Trenches VS Promo Art…and a Free iPad??

March 26, 2010

FI-VS

Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to post up this bit of promo art I did for the epic new update to Trenches.  As the guys over at TGW put A HUGE amount of work into creating the amazing co-op and vs mode, they wanted to have a new piece of art to promote it, showing the British solider and the German soldier facing off in a true 1 on 1 fashion.  This was great fun!

Also, to go along with the update, they are giving away a free iPad!  If you fancy winning yourself a free iPad, check out the competition over at TGW, as lets face it, getting a free iPad for playing an awesome game is pretty much a no brainer ;)

Enjoy :)

Yeah ok, so its not a free copy of the game, but something aaaalmost as cool. Its a printable and build-able piggy all of your very own, yey!

All you need to do, is download the file by clicking on the image, print it off and then simply cut it out and stick it together! And there you have it, hours of endless fun, flying your very own Super Turbo Action Pig around your office, home or hell, just about anywhere!

There will be more of these to come too, so get ready to complete your very own set :)

Super Turbo Action Pig trailer live!

March 5, 2010

Yey, I finally launched the Super Turbo Action Pig trailer!  I went the whole hog with this baby and lavishly created it in lovely HD 720p, which is a tad over the top for a game that runs at 480×320, but what the heck, its was a great chance to do some animated cartoon cut scenes in HD :)

If you like the trailer, why not head on over to YouTube and give us a lovely 5 star rating :)

The game is going into submission today, so I’ll keep you posted, and as soon as its launched, you’ll hear about it here first!

Thanks.

Mike

Super Turbo Action Pig is complete!

March 1, 2010

Hey Everyone,

I know most of you have been waiting to hear this quite some time, but Super Turbo Action Pig is now complete!  We had the final testing session last week, which highlighted one last teeny weeny bug, which we can now say is ironed out!  We’re launch ready!  We have a little PR work to do this week, but by the end of this week, the game will be submitted and in the App Store very soon (fingers crossed).

Just before we submit the Pig, we’re going to launch the new site too, which is also complete, so keep your eyes peeled for a site launch alert as its going to be cram packed with cool downloads, screenshots and info.

Finally the Pig is about to fly!

Emails, Super Turbo Action Pig and Im now a dad!

February 10, 2010

Hey everyone,

Just a quick post to say that I’ll be back to full speed really soon.

On top of the huge influx of enquiries that have been flooding in (thanks everyone!!), I became a dad a couple of weeks ago, so life has just got a whole load busier and brilliant ;)  He arrived a little earlier than expected, so its played havoc (albeit rather amazing and wonderful havoc) with my calender, and I’ll be getting back to everyone as soon as possible.  So if your waiting for a reply, I do apologise for the delay and I will be back to you very soon.

Added to all this, Super Turbo Action Pig went into Beta testing recently (thanks for the testing everyone) and is now having a some cool extras thrown in based on some very awesome feedback.  Soooooo, the game is going to be ready really soon (I know I’ve been saying this since November ;) and the site is launch ready!

2010 is proving to be a rather marvelous and exciting year!

Catch you all soon.

Mike.

Free Desktop Wallpaper!

December 10, 2009

promo-image

As we’ve had a couple of hold ups on the game’s release, I just wanted to make you all a nice desktop wallpaper to brighten up your day :)  We’ve been adding some extra polish to the game recently and subsequently came across a couple of development time increases, but we’re aiming to get this ‘submission ready’ for mid/late January…we’re nearly there!

So, grab yourself a free wallpaper right here…and don’t forget to pass on the link to your friends, as lets face it, who needs Playboy Bunnies, Ferrari’s and epic scenery on their desktop when they can have a flying pig ;)

Here they are:

Quite a few of you have been mailing and tweeting to ask for more info about the game…now even though we are being sketchy about the game (not just to keep you interested but also to make sure no one else goes and makes the game before us ;) what I can say is that its an endurance game!  Its sent to test your gaming skills!  Also in addition to this, we can now confirm that Open Feint is the global scoring mechanism.

The new site and AWESOME teaser trailer will be finalised over the Christmas break…mince pie in one hand, Wacom pen in the other :)

Thanks, I hope you all enjoy the wallpapers!

Trenches Unveiled

November 15, 2009

Hey Everyone,

I posted an entry recently about a collaboration I was part of with the guys over at www.thundergameworks.com, and this weekend they officially announced the game!

Its called Trenches and as you would expect is based during WW1 and features trench warfare…and that’s all I’m saying ;)  There is a lot of chatter around the web about the genre of this game, and the guys at TGW are keeping shtum for now, so I’ll keep up the secrecy and say no more here.

This project has been one of my all time faves, its been BRILLIANT from start to finish, and hopefully you’ll all see the amount of time and love that’s gone into it.  Take a peek at the two peices of preview art below and rest assured, this isnt just flashy promo art, the in game art is of the same ilk…only smaller :)

You can follow Thunder Game Works updates on Twitter here as much more will be revealed over the coming weeks leading up to launch.
