powerdrain asked: omg if you guys are in contact with Arika, pleasepleasepleaseeeee you need to push them to get a new SF collab going with Capcom so we can see a return of the EX characters, if not, at least for more info on Fighting Sample.

Tragedies today
Sincere condolences to all who lost loved ones in the awful tragedies today. You are in our hearts, we stand with you.
A great loss comes over the world when the life of an innocent being is snatched from them. We are to remember the grief of this devastating event and in turn demand action for change.
We must all condemn the depravity which causes the slaughter of any innocent lives and learn...

Update - Finally an update!
Hey guys, finally an update!
Busy, busy, busy.. Lots of things going on.
Our team has been hard at work looking at ways to make Komodo Crunchtime even more lovely. We’ve been exploring different avenues with some of the game’s direction and getting quite a bit of feedback from publishers and fresh eyes on the game.
Feedback so far has been pretty positive and we’re feeling...

Stop sexist bullshit. End of.
Sick and tired of “get out of the kitchen”, “make me a sandwich”, “I’m going to rape you”, “whore”, “slut”? I’m male and I hear this when female gamers are online.
Fucking low-lives can’t see, everyone has a mother many of us a sister and yet people go online and spew this crap? Grow the **** up.

Indie-pendent Study RIE STUDIOS [Majormexx.com...
We had a really great interview this week with Majormexx.com blog author Antonio Perez. Here’s a snippet (enjoy!):

Great art demands heart
“Great art demands heart”
I was watching Masterchef Australia the other day and saw the passion and the dedication carried into the selection, preparation, composition and presentation of ingredients going into finely-crafted dishes.
Sitting there, my mouth open - druelling - I began to understand that it doesn’t matter what it is that you’re creating; as time and time...

News (Phew, let's keep going')
Hello again!
With a little luck we’ll have a shiny 2-player demo for you all soon. So stay tuned. We’ve just about got ourselves to a point where we can move on to the later stages. Stage 1 is by far the hardest part of game development in my opinion.
I really want to add some fierce boss battles, I will have to make sure that’s a priority from now on. The multiplayer works...

An Indie Journey : The road so far
The spark that lights up the path
The journey my team and I have faced has been a long and tremendously difficult one. In the spring of 2011, still in my final year of University, I decided to take my XNA assignment a small game I made called - Komodo Crunchtime - on the road with me. I took it to London’s Anime Con to see whether anyone on site would give me some feedback; maybe give me...
