Broken Kings Inc. So close ladies and gents! We weren't able to finish testing in time last night, so we're doing that today and then to the app store she goes :)

Broken Kings Inc. At the beginning of today, we had 6 backgrounds ready for the current update, and needed about 10 more to be able to finish the update. Today,, Josiah hit a spell of inspiration and now we have 22 backgrounds for the campaign. There are only 20 levels! Needless to say, some must be ignored, but it's a sign that despite... our period of latency, the inspiration for this game is as full of life as ever :)

Broken Kings Inc. Units from the new campaign, spoiler #1: Wood Druid, Wild Druid, Pull Druid

Broken Kings Inc. Back in town from a wedding, most of the new art is now completed. Finishing up the units and hopefully last of the levels today. Then testing, adjusting level art, and submission!

Broken Kings Inc. Work on the update is nearing completion when we hit a roadblock - Josiah's computer has just died a painful death, causing in the loss of all tools + all the last days work. Still gunning for the Aug. 25th submission but things could be pushed back a day or two, depending on how things go.

Broken Kings Inc. Work on the Castle Conflict update, which we hope to have out this month, is off to a good start. The first new unit, the Wood Druid, is potentially very abusable. Will be interesting to balance.

Broken Kings Inc. It feels pretty good when you release a game with 39 levels and players are almost universally begging for more levels.

Are some games intentionally designed to be addictive? Absolutely. And the designers did a damn good job, also.
