Changes are taking place here at Ska Studios. There are dev code changes being made. General life changes. The occasional change of previous changes which were made to change something un-changed. Yes sir, all sorts of changes are happening and are topics I’m willing to discuss with you, but only after the break.

Another seven days have passed since our last update, which is exactly the number of Gato sleep cycles that have occurred during the week and the number of times Gato walked in front of James’ monitor. In exactly seven days from now, we’ll be in Boston, showing off The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile and Charlie Murder and anxiously hoping that you enjoy them as much as we do.

We’re on Wired!

Mark Brown wrote a great article about Xbox Live Indie Games for Wired.  I am quoted thusly:

“I think XBLIG generally has a hard time getting people to take it seriously,” says James Silva, creator of highest rated Indie game, I Maed a Gam3 w1th Zomb1es!!!1. “Unlike Xbox Live Arcade, there’s no bar for quality and people tend to judge it by the lowest common denominator. Getting a reputation for massage games didn’t help either.”

It’s a really positive read about the state of XBLIG.  It’s excellent when stuff like this comes out, and we all know XBLIG can always use a bit of a profile boost.  Thanks, Mark!
