In line with my ability to come up with oversized game titles I present to you, Soviet Rocket Giraffe Go Go Go!
If you can figure out what the heck is going on let me know! It’s a fun little game.
Also available on the iTunes App Store (YES) so you can take it mobile (thanks Mike!). The iPhone game is a wee different and more challenging so enjoy.
Cheers to Jimp for his amazing artwork as always (go visit his blarg) and thanks to ZeRo-BaSs for reprising his role once again for the soundtrack (he has a new album out, check it out!).

I’m eating a pizza while writing this, and right now I’m probably exactly halfway done with Exit Path 2. Below is a wireframe view of the game in debug mode. Today I’m working on launch platforms, which now forcibly move you more than just upward, now launching you in random directions as well.
UI is nearly fully fleshed out and the menu system is looking awesome… no sneak peeks yet but soon! Beta invites should go out this week or next.
Tomorrow I will be working on… escalators. Yes, escalators.
And remember that giraffe game? Should be out soon.
Busy life. Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Long time no update!
Here’s Giraffe game (codenamed), it’s just about done, now just waiting for a few extra surprises! It was a HUGE challenge to make it run quickly, as the terrain bits get up to 5,000-6,000 pixels long and it’s a lot for Flash to run on-screen, especially with my addiction to particles and flair pieces.
ANDDDD Exit Path 2… no screenshots or anything yet… but I’ve already recruited the musician from Exit Path and I’ve started full-tilt into this project. Currently I’m working on Multiplayer backend stuff and getting main game assets accomplished (trampolines, flow, etc). There will be new things to do and new ways to interact with the game… so stay tuned for more updates (I promise I will make them more frequent.

Over the past few days I’ve started to explore painting in Acrylic. Inspired by HeroInteractive, I decided to do some artwork for the office based on Flash pieces. At the office we have posted our first two pieces. The one on the left is done by Carlie, based on a wallpaper piece I made, the one on the right is from myself based on the hedgehog from Hedgehog Launch. I’m working in Acrylic and the pieces are about 8×10″.
I am working on a few other pieces, or at least have plans to.

You see, you are a giraffe from the USSR being sent upwards. Makes perfect sense right? Game out Thursday or Friday, depending on timeframes.
Hmmm, his neck is missing.
