Introducing Indie Game House!

Introducing Indie Game House!
My housemates and I just launched a brand new website! Check out Indie Game House! It's all about four game developers living together talking about games and other stuff. We don't really know where we're going to take it just yet, but for now we've posted a pilot episode of our podcast which you can find right here. It features myself, Corey Nolan, Steve Swink, and Erin Robinson.

It should also be a feed of blog posts from the four of us as well, which will hopefully prompt me to write more posts on this blog. Something I've been meaning to improve on is my own ability to just write a quick blog post and post it, but I have that thing where I write out an enormous post, and when I read it back to myself I'm suddenly filled with an incredible amount of doubt, which then makes me close the window and never look at it again. Yeah, gotta fix that.

Anyway, stay tuned to Indie Game House for some blog posts and podcasts that will probably be enjoyable. We're looking for any feedback we can get on the first episode, so if you feel so inclined then please give it a listen and drop us a comment on the post. We're listening!

PAX10 and Steam Summer Sales!

PAX10 and Steam Summer Sales!
Hey! I really should be writing on my site more often than I am, but that's another topic to tackle all together. For now, I am happy to announce that Offspring Fling has been selected for the PAX10 Showcase!

The game will be on display during PAX Prime along with 9 other super awesome games, and I'll be there showing it off to the world. If I can just brag some more for the moment, I'd also like to note that this is the second time in a row that I've been a part of the PAX10. Last year Snapshot was selected for the showcase!

In other Offspring Fling news, the Steam Summer Sales have officially begun starting yesterday, and that means Offspring Fling is available for an amazingly low price! How low?! Well you'll have to find out for yourself!

It's been exciting times for Offspring Fling all around. Just last week, Offspring Fling was featured as the Daily Deal on Steam, and it was quite the wild ride. I was actually attending EVO during the time that the sale was going on, so it made things especially crazy.

I'm so incredibly happy with how Offspring Fling turned out in the end. It was a project where everything just felt right when I was making it, which doesn't really happen too often when making a game (at least for me.) I'm still aiming to write a little bit more about my thoughts and some of my process about making Offspring Fling, but strangely enough I have a pretty hard time with putting my thoughts about game making into words.

Anyway, Offspring Fling is in the PAX10, and totally on sale on Steam right now so you should totally check it out if you haven't yet. Later!

Offspring Fling Released!... What's Next?

Offspring Fling Released!... What's Next?
The past couple of days have just been a complete blur to me and I'm not really sure what exactly has happened between 11am on friday and now. I rolled out of bed that morning and saw twitter lighting up with "#WakeUpKylePulver" and so I quickly updated the Offspring Fling site to put the game out live.

The response has been overwhelmingly positive about the game! There's been a bunch of articles popping up all over about the game that I'm still going through, and some reviews are coming out that are giving the game pretty high marks! People are showing me screenshots of their progress through the game and I'm absolutely thrilled to see them all.

So now that the game is out, whats next? Well, I have some plans for an small update. Some stuff that I can talk about now, and some stuff that will be revealed later. I'm planning on updating the end of level screen a little bit to show some more information. Some people have requested to see how much time they shaved off of their previous best when they score a new best time. I'll also be saving more options from the options screen, such as the screen settings. I also want to make replay opening a little bit easier, so I'm going to try to see if I can make replays auto load from the operating system.

The next patch I'll also be trying to tackle native controller support. I've found some interesting leads on how to get this working and it might be easier than I thought. Along with that I'm going to attempt to do completely customizable keyboard control.

I'm also planning on releasing a short demo soon, so people that have been waiting for a demo to try it out before they buy it out will be seeing that soon.

So along with all of that, hopefully there will be some other updates and additions that people will like. If you want to stay updated about Offspring Fling, then I suggest you visit this blog every once and awhile or follow me on twitter.

With that, I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone that bought the game! I'm super excited for what the future holds! Now back to work, and back to finishing THIS GAME!

Offspring Fling Coming Soon!

Offspring Fling Coming Soon!
Wahoo! I just announced the release date for Offspring Fling! The game is coming out on March 30th, 2012, and you'll be able to get it from OffspringFling.com!

I put together an image to try and promote the game's release, check it out!

I wanted to make something that reminded me of the old flyers that I used to browse through every Christmas to see what awesome new games we're coming out, and since Offspring Fling is so super influenced by games I love on the Super Nintendo, it seems appropriate to market it as a Super Pretendo game.

To see the full version of the flyer you'll have to go over to the Offspring Fling website. Along with the flyer, there's also a preview of the game's soundtrack from Alec Holowka. The soundtrack will be coming out on Bandcamp a little bit after the game's initial release.

The time for throwing children is almost upon us!

Offspring Fling Revealed!

Offspring Fling Revealed!
Hey internet! Today I am very happy to show you the official REVEAL TRAILER of Offspring Fling!



Offspring Fling started as a game jam game back in May of 2011 where the theme was motherhood. I was incredibly happy with the way the jam version of Offspring Fling turned out, so for the next several months I slowly picked away at the game turning it into something bigger and better. The game became so big and awesome that I decided to turn it into my first non-freeware game! WHOA!

The game's soundtrack is provided by none other than Alec Holowka who pitched in the original track for the game that was in the game jam version. It's also the same track used for the trailer.

So get HYPE and spread the word about Offspring Fling if you would be so awesome! Oh and also stay tuned for more updates about it. The game might be coming out sooner than you think!
