Here in the projects section you will be able to read up on the current project earmarked for the next release as well as some game ideas that are still under consideration and should soon progress into the active development pipeline.

Current Project: Blox of Doom

Blox of doom is a game based on the classic Tetris game. The critical element for us was to create a game that is easy enough to start with, but still challenge us to create something that is worth introducing to the gaming community. I hope we've succeeded in our goal. You'll soon be able to judge that for yourself, but in the mean time read up on our approach and what can be expected to hit the Xbox cummity games soon...

Next Project: Breakout

Without any real content, no working title is available at this time. Some ideas floating around included a space invaders like wall or even sperm cells trying to get to the all elusive eggs. These are a bit wacky and off the wall and should be back to reality by the time we are midst in development. Our aim for this game is to expand on the basic game play and take our knowledge to the next level as well. There are unconfirmed claims that multi player support will be offered and that more than one mode of game play would be introduced.

The final product is not going to give the next update of GTA a run for its money, but it is sure to entertain and provide an alternative to the run of the mill game that are eating up your valuable gaming hours.

Side Scroller

Unsure if this will remain a classic side scroller or become something a bit more than a single style of game play. Some ideas are to integrate the side scroller game play with an overhead shooter to give different levels some added flavor. This game will be our first opportunity to start introducing the gaming community to our characters that will probably infiltrate into many of the other early games. We have a few ideas that need some time to stew and develop before we jump into any art content or programming.

Pac-Man Alternative

Interestingly the pac-man alternative is more mature in ideas and development. If dark underground tunnels are a cause for nightmares then be forwarned. If the idea of going bug hunting is not your cup of tea then be sure to visit the local coffee shop on the corner rather than jumping into this game. When farmer John's well kept patch of ground is suddenly overrun with moles he had to take matters into his own hands. Take control as you scurry into the underground tunnels, ridding them of the bugs and go mole whacking to save the day.

Stomp the nasty bugs while avoiding the roaming moles. If you're lucky enough to stumble onto a lost farming tool like your angry axe or rusted rake then succumb to the pleasure of fulfilling your childhood memories of whack-a-mole pleasure. Clear the levels to venture deeper and deeper into the underground mazes until all the nasty moles are silenced.

Don't fear, we're far from running out of ideas. On the contrary we are always getting ahead of ourselves in creating ideas and features for games that we are definitely not able to tackle just yet. Next in line would be some simple 3D platformer and RPG like games to continue some of the stories already started and maybe expand on the universe of characters that you've come to know so far.
