PixlBit

Hi Everybody! It's been a while since I've had an opportunity to provide an update on PixlCross and how things have been going. Believe it or not, it's been about 6 months since we "finished" the game and sent it off to Nintendo of America for certification (aka Lotcheck). Well, a lot has transpired since then and the reason for the delay is multi-faceted.

Hey everyone, just a quick update for today - as the title implies, I've updated the PixlBit Studios website, which can now be found at: http://www.pixlbitstudios.com.

Rather than bringing you the latest in our scheduled line of dev blogs, here's an off-topic one with the specific intent of showing off the new logo. I think it came out pretty alright and I hope you guys like it too. Let me know what you think!

Alright guys, as promised, here's the first of the series of Dev Blogs I've been intending to write. To set the stage, the timeframe for this blog starts around Thanksgiving 2014 and lasts through the rest of the year. 

This is seriously only Dev Blog #2!? Man, talk about dropping the ball... So, yeah, last time I wrote one of these PixlCross was truly in its infancy. To say it's come a long way since then would truly be an understatement. We're coming fairly close to putting a bow on the game and have entered our heavy testing period where we are soliciting feedback from friends and making changes accordingly. Which is kind of crazy.

As mentioned in our introduction, PixlCross has been in active development for quite a while now. The first prototype was written before being accepted to the Nintendo Developer Program and since then we've started fresh with what's intended to be the final implementation. A few weeks ago, we decided we had done all we could really do without having a dev kit in house, so we put in our order to bring one in.

If you've been following me (Nick) on Twitter (@PixlBitNick), the contents of this blog aren't likely to surprise you in any way shape or form. As you may or may not know, earlier this year (at the start of summer, to be precise), Chessa and I decided that we wanted to get into game development. This was the unofficial start of PixlBit Studios. It's an idea we've been kicking around for a very long time and just never managed to gather up the courage to really try.
