MindFool Games Has Made TWO Crush the Critters Games!!

For those who don't know, there actually IS a version of the game out there now - TWO even! My wonderfully talented artist Ariel, and Jon, a great programmer (both of whom make up the wonderful MindFool Games), made a Halloween and Christmas version for the Chumby, a handheld flash-enabled device with a touch screen. Very cool stuff!

Wow, what a day...

Alright, so here I'm all ready to dive into working, especially with the upcoming short day on monday (christmas eve) and extra day off (christmas), and the dang spring on my laptop dies on me. That means that there is nothing whatsoever holding the screen up, and to remedy this I was bent over like the hunchback of Notre Dame. We're driving out as I type (pc phones rock!) to have it fixed, so it should be okay soon!

Third Time's the Charm?

*In his best Dr. Nick impression* Hello everybody!

I've ignored this far too long. I have done a massive amount of work on CtC (although over a rather long period of time, too...) and it is nearing it's first demo phase. This first demo is simply the intro level, although it will give you a good feel for what the game will be like. Also, I'm having to work through the kinks of all the different dance pads out there and how they link to the PC (meaning I'll have to BUY them first!), so it won't be available for the first demo.

Once this demo is completed, the game will be able to go forward at breakneck pace! I will be redoing the Hedonism Games website and this blog then as well, so hopefully the plain-ness will be gone soon!
