Dev Update: Alpha Alpha Alpha!

This building is a metaphor for our game. You can see the whole size, you can see we're gonna do, and it's got a ways to go. Also both have hard hats.

OK, I admit it. WE’VE BEEN QUIET LATELY. Since PAX Prime we haven’t been saying too much. But it’s for your benefit! You see we’ve been busting our ass, and just last week we hit Alpha, that magical milestone where every feature and mode has been added to the game. It’s the first time that we can look at the game and see the entire thing in all its glory.

So great, we’re done, right? NOT QUITE MY FRIENDS. The game is wicked buggy, and while every level, boss, and block type might be in, a lot of stuff doesn’t quite look right, or we’ll occasionally get the mysterious crash of mysteriousness. As you can imagine, we’ve got a lot to fix. Still, it’s pretty sweet that we can have 4 people sit down together and play through the entire campaign, or play anything in the battle mode.

Perhaps you live in the greater Boston area, and are intrigued by all the new kick ass-edness in Slam Bolt Scrappers? Then why don’t you visit and try out the game! Drop us a line (test <at> firehosegames [dot] com) and we’ll get you set up.

Who wants to join a Fire Hose D&D campaign?

Big bonus points people: Who can name which game these dragons are from? I'll give you a hint: Defeating the Zombie Dragon gets you the Rat Tail, which is apparently some sort of prerequistie for becoming an adult or some bullshit.

Dungeons and Dragons is something that I’ve always wanted to play, but in shame have never really gotten around to it. Sure, I’ve played variants like Final Fantasy (the original) and Baldur’s Gate II, and last summer I even played around two minutes of an awesome campaign headed up by Josh Diaz at GAMBIT, but I can’t say that I’ve honestly ever spent time with it.

Well, no more! I’m planning on starting a new campaign using the new 4th edition rules. And I need people to join me! 4-6 people, specifically. So I thought I’d have some fun and invite you, loyal Fire Hose blog reader, to play. Want to join? Here are the requirements:

  • Must live in Boston/Cambridge
  • Must be free on Monday nights, from 7-10pm
  • Must be super awesome, and have fought dinosaurs before
  • Ideally we’ll have a mix of guys and girls, game developers and non-game developers

If you’re interested shoot me an e-mail! You can use my super secret address of my first name at firehosegames.com to profess your desire to join, and if you make the cut we’ll get you set up.
