Dead On Arrival: Playtest Update

Evan — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 00:08:48 +0000

Well we got some positive feedback after the playtesting session. A lot of the changes we have to make is just minor situations that normal users would probably not put themselves in. Things like ripping out the harddrive while trying to save. However, we have to make the game run fluently non the less.

We haven’t had a lot of time to work on the game and have been very busy with other projects. We’ll keep you updated when all the changes are made, and the game gets submitted for peer review, which is the final step before it is available on the xbox live marketplace.

Thanks again for the patience!

Dead On Arrival: Indie Box Art

Evan — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 19:11:17 +0000

Yes we know, DOA has been taking way too long to be released. These last couple of weeks have been really busy for us and we didn’t have any time to make progress on the game. But now that were back on track, expect the game to be released very soon. Final touches are still being added to the game but besides that, it’s basically done.

In the meantime we designed the box art for the game. Hopefully this inspires you a bit more to want to play the game once it’s released.

Any comments or criticism would be appreciated.

Thanks for your patience!

Dead On Arrival: Release Pushed Back

Evan — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 22:35:09 +0000

We have been really busy lately and aren’t getting as much done on the game as we had hoped in the last month, especially with adding in the new enemies. The game needs more time until it is completely ready to be released. We really want it to be a great game, and the more time we spend on it, the better it will be.

We are sorry for keeping you waiting. However, in the meantime we have at least released a trailer that you can find on the DOA page.

Thanks for your patience,

Dead On Arrival: More Enemies?

Evan — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 19:33:50 +0000

Well with only about 2 weeks left with finishing the game, we have very little left to do. Everything is on schedule and we haven’t encounter any critical problems so far. However, with game testing, we think the amount of enemies we had just isn’t enough for for this game to reach it’s full potential. That’s why we are adding in few more enemies.

One of the new enemies that has already been added is suicide bombers. These guys work in pairs and are just like the regular soldiers, however if they breach the wall, they explode and do significant more damage. Killing these guys before they get to the wall should be a higher priority.

We have many ideas of what unique enemies we plan to add and are not sure if this is going to take up too much time and force us to extend our planned release date. We will keep you posted.

Dead On Arrival: Looking For A Sponsor

Evan — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 02:33:12 +0000

With Dead On Arrival on it’s way to be released soon, we thought that we might have someone interested in sponsoring this game. If you own a gaming website, magazine, or own anything else that targets people who like to play games, this can be a good opportunity to help promote your company.

Players would see your logo and/or website every time they start up the game. Most importantly, this is not only the players that buy the game through the Xbox Marketplace, but also the players who try out the trial version as well.

If you are interested, please leave us a comment with your information or email Evan@BigBangGames.ca for more information and we can discuss things further.

Thanks!
