BOOM! Updates Ahoy!

Hi everybody! Just a few quick things to update since I haven’t posted anything in a while. Firstly, as you can tell, there's a new site theme we're trying out. I think it looks spiffy. So that you can tell us what you think about the remodel (or anything else for that matter), not only do we still have a Facebook and Twitter, but we now have a Google + as well! On top of that, we've acquired WRAITHGAMES.COM so you can get to here from there as well as our .ORG

Thirdly, but surely not least of all, we're officially announcing 2 new games:

The first is Collapsus, an Android/iOS puzzle game that long-time followers may remember the taste of and the second is Fly Guy, a free-to-play web game. You can visit our GALLERY for some early screenshots uploaded with this post.

I know what you all might be thinking, and no, Physix WILL be keeping on-keeping on and on top of that we hope to have new screens, videos and a playable demo soon... we've just had more work on to do to make it awesome enough for the “final beta” mentioned a few months back and we'd rather post something huge rather than smaller things here and there.

 

Collapsus and Fly Guy are just some side projects that “turned real” faster than anticipated, that we hope will be out soon. As always, we're taking the “it's done when it's done” approach with Physix and these new games are the same way, but we think they’ll be out considerably faster than Physix.

 

Again, let us know what you think by visiting our social network pages and keep on PLAYING HARDER!

Don't tell Scotty

Hey guys! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! We did. Though to be honest, it's been pretty hectic around here and quite honestly, we don't have much to show for it. Work on Physix has been pretty much centered on the graphical side of things (working on shaders and the like) and despite all that, the game doesn't seem to "want" to look all that much better than the screenshots we posted in our gallery a little while back. Keep in mind though, it's still better, just not much better and we don't know if the engine can “take much more of it captain” if you know what I mean, so the graphical improvements may have to stop soon for better or for worse. Also, as you can tell, we made yet another change to our site as our web ADHD is a driving force on our way to world domination. We hope to be improving it even more as time goes on, but for now, this is what we've got.

 

Anywho... We here at Wraith have been feeling a mite generous, as in the last couple months, we've managed to donate a bit of money to some causes we think are awesome. Get Well Gamers (a company that puts game consoles in hospitals for sick children), GameTrekking (helping fellow indie designer Jordan Magnuson travel around the world and make games about his experiences) and Indie Game: The Movie (an awesome upcoming documentary about indie game design, development and culture). We hope you take some time and look at these projects too, as they are very close to our hearts.

 

We hope to have more updates due to the easier-to-post blog format, but whenever we seem to plan posts, that never really works out, but hey. We hope to keep everyone informed so if there are no updates here, look out for some on our Twitter or Facebook. As the winter approaches, we hope you all keep toasty and Play Harder!

A tale of two overhauls

It's been a long time and we have much to show for it. As you've seen, we've made a complete overhaul of the site, going from a blog-thing to a sleek new Flash format. Not only can can you still find news (obviously), but we have all sorts of new pages over on the toolbar over on the right as well.   One of the things to note in the Gallery are all new (totally revamped) screenshots from Physix. We've taken most of our time (after updating the site) to try and bring new life into the game (because that's really what it should be all about). There's been a massive engine overhaul over the last few months (which still aren't even complete) which add all sorts of new elements to not only the graphics, but the gameplay and overall stability as well. It's a bit of a leap and the game is still evolving as time goes by, but we hope all of you are happy with the upgrades so far. Make sure to tell us what you think by following us and commenting on our Facebook, MySpace and Twitter pages (links also on the right).  As for anything else, we're hoping to have more frequent site posts as development rolls along as well as a new video coming when the engine updates are complete. Until then make sure to Play Harder!
