we toyed around with the idea of doing some t-shirts. In the end we decided to go for pins and print stuff. Anyway, I made some concepts:
tshirts
Personally I hate t-shirts with ads and big logos on them, I wanted these to be fun and stylish, something that one would actually wear.

Who knows, maybe we will make some t-shirts in the future.
Is there any of these designs you would prefer?

Today is Hippie Day!

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

At Southend we have something that is called hippie day. No, we don’t practice free love in the park and smoke weed all day (at least some of us don’t) – it’s a day in which everyone is free to work on their own concepts that they can present to the team at the end of the day.
Some will work on new tech, some will work on a graphical style that they are interested in exploring and some will write down gameplay concepts or even stories.
The concepts might become projects, some might work as an inspiration for ongoing projects.

An Action Brawler Rhythm MMORPG exclusively for Amiga CD32?

In a lot of ways it’s like fishing. You might just catch a big one. But then you have to be really quiet and wear a fishing hat. Eh…
