Quadrilateral Cowboy Grand Jury Award I had the honor of showing Quadrilateral Cowboy at IndieCade 2013. It was great showing the game to everyone and meeting you all. Quadrilateral Cowboy ultimately won IndieCade's Grand Jury Award, which as you can imagine was very unexpected! A big thanks to the wonderful IndieCade folks, and extra-big thanks to Blendo supporters. http://indiecade.com/2013/award_winners ------------------------------------------- 3. Museum of the Moving Image The Museum of the Moving Image in New York is currently running an exhibition on independent game titles. It's an amazing lineup, and Quadrilateral Cowboy is fortunate enough to be included. "Indie Essentials: 25 Must-Play Video Games" December 14, 2013 to March 2, 2014 http://www.movingimage.us/exhibitions/2013/12/14/detail/indie-essentials-25-must -play-video-games ------------------------------------------- 4. Development Stream I recently started live-streaming the development of Quadrilateral Cowboy. If you're interested in art, code, and design (or just want to take a peek at things in the works), hop onto my Blendo Games YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umccadl0EOM&list=PLL_ZjbwBCTElzmIOfpWGzCA4hIjc6ab PB ------------------------------------------- 5. Quadrilateral Cowboy update In exciting news, please welcome Tynan Wales to the Quadrilateral Cowboy development team. Tynan is a game design veteran, an Independent Games Festival winner, and has worked on a variety of titles, including Bioshock 2. He will be contributing to game systems and level design. Welcome Tynan! A question I get fairly frequently is when the game will be released. Game development is rather unpredictable, so it's tough to give a reliable date. At the moment, it's looking like Quadrilateral Cowboy will be done sometime in 2014. I know it's a vague release date, but I expect the time window to become more clear as the project progresses. ------------------------------------------- 6. 7DFPS Earlier this year I participated in the 7DFPS game jam, where people make a first-person game in seven days. http://7dfps.com I made a couple projects.
