SUMMER WORK TIME!! SCREENIES AND PROGRESS EVERY WEEK

The title pretty much sums it up for everyone who doesn't want more details.

I'll be working on 5 different games this summer, which are a lot, but I actually plan on releasing all of them/first chapter if it's a game with more than one before the end of summer and so far things are going smothly.

Every wednesday and saturday I'll give one screenshot of progress on ALL THE GAMES THAT ARE ON THE MAKING RIGHT NOW. Meaning McMeenah, Him and three more games that I want to keep a secret for the time being.

That aside, I'll also make a full in-depth report on one of the games, the one that has gone further and announce game releases ((which will be released one week after the announcement)) every friday.

Since today's wednesday, you can expect screenies for McMeenah and Him in a couple of hours and probably for at least 2 more games ;DDD

Thanks for reading and hope you all like this year's games!!

Red Radiant over and out-!

GUYS THERE WAS A MCMEENAH COMPETITION WHAT HAPPENED

Asking that cause sadly, we didn't get ANY entries for the McMeenah Beta Tester competition which I honestly don't understand...?? So, in case any of you still wants to try I guess we'll do it again.

The thing you win: You can play a fully completed version of McMeenah a couple of weeks before the official release which is wow wow incredible sweet loot

How to win the thing: Simply upload your higher StarShip Shooters V1.1 Hi-Score, a game where you can find scrolling around on our tumblr or simply downloading it in this link right here.

Time limit to win the thing: Since we're so close to releasing, I guess there's NO TIME LIMIT this time. Just keep the hi-scores coming and we'll contact the THREE best ones when the Beta is ready.

STARSHIP SHOOTERS FIX 1.1 AND MCMEENAH BETA COMPETITION

Some announcements!! As you can read in the title, Starship Shooters has been reviewed by a couple of people and we've fixed some bugs and enhanced this and that. The changelog can be found in the Read me, but it essentially features little change in gameplay.

DOWNLOAD LINK FOR STARSHIP SHOOTERS 1.1

And as to McMeenah, we won't release it until it's been thoroughly beta tested so here's it: we'll be accepting sumbissions of your best scores for Starship Shooters v1.1 until May 11th. There will be three winners, who we'll contact when the game is finished so they can beta test it before we release it, that is, you'll get to play before it's released. Have fun trying this challenge!! We'll open submissions at once and close them the day above mentioned at 12pm GMT+0, my time zone ((Red)).

Thanks for reading all this and until the next announcement/release!!

Good luck!!

Opening this year releases at last we have our first entry for the three short game collection we plan releasing through 2013: StarShip Shooters!!

It started as a game for a class assignemnt, but Rinny and I decided to make it into a full short game, thus starting the collection. It may probably have bugs, so feel free to report them in our ask, suggest features that could be implemented and complain all you want. Critics are really welcome.

STARSHIP SHOOTERS (SSS Short Game Collection 2013)

Genre: Arcade Game

Release Date: 4.29.2013

Version: Final 1.0

SURPRISE RELEASE AND MCMEENAH TRAILER THIS WEEK!!

[ssstudio]

HE IS NOT LIKE I. HE IS NOT LIKE YOU. THEREFORE, HE MUST BE VANISHED. DO AS I SAY. KILL HIM.

"I"

[ssstudio]

You guys don't even understand how happy I am everyone has been so patient with this. There has been a number of problems that made us change the release months to our hiatus months but finally everything is fixed, just in time. Next week is my springbreak ((Red)) and also Rinny's so we've agreed to work and finish some stuff once and for all. As a compensation to our delays and, even if it pains me, as a compensation for cancelling the Homestuc Platformer ((yes, it's been cancelled)) I promise that within this next month we will at least make two important releases, and hopefully one of them will at last be McMeenah. Look forward to all this cause the journey's been long but we promise that it'll be worth it!! The new release dates will be out soon.

[ssstudio]

I recently got a better computer which means I'll be able to work twice as fast but for the time being I don't have Game Maker Pro, which is what we were using to create all the games.

Basically, I'm not going to release anything without it cause 1) The watermark looks horrible and 2) I need to use coding functions reserved to GM Pro.

I'll try to fix this asap and upload everything, thanks for your patience.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS + RELEASE DATES

I hope people read this.

Red here, making yet another announcement.

I'm close to finishing that project that was keeping me so busy ((it's due to the 16th this month)) and well in the end I had to code a game for it so UUPS no McMeenah. I was too busy to even inform you guys sorry ; A ;

The point is the Studio will resume working on all the games ((McMeenah, that Homestuck platformer, our secret project and Star Traveller)) after I give in the project and do the presentation which is oooon... the 18th.

McMeenah's still close to completition, I wanna do some changes to the platformer, the secret project is advancing secretly and Star Traveller is more or less in the unreleased Demo 1.2 state.

NOW FOR WHAT PEOPLE LIKE TO HEAR AND I'LL SHUT UP

Serious release dates:

Yes, we need some because if else we just slack til last day and end up not making it.

Star Traveller Demo 1.2 (01/26)

Yes, we finally decided it'd be nice to upload a not bugged version of the boss. It'll be mostly the same but I'll try to improve a couple of stuff as well, since I have progressed in GML programming since then.

Homestuck Platformer (wip name) Demo (02/09)

It's basically finished but yes, I wanna change some stuff.

McMeenah (03/16)

I know the game is close to completition, but honestly we have to test and maybe redo some stuff so I prefer to have a full not bugged version before releasing it.

What does that mean?? Well it basically means you're gonna havea demo or game released each month til April. We'll probs stop then for a month and continue doing stuff on May. We're human. We need rest.

Keep an eye on the blog for announcements on new games or release dates!!

[ssstudio]

Double McMeenah update!! Last two stages aaaaand that big empty space on stage 6 is something I want you all guys to see for yourselfs when you play the game. We may or may not redo some chests (according to the background) since keeping the Dersite chest for everything seems a bit monotone.

I'll post a peek of the last levels background later for all you curious people!! ;333

McMeenah's gonna be finished as soon as the reaction sprites are so the wait is coming to an end!! Hope you guys enjoy it!!

[ssstudio]

WELP it seems as I ((Red)) got sick and I've been in bed for a couple of days doing nothing, I planned on finishing that small demo so all of you could see for tuesday as Rinny lost her connection during the weekend but I hope you all understand I couldn't. Tomorrow I'll do my last exam and go back to coding McMeenah and the new game's demo annnd hopefuly we won't be THAT much late in releasing dates -.-

[ssstudio]

Friendly reminder that a completely new game looks like this.

((Placeholder sprites for the new HS game))

[ssstudio]

Some blackrom for stage 4 (as if the rest of the game wasn't based in that anyways).

We're taking a short brake to do a quick demo of one of our next projects and we'll resume McMeenah just this sunday, so no worries. This one project is Homestuck as well and applies to a different genre which we think you'll all like!!

We'll be offline til saturday and post screenies and if possible demo then.

[ssstudio]

More McMeenah screenies cause we know you guys love them.

Game is close to be finished, we just need to finish the art and correct alll the bugs. All of them. Thanks for all the support guys!
