Hello people! I just wanted to tell you that a patch for the ilomilo DLC is on the way. Hold on!

Also, there has been no upgrade here for a while due to me being busy with all kinds of stuff, so here’s some fan-art. Hope that makes it up to you!

ilomilo release party!

Friday, February 25th, 2011

Hiya all! Southend had a splendid ilomilo release party last friday where the ilomilo team and the rest of the Southenders celebrated the releases of ilomilo XBLA and ilomilo WP7.

Since ilomilo is much based on hats (There’s an ancient golden rule stating that everything gets remarkably better with hats) it was quite fitting to make the evening hat-themed!

The party started in the kitchen with some sparkling wine and some accordion live music by newcomer Erik Strandh.

After a few words by Fredrik, our producer it was time to gather around the table for some culinary specialties ordered directly from the famous 5 star restaurant “ilo & milos knife and fork”.

As gamers we all know the importance of competition, so of course there were some fun games to play while enjoying the food, including Quiz, Bingo, Poker… and a “best hat competition”.

Quiz, poker and Bingo are all good, but thanks to super power multi hacker programmer Björn Persson it was also presented in quite some style.

Check these in game screenshots out:

Onsdagsfika!

Programmerfika
Humour at Southend

The programmers of Southend have a special event every Wednesday they call an “Onsdagsfika”. On this joyful celebration the programmers gather around to eat cake, drink coffee and play Frank Sinatras “The coffee song” really loud so other people in the surroundings won’t miss that something is going on.

This little ritual is of course really fascinating for us non-programmers, so sometimes we hide in the bushes and trees beside the programmer room to quietly observe them and their ancient rites until they feel sorry for us and invite us in.

Ah yes, it’s truly a fantastic experience. For a taste of what it’s like, try this.
Fill a mug with coffee, bake some kind of pastry (or buy it if you are lazy), get an old gramophone and a record containing Frank Sinatras “Coffee song” (or use Youtube or Spotify like we do, it’s a lot easier!).

Put on the music, close your eyes, have a sip of the coffee, eat cake and enjoy your “Onsdagsfika”!

Here’s a link to the coffee song on Youtube.

And one for Spotify
