KS Update & Pico Day & Portal Defenders Anniversary

Posted by BoMToons - February 26th, 2014


First off, huge THANKS to everyone who has supported the Super Chibi Knight Kickstarter campaign!

After a week, we're already 75% of the way to the goal. I've felt lots of emotion as I've seen long-time "online friends" come out of the woodwork and help out (many making really generous pledges). Seriously, I know how hard it is to part with money, especially for online stuff, but so many of you have done just that, that it makes my "feel goods" feel good. In a way, many of you have treated me to a virtual drink or a dinner out with you over the last week, and who wouldn't feel great about that?


Pico Day is coming up! It may be the last Pico Day held at the NG office ever. I would really like to go, but finances are tight right now so I probably won't make it (unless the Kickstarter campaign explodes or something... hint hint)

However, I am really itching to make a game for Pico Day. I've never seen a really good Flash wrestling game, and I think it would be sweet to have it star some NG chars! Here's a prototype (it's 3 players in the demo, AWSD, ARROWS, and IJKL to move): http://pestoforce.com/picomania.html I think Luis is on-board for the art, so that should be something special!


Speaking of the me/Luis team, Luis just told me that today is the 5-year anniversary of the release of Portal Defenders. Wow how time flies! I just played through it again, and the ending is really great, Luis went way overboard on that. If you haven't played it in a while, check it out again for some memories.


One last piece of news, Super Chibi Knight finally broke 10,000 "YES" votes on Steam Greenlight! It's also currently #5 of over 1,500 games (down from #2 early last week) so hopefully there will be an announcement soon about the game being Greenlit. If you have Steam, please help us out with a YES vote here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=152710075

Can't wait to see your wrestling game come out!

Not sure if you need it, but here's a great game to draw inspiration and ideas from:

That game is a huge inspiration for us. If we can get close to that, then it will be a success! (though hopefully ours controls a bit better)

It's gunna blow my submission out of the water! Congrats with Greenlight, there's no doubt you'll be in the next batch! Exciting times eh! ^_^

I don't think so, your game looks pretty nice!

If I don't get Greenlit in the next batch, I will be pretty frustrated! :-/
