Hello folks, our artist Peter created some sweet looking wallpapers for you! Why you ask? Oh I don’t know, perhaps it’s simply because you’re a bunch of fantastic people. Yep, that’s definitely it. Now, just pick your desktop resolution and enjoy those nifty wallpapers!

So what’s going on here on Southend? Well, right now we’re super-busy fixing bugs and the like. We barely have time for taking coffee-breaks or watching youtube clips of funny animals, people who stumbles and jaw harp experts. Oh yes, it’s really intense right now I tell you!
Still, there’s always time for another blog-post! This friday we will bring you something cool, so stay tuned folks.
ilomilo might still be in development, but the high-score rivalry in ilomilo Shuffle is already ongoing. Not so long ago our office high-score was beaten by tester KCShuffle, but after an heroic effort by our ninja-programmer Jensen the high score was reconquered and our honor restored…well, until next time someone manages to get a better score.
You can beat our high-score, but we will always do our best to beat you back! 
For today’s blogpost we have invited a special guest. Meet Sebastian, a gentleman with “a certain sense for style and fashion” who stars in ilomilo where he gives helpful hints to ilo and milo when he isn’t posing in front of the bathroom mirror or invent new words.
Hello Sebastian, glad to have you here with us. Why don’t you tell us a little about yourself?
Sebastian: Salutations! Who is this marvelous gentleman with an incredible sense for fashion that stands before you? Why it’s Sebastian of course! Listen well to my words and you will go far!
Right…is it true that you live inside a box, or rather a number of boxes that somehow exists in many locations at the same time?
Sebastian: It’s not a “box”, it’s my house! If someone is lost and needs my help, then I will arrive heroically from my house and help them, wherever they may be. It’s that simple. And in case you wonder, it’s actually a lot larger on the inside. How else would I be able to fit my increditastic collection of porcelain horses in there? Laws of physics and logic are such boring concepts anyway.
I’ve heard you know lots of good old stories. Could you tell us one?
Sebastian: I’m afraid I can’t. You see, I save all my good stories for the lost wanderers who find me at certain secret locations. If I was just telling stories all the time I wouldn’t have anything left to tell, now would I?
We couldn’t help but notice you came here on a flying creature. Does it have a name?
Sebastian: Ah yes! That is my majestic flying stallion who carries me around everywhere! A man of my status shouldn’t have to tire his feet by walking, now should he? He doesn’t really have a name, but I can summon him anytime by whistling three signals though my left nostril. I’m feeling a bit allergic today unfortunately, but I should be able to do it nevertheless. Want me to demonstrate?
Umm…perhaps later. Well, thank you for your time, we can’t wait to see you in the game.
I should probably build levels for ilomilo or do something else important, but instead i built ilo and Milo out of nano blocks! It’s kind of like a japanese version of LEGO, only smaller.
Enjoy!
Southend’s texture gangster Willy made this nice ilomilo skin for a car in Forza 3. Über!
Search for “ilomilo” if you have the game, to find it!
In other news:
Tecmo Bowl Throwback release party tonight! Congrats to the Tecmo Bowl team. We’re going out bowling… Tecmo Bowling. (Well, this is posted in the “Fun” category after all).
Oh and we will release a New trailer early next week! So check back then. Have a nice weekend!
My friend Emma made and sent me these fantastic little key chain figures.
Emma, you rock!
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!

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.
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?
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:
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?
