the Official Hero Interactive Blog

Whew! That was quite a rush we got with the release of Bubble Tanks 2. Thanks again for hanging in there with us and for all of your support. That was a huge game for us - now that it’s out we hardly know what to do with ourselves, haha! I’m not sure if anyone noticed in all the excitement but I said I would update you on some big Hero Interactive news soon. Well people, soon is now!

Hero Interactive is completely relocating. The office and our apartment are FULL of boxes and we’ve been working for the last couple of weeks not only to release our biggest game (probably) ever, but also to pack up our life and business. Anyway, we’re leaving the greater Lansing area behind and heading toward St. Joseph, Michigan - a small town right on Lake Michigan. It’s a beautiful place with lots of sand and sun and we couldn’t be more excited.

My joining the company was part of the all-around changes being made to the company. Also, we’re planning to add another person to the growing HI staff in August. He’s finishing up a few things for his degree and then you’ll be hearing another person’s name being thrown around on the blog!

Right after the move we’ll be waiting a few days for our cable and internet to be hooked back up so there might be a dry patch in there where we’ll be gone and you’ll be very likely to miss us TONS!

In the meantime I have a favor to ask.  I need some good suggestions for Flash games to play.  I am still relatively new to the gaming world and haven’t really gotten out there too much.  Any really fun games you would like to suggest I will play!  I’ll also be using them for some research that I’ll explain more later.  Just throw out any games that you like so I can check them out!

Stay cool, play hard, keep in touch, don’t fret. We’ll be back soon!

       

I know that you’ve all been waiting for a very long time for this and Jared and I would like you all to know how much we appreciate your patience.  We’ve worked really hard to make this an awesome game and would NEVER put anything out that was less than our very best.  SO!  That being said…

BUBBLE TANKS 2 HAS BEEN RELEASED!!!

You can play Bubble Tanks 2 at ArmorGames.com.  It will be exclusive at this site for the next two weeks.

Make sure to give the game a 10!!!

Thank you all again for your support.  Stay tuned for more big Hero Interactive news later in the week.

ENJOY!

Alright guys.

It’s 4:00 a.m. here and Jared has been working on the final boss since this (technically yesterday) afternoon.  You know the bubble fields that you fight enemies in?  This guy is bigger than that.  YEAH!  I can’t give you a screen shot since it would totally ruin the fun, but trust me it’s amazing.

After this guy is done there are literally two or three more things on the checklist and then BT2 WILL be released.  Don’t be disappointed if it comes out on Saturday after I say this, but I’m hoping it’ll be out today (Friday).  We’ll see!

Stay tuned, ’cause this game is coming out VERY soon!

       

This is just for fun, but I thought we could set up a pool for what day BT2 actually comes out this week.  Honestly, I don’t know ’cause the day keeps changing, so I pick Wednesday.  Anybody else care to venture a guess?

The winners will get our respect.  Haha!

NEXT WEEK!  Hang in there everybody!  We’re almost there!

EEEEEK!

       

That’s all, really.  Jared and I are back from our little vacation.  We had an awesome time and did a lot of really fun stuff like skeet shooting, meandering around the Milwaukee zoo, and eating guacamole under the fireworks.

We’re back to work so we can have BT2 out really soon.  In the meantime, what did you do over the weekend?

We might be going biweekly on these polls…

       

I just wanted to drop a quick line to let you all know that up until now Jared has been slaving away on Bubble Tanks 2.  However, I’m stealing him away from you for a few days to hang out with my family in Milwaukee over the 4th of July.  When we get back it’ll be right back to the grind, I swear!  Haha!

Hope you all grill some mean foods and see some awesome fireworks and have an all-around terrific weekend.

Happy Independence Day (a little early)!

       

Alright all you loyal and devoted fans of Bubble Tanks - here’s another update.  Bubble Tanks 2 is still a couple weeks away from completion.  Jared is currently working on finishing the enemies, fixing bugs, and a few other last minute touches that will make it look really polished.  ALL of the tank states and avatar weapons are completed and the music is finished. Jared really is working hard around the clock to get this game into your hands.  Keep in mind that the fourth of July is coming up and we’re going to need a small break to consume various treats and watch fireworks.  Trust me, we want this thing out there just as much as you do. Hang in there! From what I’ve seen it’s going to rock your dang socks off!

This is the BFT Carrier.  All those little guys swarming around you are your allies.   They will follow your mouse and attack whatever you’re pointing at.  It’s pretty incredible.

Stay cool!  Discuss!
