That's right!

You'll be able to play Snapshot at PAX Prime this year along with the other games being recognized in PAX 10. While you're travelling the expo hall during the show, keep an eye out for the PAX 10 booth as well as any Snapshot banners.

We had a blast being in the Boston Indie Showcase at PAX East, and can't wait to show the game off again.

If all goes as planned, Myself (Programming), Peter (Business and Art), Kyle (Art and Design), and WiL (Music) will all be there. Stop by and say hi, or ask us anything about the game.

Hey everyone, check it out!

The awesome developers over at Ronimo Games sent over some Steam Keys for their game Swords and Soldiers.

If you don't already own it for WiiWare or PSN, then you should certainly check it out on PC.

I'll just leave these here:

I'd like to take a little time out from our usual blog roll to give a quick shout out to Super Meat Boy, which just debuted on Xbox Live Arcade a few minutes ago. The game is purely a labor of love from our friends Tommy and Edmund (with their audio henchmen Danny B and Jordan) and it really is quite an amazing game. They put their hearts and souls into this project, and if that's not reason enough to buy it then check this out:

That there is some artwork I did for the game. The world of Super Meat Boy is littered with warp zones that take you to retro levels based off of old video game consoles, so a number of different indie game developer artists were asked to draw custom title screens for each warp zone. I got mine done super quick so it's the very first warp zone in the game -- right off of level 1-5! (Just off Exit 3A next to Wacky Jack's Mattress Farm)

So go check out Super Meat Boy while you're waiting oh so patiently for Snapshot. If you like platformers, you won't be disappointed. You might throw your controller once or twice though.

Through the tubes of the internet my global game jam game Depict1 has reached all the way out to Bytejacker, an awesome indie games centric internet video show.

The game was featured in the Free Indie Rapid Fire for this week, so that means it's up for voting in the Free Indie of the Week as well! So if you really liked Depict1, then you can go show your love by voting for it right here on the right side of the page.

It's kind of awesome how far this little 48 hour game has gone.

...and I'm here to explain why!

We're working really really hard on Snapshot, and sometimes we just forget that we have an awesome website to update. So far we haven't shown any media involving the new version of the game. We have a single screenshot currently posted on the site, but for now that's all we want to reveal. I know, the prototype trailer released last year is getting a little old, but I think you'll be happy once we start revealing what we've been working on.

You see, these things just cannot be rushed. We need to make Snapshot as good as we can possibly make it, and well, these things take time. Eventually we will get to the point where we will want to show off more and more of the game, but for now we'll just have to keep our faithful readers on the edge of their seats.

I know things have been unusually quiet, and some are beginning to question "Where did Snapshot go? Is it vaporware?! Was it abandoned?" Fear not, my internet brethren, Snapshot is alive in well in our hearts and in the computers at the Retro Affect studio. So while you wait patiently to find out what exactly has been going on with Snapshot, you should go play some other amazing indie games, like Captain Forever for example. Or how about some Blurst games to hold you over? And even check out the upcoming gravity platformer vvvvvv!

That's all I've got for you for now, so keep your eyes peeled, and at some point in the coming weeks we will have some new Snapshot stuff to reveal to the world!
