Defense Crane in the Fun & Serious Game Festival 2015

December 2nd, 2015

The 2015 edition of the Fun&Serious Game Festival will be remembered because two madmen of video games that form a group called VR Squad presented themselves there with all its utensils to present the demo of a little game that they are developing entitled Defense Crane. They were four days of fun, excitement, meet people, talk (very much) and to give interviews, in addition to dealing with malice aforethought to mythical figures of the video games history. In the middle of so many gala, photo shoot and other mass media paraphernalia, we have left the satisfactory sense that people liked our game and we may have a future in games develop. For it, we have put ourselves again hands to the work and from yesterday itself we are already stinging again code to finish the biggest defense crane´s videogame ever created.

For those who could not go to Bilbao Maker Faire, we announce that we will be in a exhibition of Basque Developers in the framework of the Fun & Serious Games Festival which is celebrated in Bilbao. The expo will be organized on the first floor of the CAC (the building that isn’t the media library or the gym-pool) in Azkuna Zentroa. We will be there in person on Thursday 26, Friday 27, Monday 30 and Tuesday December 1. The weekend got rid of having to attend to personal and work commitments. But… Ey! They are four days, you can not complain…

Enjoying the success in Bilbao Maker Faire

November 23th, 2015

As we comment already to you, we were presenting the last demo of our first game «Defense Crane» in the Bilbao Maker Faire, and the truth, we were surprised by the warm welcome of visitors. Perhaps too much, because sometimes we were a bit overwhelmed by the tide of people who wanted to try it. Part of the success to the novelty of playing with Virtual reality goggles we achacamos, but we also think that what the public saw in the monitor parallel liked. And many did so we know. All kinds of people, fathers, mothers and children could feel the adrenaline of driving our particular crane and we had fun times urging the players to test different strategies. We want to be grateful to all those who visited us for its attention and for devoting ourselves a few minutes.

New version of the demo!! (0.0.9.4)

October 4th, 2015

We have been polishing some details of the demo, and while there is no new level, we have retouched different aspects of gameplay that give it a new look.

Now the crane cable is much more rigid, behaving in a more real and solid. Vehicles no longer stop when struck, to slightly increase the difficulty, and have left the game menus ready to be used, with the options that are not implemented disabled in such a way that they already don’t bother to navigate. There are also translations into English and Basque, and most important, we have reassigned the buttons of the gamepad to make crane handling more comfortable and intuitive. Thanks to all!!

We go forward with the development

September 27th, 2015

Although it may not seem it, in the last two weeks have been busy working on significant improvements to Defense Crane: translation into Basque and English, improvements in stability and behavior of cable of crane, changes in the behaviour of vehicles to make the game more fun (we like the y…) and arrangements in the control system and minor code bug. It is an invisible job for the user, but that helps to make the experience of Crane Defense more solid if possible…
