Waat? Rogue Legacy Available for Pre-order!

KLee — Thu, 09 May 2013 16:00:10 +0000

It’s been a long time but we’re finally approaching the finish line! We’re really really excited to announce that the game is available for pre-order through the humble store! After a lot of back and forth, a few fights and a couple of dead bodies later, we’ve settled on a price of $10 USD for the game. That’s right, you can pre-order Rogue Legacy for the equivalent price of 2 boxes of cereal.

That’s not all. As a thank you to all the wonderful people who support us, pre-orders are packaged with a free copy of the Rogue Legacy Official Soundtrack. The soundtrack is available immediately, and was composed by the super talented Tettix and A Shell in the Pit.

And yes, the music in the trailer is the music for the game.

Check out the pre-order site below!

The Legacy of Rogue Legacy

The title to this post is cooler then the contents. Maybe.

It’s just an imgur album showing off earlier builds of Rogue Legacy, but we thought it’d be cool to show. I’ve always liked seeing these things, but I might be the only person who does. Commentary included!

Rogue Legacy One Week in the News

TLee — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 20:36:53 +0000

Hey all,

So, it’s been crazy this past week. Truly the craziest of the crays.

We just released our latest trailer for our game Rogue Legacy, and people seem to really like it! At least we hope they do and everyone’s not just being nice to us. But who knows?

Anyway, last week everything took off when Reddit brought our game to the front page of r/gaming. Yeah! Thank you Reddit! We didn’t understand the appeal to karma points until now!

If you have the time check out the comments, we answer quite a few user questions in that post.

From there, we got picked up by a bunch of other amazing game sites!

Rogue Legacy on Greenlight!!

KLee — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 18:59:03 +0000

Holy shazbong, our latest game, Rogue Legacy, has now been posted to Steam Greenlight. Where the heck did that come from?

We admit, we’ve been about as bad as you can be regarding keeping our fans up to date with our progress. It’s all to make the game as best we can though, and the good news is the game is almost finished! So it’s not a concept or a promise anymore, it’s the real deal and we hope you’ll take the time to vote for us on Greenlight!

Please vote. Please. Vote. Vote please.

If our pleading isn’t convincing enough, why not check out the official trailer for the game below?

Pixel Artist Showcase

KLee — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 01:49:59 +0000

Greetings everyone.

We’re still working hard on our latest game, and though we don’t have anything new to show or talk about (Sorry!) the artist for our game recently posted a video showing off his skills in pixel art. It is the fascinating evolution of what begins as a harmless stickman to an incredible and complex portrayal of pixel design. The art is not from our game, but it’s a really nice piece and hopefully it will excite you to see our game, it certainly excites us!

If you’re a fledgling pixel artist looking to pick up some technique, or if you just want to see the birth of some awesome art, check out the link below!

Happy New Year – New Project Unveiled

KLee — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 18:40:58 +0000

We’d like to wish a happy New Year to everyone who still visits the site (and to those who don’t)! We don’t blame you if your faith in us has wavered, since we’ve been missing for so long.

To (somewhat) make it up to you, we’re starting off the new year with the announcement of our new game! Unfortunately we can’t release all information on it, but we can let loose some details along with some screenshots. It’s a little rough around the edges because it is still heavily a work in progress, but we hope it’s enough to see why we’re so excited for it.

Now for some details:

2D action platformer with a pixel-art look and feel.
Semi-rogue-like gameplay. Your performance has direct consequences on your hero.
‘Lineages’ where traits from previous heroes are passed down to your successor.
Procedurally generated castles full of secrets and surprises.
Release date: 2013

That’s all we can say for now. We will try to be more diligent with information, in the very least getting it on our website so that our fans stay up to date. In the meantime, we have some (pre-alpha) screenshots to share with you.

We wish everyone the best for 2013, and we hope you look forward to the game as much as we do.

Mutant Blobs Invade Steam

KLee — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 17:31:51 +0000

Wow, it’s been quite a while since our last post. You can hold off the eulogies though, we’re still alive and well, and believe it or not we’ve been hard at work for the last 8 months. Oddly enough, our first news post after being MIA for so long isn’t even about us. Instead, we want to take this opportunity to let you know a great indie game from our friends at DrinkBox Studios is hitting Steam.

Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack! comes out today, and it’s totally worth checking out. You can find it at the link to the Steam store below:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/206370/

As for what’s going on behind the Cellar Door? All we can say is sit tight and stay tuned. Our next project is a big one, and the details will be coming in the next month or two.

Full Disclosure: We’d like to mention that the Game Designer on our team also worked on much of the design to Mutant Blobs Attack. Does that make us biased? Perhaps. Does it make us exploitative? Absolutely. But don’t take our word for it, check out the Metacritic score for the PS Vita version.

The Music of Bullet Audyssey

KLee — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:45:09 +0000

The response to Bullet Audyssey has been incredible, with an overwhelming number of people telling us how much they enjoy the music. While we would love to take credit for that, the kudos really belongs to the audio talent residing at Newgrounds.com and Tettix.net. To make the music fit the game though, many songs had to be edited, and all of them lost some quality to fit the game into a manageable size.

So below are links to all the songs in the game, in all their natural, unedited, hi-fi glory! Check it out!
