Six months of Flock!

Six months of programming at Proper Games and I haven’t been doing a very good job of keeping my blog updated. Mostly its because I’ve been putting in long hours of programming during the work day … and late nights with my friends.

But now things have settled down at the office as we are close to finally getting our game out the door. That means I have a bit of time to post some of the great press our game has been getting. So here are some links!

“You see that video right up there? That’s a trailer for the coolest thing I saw at CES. Oh, sure, Resident Evil 5 was being played on the side of Planet Hollywood and there was a porn convention going on in Vegas at the same time, but Flock! speaks to my interests in a way that half-naked starlets and zombies never could.”

“It may not be clear why the aliens are looking to abduct the stuffed animals in Flock but, based on what we’ve seen of the game, we certainly don’t mind helping them out.”

“On the whole, I’m pretty psyched for Flock!. The visual style is highly adorable and the concepts seem simple enough for just about anyone to grasp while offering enough challenge to keep fans of a good action-puzzler happy.”

“…this is looking to be a very strong downloadable title.”

“…Flock! speaks to my interests in a way that half-naked starlets and zombies never could.”
