Here’s your very first look at Bubble Tanks Arenas: a screen shot of the tank editor.  Check out all of the features!

In Symmetric Mode if you place a bubble on one side of the arrow line, it automatically places one on the other side in the exact same place for a very uniform tank.  Or you can place each bubble individually for a unique look.  There are multiple classes of bubble tanks based on size.  As you can see, this is a Class 3 tank.  On the side bar you can see all the ways you can customize your tank: the body’s bubbles, the primary weapons, and the secondary weapons.  There are TONS of combos so that you can create your own one-of-a-kind tank!  Finally, name it and go see it in action!  Don’t forget that you have to pay for those bubbles somehow….

       

Tonight the Hero Interactive office will runneth over with young people helping us to test Pixel!  Stay tuned!

       

Happy Canada Day!  Hope everybody’s having a great summer full of sun and food.

       

Just another screen shot of Pixel which is really coming along nicely.  Here you can get a good view of how your enemies blow apart creating fireworks-like effects.  The bar at the bottom shows you your progress through the game (those white bars are save points).

       

That Hero Guy From Our Logo: The Game is making lots of progress and we’re already ready to show you a screen shot!  In this shot you can see That Hero Guy deflecting giant meteors away from the defenseless city below.  It’s VERY addictive!

       

This is just a quick note to let you all know that next week we’re planning to have screen shots available so you can get a look at the tank editor.  Stay tuned!

       

Have you ever taken a good look at the guy from our logo and thought, “That guy is SO awesome he should have his own game!”  Well, now your wishes and dreams have come true! Introducing:

That Hero Guy From Our Logo: The Game (or THGFOL:TG or THG for short) is being created by our new intern Jason.  It’s quick little game, but don’t let that fool you…it’s VERY fun and addictive!

In the game, you get to take on the role of That Hero Guy From Our Logo which means you get lots of super powers including super speed and super strength.  You’ll need to use these powers to protect the unsuspecting city below from a destructive meteor storm.  Fly around over the city and simply push the meteors out of the way, crush through them with your “bullet speed”, or blow them to smithereens with your eye lasers!  No matter which method you choose, you’ll be a hero!

While there is still no concrete release date for THG you can expect to see it relatively soon as Jason is making great progress by the day.

       

Happy Father’s Day to all the daddy’s out there!  If you’re NOT a dad and you can, go tell your dad you love him.  He’s an important guy!

       

For those of you who read the post about how our game-making process works, we at Hero Interactive have further broken down into singles to create some quick, fun, new games!  Most of the work on these new games is being done by our interns, Jimmy and Jason.

The next game that we’re going to release is called Pixel!

Combos! Combos! Combos!  Pixel is a easy game to learn but is deceptively strategic.  In the game you can choose between 3 playable avatars (as well as a few unlock-able ones) as you take on the forces of evil.  Each enemy (as hard as they try to hit you) can explode into a dazzling display of colored pixels which in turn can make more enemies explode adding massive chains of combos, increasing your score and health as you scurry about the screen collecting the pixels.

With unlock-able modes and achievements you can easily get wrapped up in the fun and beauty of the game.  Loads of enemies and effects make this game as visually pleasing as it is fun to play.  Look for the game to be completed in just a FEW WEEKS!

       

1) I finally started on the art for the office.  Right now I’m working on a huge (4ftx6ft) abstract-ish painting of Bubble Tanks.  I’ll post pictures when it’s done, but I have no idea when that will be.

2) It has been POURING here!  We can see the lake from the office and it’s rising, like, by the day!

That is all for now.
