Steam Next Fest!
Steam Next Fest is in full swing this week, and runs until June 22nd. We’ve already done our first live stream, and have had a wonderful response to the game. Lots of people have been downloading the demo, playing games online, joining the discord to talk strategy. It’s been really lovely to see people engaging […]
Dev Update: Demo On The Horizon
There’s been quite a bit going on since our last post. Unfortunately, a sudden covid lockdown in Melbourne means that everyone has been stuck at home for the past two weeks, and sadly we had to cancel our local event at Pixel Bar. It’s been a tough year for everyone and after months of relative […]
Dev Update & Upcoming Events
We’re back with another dev update, but first some exciting news. Spies & Soldiers is going to be part of… STEAM NEXT FEST! We’ll have a shiny new demo available to play, some fancy live streams throughout the event, and Spies & Soldiers will be featured alongside many other amazing new games.
A Short History of What Happened Next
It sure has been a while since we last wrote an update! We’ve been hard at work on the development for Spies & Soldiers, and a lot has happened in the meantime. So here’s a (somewhat) short recap of what’s gone down since we last posted.
Film Victoria Funding
We’re very excited to announce that Film Victoria have generously awarded us funding to assist with developing and marketing of Spies & Soldiers!
…just sleeping.
Despite appearances, we’re not dead – just sleeping. Well, not exactly ‘sleeping’, more like ‘being too busy with life and projects to update the website’. But it’s a shiny new year, what better time for another ‘monthly’ update! We’ve both been working hard, but as always, when pushed for time it’s hard to keep dev […]
Monthly Update – February
Which in this case is actually going to cover the last two months… but who’s counting! We kicked off the year with a nice solid sprint on the game. Ben has recently moved on from his work at FMOD and is now a freelance codeninja, which means Spies & Soldiers will be getting more time and attention. So what’s been happening lately?
Tablet Tests
Ben got a very rudimentary version of the game up and running on his android tablet! Not really that functional yet, but still exciting to see how it might feel running on a handheld device. We always intended Spies & Soldiers to be a tablet game, the format suits digital boardgames perfectly, but the logistics […]
Building A Website
Tinkering with a new wordpress website! Just somewhere to host our developer blog, the basic info about the game, and an email list where people can sign up if they’re interested in staying informed of our progress.
A New Version
Work continues, slowly and steadily. We now have a solid build of the initial gameplay, with proper game creation front end and LAN networking. Feels much less like a prototype and more like a real game now!
