FIST PUNCHER pose

Contest time! With one week left on our Kickstarter, we’re happy to announce a contest to give away one of the Kickstarter incentives as a PRIZE!

Here’s how the contest works:
1. like us on Facebook
2. post a picture to our Facebook showing yourself in a FIST PUNCHER pose (or send us the picture to kickstarter@team2bit.com and we’ll post it). A FIST PUNCHER pose can mean just about anything: punching, kicking, flexing, beekeeping, swinging a bat, throwing a smart car, wearing Dr. Karate scrubs, or just about anything that has something to do with FIST PUNCHER.

Anyone who enters will be added to a random drawing. The winner of the drawing will appear as an Non-Playable Character with one line of dialog in FIST PUNCHER. It’s easy to enter, and the winner gets immortalized in our 8-bit world. So put on your brawler faces, grab your cameras, and let’s start Fist Punching!

In the meantime, check out our Fist Puncher Kickstarter to see all of the crazy things that you can win by donating to our fundraising campaign.

Interview with James “Goggles” Richard III about appearing as a Boss in Fist Puncher

Posted on by

Some of our higher level Fist Puncher Kickstarter incentives include becoming an NPC, major enemy, level boss, or playable character in the actual Fist Puncher game. We thought people might be interested to learn more about appearing in Fist Puncher so we took some time to talk to James Richard III. James is one of the first people to have the honor of becoming immortalized in 8-bit greatness, and will be appearing as a boss in the upcoming Fist Puncher release. We met James a few months ago during IGN’s The Next Game Boss reality show and loved the energy and enthusiasm that he brought to the set. We knew immediately that he’d make a terrific character in Fist Puncher. Here we are a few months later, and James is now a main enemy boss going toe-to-toe with Dr. Karate and the rest of the FP cast!

Plus, don’t forget about the new stretch goals on our Kickstarter campaign including a chance to get the full set of trading cards and an opportunity to vote on new levels that we’ll add to Fist Puncher. Visit the Team2Bit facebook page and click on the poll to vote NOW! Check out the video below for complete details on our stretch goals:

And finally, we’re still accepting submissions for the Washington’s Wig Hot Beats Contest. All you have to do is remix the Washington’s Wig theme and we’ll put the best remixes IN THE GAME! Now’s your chance to be a part of the most famous videogame ever starring a dog wearing a wig. Download the Liberty Theme Sample Pack today! Remixes can be submitted to kickstarter@team2bit.com

Kickstarter Stretch Goals

Posted on by

Thanks to our generous backers, we reached our $10K Kickstarter funding goal for Fist Puncher. However, the more money we can raise, the more time we can devote to making Fist Puncher an incredible game. That being said, with 2 weeks left on our Fist Puncher Kickstarter campaign, we’ve added some new stretch goals and incentives to get people fired up again! For every $1000 over our $10,000 goal we’ll add a new level to Fist Puncher that is chosen by you, the fans! We’ve added a poll to our facebook page where you can vote on what levels you would like to see added or you can send us a message to suggest new levels for the poll. So if we hit $11,000 we’ll add the top ranked level. If we hit $12,000 we’ll add the top 2 ranked levels. Again, we’ll keep adding levels for every $1000 over our goal!

We’ve also had tremendous interest in our trading cards. If we hit $15,000, then we’ll also send a complete set of Fist Puncher trading cards to everyone that pledged $15 or more ($20 international). This set will include all 8 of the standard playable Fist Puncher characters as well as cards for each person who pledged to be added as a playable character.

Washington’s Wig Hot Beats Music Contest

Posted on by

Washington's Wig Hot Beats

We’ve had a tons of musicians contact us to ask if we need help with the soundtracks to our games. The truth is that we already have a pretty robust Fist Puncher soundtrack ready to go, and it’s hard to squeeze anything else in there. But we’ve had to turn down so many enthusiastic and talented musicians that we decided we had to find a way to get them involved.

