Free Resources for Game Development
March 14th, 2009
One of the hardest parts of game development is simply getting started. This is something people ask us about a lot on meebo. Just setting up your workstation with all the proper tools can be overwhelming. There are far too many choices, and all the most professional looking apps are extremely expensive. Luckily, for any given commercial resource, there is ...

March 13th, 2009
Hey guys some of you may have noticed that we missed our blog post on Sunday night (I know Roboneko did because he stopped by on Meebo to tell me). However, I feel we had a fairly legitimate excuse because we were visiting Edmund McMillen (Gish) for his 29th birthday! David, Jeff and I got to road trip to Santa ...
Dog Weapons: Part One, Polearms

Map Editor Controls
March 7th, 2009
As we highlighted yesterday, there's been a recent explosion in Overgrowth level bulding in the Secret Preorder Forum. I've been really blown away by all this.
