Armless Octopus on Dave Voyles

GDC 2011

Thu, 23 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000

I’ll be attending my second GDC conference this year. I’ve recently received my press pass as a member of the Armless Octopus. I plan on staying the full week this time, most specifically for the UDK game track. I’m also scheduling an XNA meet up for XNA and Xbox indie developers, so if you’d like to join us, feel free to contact me.

How to market your game, XBLIG Style – Part 1

Thu, 23 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000

I just finished putting together a feature geared towards indie developers on how to market their titles. I frequently find that many of the smaller, or even 1 man studios tend to have a difficult time promoting and marketing their work, so I felt it was time for me to share some of the best practices I’ve come across so far. I should have part 2 up some time later in the week. It originally appeared on Armless Octopus on April 16th, and you can access it through this link.

PAX East 2011 with Armless Octopus

Thu, 23 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000

I’ll be attending Pax East 2011 with the rest of the Armless Ocotopus staff (minus the Canadian). We’ll be there interviewing XBLIG and XBLA developers, previewing the latest and greatest titles, and are considering another live podcast like we did last year. A video review may be in in order well.

If you’re headed over as well, feel free to contact me so that we can meet up!

Pax Prime 2011

Who’s got two thumbs and is headed to PAX Prime 2011? This guy! If you’re going too, why not reach out to me before hand so that we can meet up while we’re there?

Summer Uprising Press Coverage

Thu, 23 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Thus far, the enthusiasm behind the uprising has been great. We have over 45 submissions at this point, with additional ones coming in. The press has been kind to us as well and really helped with spreading the word. I didn’t sent out a press release to any of the outlets, as the one listed below was really just geared toward the developers, but looking back I probably should have. I’ll have an updated one in the next week or so as more news gets solidified. The website should be up within the week, so be sure to check back here for a link for that. Andrew Currie of Evil Robot Logic has been doing an outstanding job of handling that for us.

Too Many Games Expo – Philly

Thu, 23 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000

While I was down in Philly visiting Armless Octopus Editor-In-Chief Mike Wall, we headed over to the “Too Many Games” expo, which I detailed more information about below. Here’s some photos so you can live through the nostalgia we experienced! Unfortunately, I didn’t find any copies of Panzer Dragoon Zwei :/