That’s why we’re officially accepting submissions for songs to appear on the Washington’s Wig soundtrack. We’re open to music of many styles, but we ask that they incorporate at least 2 of these 3 themes:

1. Humor
2. Hot beats
3. Freedom (we’ll also take Liberty)

We’re providing a small sample pack from the ‘Liberty Theme’, the song we made on the Next Game Boss finale. You can remix this song or reuse the samples for something totally new. Or don’t use the samples at all and come up with your own idea. Check out the trailer for a reminder of what the Libery Theme sounds like:

We can’t afford to pay for your work and we can’t guarantee we’ll use everything that is submitted. If your song is chosen, we will give you full credit within the game. You can either submit a full song or just a loop, but do it soon. We need your song by the end of the month so we can include it in the May release of the game. We’re looking forward to hearing what you come up with! Click on the link below to download the Liberty Theme sample pack below, bust out your music editing software, and let’s hear those hot beats!

Remixes can be submitted to kickstarter@team2bit.com

Liberty! Freedom! Dogs! Wigs!

Back from PAX East

Posted on by

We made it back from an exciting weekend at PAX East, and we’re once again ready to start pounding on our Fist Puncher Kickstarter campaign. Thanks to the supportive people at Kickstarter we were able to demo Fist Puncher in the Kickstarter Arcade for three incredible, face-smashing days. Once again we received plenty of insightful feedback and got tons of appreciation and support from our fans. We also got a chance to check out some of the other awesome Kickstarter games that people are working on: Against the Wall, Organ Trail, Code Hero, Guns of Icarus. Not to mention some of the bigger indie games that are going to make a splash in the upcoming months: Runner 2, Monaco, Super Time Force… there’s too many to name.
PAX East - the mob

The biggest news, however, is that our Fist Puncher Kickstarter campaign hit its goal of $10,000. We are officially funded! A few generous backers in the past couple days pushed us over the $10K goal. Thanks to everyone who pitched in. But typing only goes so far, so instead we put together another thank you video where we give shout-outs to all of our new backers. Thanks! We couldn’t have done it without you!

Pre-PAX East Summary

Posted on by

These past couple weeks have been intense. Kickstarter, Greg Miller, video updates, interviews, and now we’re preparing to roll out to PAX East in Boston tomorrow. Let’s get everyone caught up on the highlights.

First, about a week and a half ago we launched our Kickstarter campaign to try to raise the final funding needed to complete Fist Puncher. There’s plenty of great incentives including copies of Fist Puncher, copies of Next Game Boss winner Washington’s Wig, a chance to become a playable character in Fist Puncher, and a ton more. We’re at about 45% right now and still have a long way to go. If you’re interested in pixel art brawlers or are dying to play as roller derby girl that confuses her enemies by kissing them, then check out our Fist Puncher Kickstarter.

Second, we appeared on IGN’s Up At Noon with Greg Miller where we did a fun interview at the end of the show. You can also check out the extended interview with Greg Miller. Lots of talk about Pies, quitting jobs, super indie icon Bean, Fist Puncher, dogs wearing wigs, and more.

We’ve also been doing a series of updates and additional video content to help promote our Kickstarter. You can hear from other indie developers, watch a talk we gave at the Super Happy Block Party Hackathon, listen to us give a shout-out thank you message to all of our first 100 Kickstarter backers, watch a trailer for Washington’s Wig, or just go to our Youtube channel and see all the video spam we’ve been flooding the internet with (no wonder the internet’s been full lately).

This weekend we’ll be at PAX East in Boston. We’ll be showing Fist Puncher and talking about our Kickstarter campaign off and on in the Kickstarter Arcade. Stop by to talk Kickstarter, give Fist Puncher a whirl, or rap about baseball (can the Brewers win the Central without Fielder?). We’ll also be wandering around checking out other games so if you have something awesome that we NEED to play, send us a message.

Fist Puncher Kickstarter Month: Up At Noon Interview with Greg Miller

Posted on by

How sweet is this? We did an interview with Greg Miller for his hugely popular show Up At Noon on the IGN/Youtube START network. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, this was the most fun we’ve ever had doing an interview. Pies, The Next Game Boss, Team Bean, triple handshakes, Fist Puncher, Washington’s Wig – this episode has it ALL. This might not be Full House, but this is certainly Must See TV! Check out the latest Up At Noon episode and the full, extended interview below.
