Pre-PAX East Summary

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

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.

Fist Puncher Kickstarter Month: Super Happy Block Party Hackathon

Thanks to Alex Peake of Code Hero fame we were able to slip into the lightning talks at this past weekend’s Super Happy Block Party Hackathon in Palo Alto, CA. Totally unscripted, nothing prepared, just some off-the-cuff talk about indie game development and following your dreams. Watch it here:

Fist Puncher Kickstarter Month: Washington’s Wig Trailer

So you want a copy of Washington’s Wig, the winning game from IGN’s The Next Game Boss? Go to our Fist Puncher Kickstarter and for a small donation you can reserve a copy of Washington’s Wig. You also get a digital thank you card and your name on our website’s Fist Puncher credits page. Although a real patriot will pledge 5 grand and go karaoke singing and bowling with Fist Puncher Matt (but 5 bucks is cool too!).

Fist Puncher Kickstarter Month: Matt’s Retro Game Collection Vol. 1

We’re punching off our Kickstarter (see what we did there?) campaign with a series of new video content. All month well be adding new videos to help promote our Kickstarter campaign. Join us as we journey into the past and explore our classic videogame collection. And don’t forget to check out our Fist Puncher Kickstarter and help us bring our side-scrolling brawler to the masses.

The Fist Puncher Kickstarter Campaign Begins!

Fist Puncher Kickstarter

Our secret project is live! We’re happy to announce the launch of our Kickstarter campaign to help raise funding for our upcoming videogame Fist Puncher. Kickstarter is a crowdsourcing website where we ask our fans to help fund Fist Puncher in exchange for copies of the game and all sorts of other cool prizes and incentives (ever dream of being in a videogame?). This will also be the first chance to get your hands on Washington’s Wig, our Next Game Boss winner. Our goal is to raise $10,000, the funds needed to finish Fist Puncher in the upcoming months. With YOUR help, we can do this and finally bring Dr. Karate, Steroid Jackson, Kid Justice, Hella Fistgerald and the rest of the Fist Puncher cast to life. So, let’s roll. Click on the link below and help us get Fist Puncher done! We need your support! THANKS!
