Well, 2007 has certainly been an awesome year for gaming and indie gaming. The standard has risen tremendously.
As for me (Shotbeak Games), 2007 has been fairly slow. I originally intended to have Roach Toaster 2 finished around May/June. Well, as you can see, it didn’t turn out that way. As previously said, I decided to […]

I am going to update my site with a new theme, so if you find anything weird while I do this process, please hide by your nearest bus shelter.
Chances are nobody will even notice, since my blog isn’t that “huge”. Anyway…

On a quick sidenote. I felt very creative yesterday. It was nice.
On to main post:
I bought me an Xbox-360 controller today. I don’t have an Xbox-360 though. I am gearing up for DBP 2008. This time I am going to make a game that works with the controller so that it will have a better […]

I am getting a bit tired of slaving away at Roach Toaster 2. So, I thought I’d randomly try TorgueX today. Browsing around, I stumbled upon DBP 2008! Yes, its time to get cracking again! Last year, I managed to get an entry into DBP. I managed to learn XNA and finish a remake of […]

This week I managed to get no devtime in. I was very busy for several reasons, but I think the main reason is because I am scaling down on the development of RT2.
I was kinda hoping (when I started back in 2006) that I would finish it in 2007. Well, 2007 is coming to an […]

Enjoy.

So, I’ve been away the whole week, so I haven’t been able to do THAT much work on Roach Toaster 2.
The previous (testing) version was released (a few weeks ago) to test the new campaign following Guert’s Grind.
It was riddled with stupid bugs that basically didn’t allow you to save and load properly unless you […]

//Meh, I was bored, so I did these.
I don’t know what I’ve been told,
But I’ve gotta farm me some gold!
I don’t know what I’ve been said,
but I’ve gotta get me Onyxia’s head!

Roses are red,

I love you,

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Uncommon is green,
the plains of Nagrand too.

I did more, but I […]

I am in a hurry (which kinda beats the purpose of writing this). I am leaving for the next week, so I am doing the devblog today instead of Sunday.
So, this week, I managed to get a new prototype of the campaign of RT2 done. It has 8 levels (including a boss). It is kinda […]

To me it is very exciting to be apart of the indie game development community at the moment, and it is largely a result of the awesome bunch of people at TIGERsauce, uhh, I meant TIGSource. For the uninformed it stands for The Independent Gaming Source.
They bring about the vibe that games is all about […]
