Born Fighters web series is being drafted, along with other in house projects. GDC 2012 still on our minds here at the Studio.As mentioned before there are many Talented game designers.

Born Fighters is now on the GDC IGF website Yea. The Competition is steep and wild! Lots of great games there. All jokes aside, there are alot of great games ideas out and this will be a tough battle but it can be pulled off. Check out Born Fighters and also peep the other great games at http://www.igf.com/php-bin/entry2012.php?id=560 For the other games click on Entrant on left.

Today is a day for pros like myself. NYC Comic con starts today. The new banner for Born-fighters is on the front page. Production on the in between game has started and its full steam ahead. The details on the other game which will involve characters from the born fighters Universe will be unveiled later on this month. Also this show marks the first time One Blaze Studio will actually representing itself. Not at a booth, that’s next year but actually doing some promotions for the game and such. Stay tuned.

It has been nearly 2 months since the lite version of the game was released. Born Fighters has been updated with a few new features. We are about to start production on the second game which is aiming to or will revolve around Arbez.

So the Born fighter lite release day have come and gone. There is some delight in knowing that I have released the game and have presented it to the public. Critics will always be critic and life goes on. I have learnt alot from this process and venture. Next time I release a game I know now what not to do and what to do, you have to take the good with the bad sometimes.

There are many changes and fixes for the release of Born Fighters. One namely was the inclusion of a story mode. Beta testing is also open so all those beta testers who were given the keys those months ago. I will be uploading a new link for testing. This Journey with Born Fighters, has opened my eyes more to the process behind game design and development and the amount of work it does take to nurture a project.

There are other things planned to be included in the game. Such as Knock down moves, counters and anti-air counter.

Several months ago I visited GDC 2011, a well deserved show for many new and old game develops. Of course big and small wigs attend this event.  There was one individual that I met, whom I truly admired for his contribution to the world of gaming. Unfortunately that man has past away at the age of 70, before he died he was acknowledgement for his contribute to the world of gaming. You may read my previous post that has a link to his wiki page. I am at least proud to say I had the liberty to meet this man, shake his hand and be one of the many face or individuals, he at least gleamed a thought to.

Here is a vid of what I have been adjusting in Born Fighters. This is just a quick show of the virtual joypad for the game along with a small prototype game. Born Fighters Joystick vid

GDC 2011 was insane.. lots of new faces and returning faces. It was an awesome event none the less. It was funny seeing Team Meat jump the stage to stalk Monaco’s Creator Andy Schatz. The creator of Angry Bird (Peter Vesterbacka) received a tail wind from the creator of the Physics engine (Erin Catto)  when he asked a question will the creator of the Physics engine be credited.  It was actually funny as I was sitting right next to Catto when this occurred. In other news Gerald(Jerry) Lawson was acknowledged by the Game Diversity for his contribution to gamer.. for detail on who he is an what he has done go to  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Lawson_%28engineer%29 . This dude is a true pioneer, he had a quote that Pioneers were the guys that came back with arrows in their backs…. it sucks to be a pioneer. Look forward to pictures from San Francisco GDC 2011.

Day2 of gdc and final day of the tutorials. These are talks and information for the core developer. Had the chance to sample a little of all the different bullets such as social games. Mobile games. Indy games and other ios games. Day 3 throuh 5 should be interesting.
