Last Call: Candystand Tournaments testers

If anyone is interested in helping us to test our new Tournament Mode (more info on it this week), please email me as soon as possible. I'll stop accepting volunteers at 6PM Eastern on Tuesday.

There are an unlimited number of spots open, here's the requirements.

1) You need to be a registered user on Candystand US
2) You promise to actually participate
3) You have to send me another email at the end of the Tournament to let me know about your experience.

Again, anyone can be a tester -- they just have to email me.

Massive Summer 2007 games preview

So, I didn't deliver the Match Point Tennis screens yesterday as I promised. I feel guilty -- I really do. To make up for it, I've created a flickr slideshow featuring a bunch of the games that are due out in the next several weeks. Take a look and definitely let me know what you think!

Here's the rundown of games you'll see (in order):

• Match Point Tennis
• Snow Grind
• Downhill Skiing
• Ducati Team Superbike Racing
• Darts Challenge
• Extreme Air Hockey

Enjoy! (if you have trouble viewing this, click here)

FreeKick is live!

I'll be back with Match Point Tennis screenshots later today. For now, click here to play Free Kick!

A few updates!

Believe it or not, I HAVE actually been working since Vector TD came out! It's the rest of the team that hasn't...... :)

Seriously, though, there's quite a bit of news on the way. Here are some updates.

FreeKick: This game is just about finished. We had some last minute things to get fixed up and we're ready to roll. It will be out early next week!

Updated games: We're rolling right through some of our old content and the next few updates should be pretty welcome. First, we totally overhauled Tennis Open. We've also redone Air Hockey and are working on Downhill Skiing and 3D Snowboarding (perfect for summer, no??). We'll have screens for Tennis (now called Match Point Tennis) tomorrow. Oh, and my personal fav, RC Rally which I am super pumped about.

New (old) games: I get lots of "what ever happened to...." emails. Well, we're bringing back some goodies from the Candystand archives. We've got three football games coming back in addition to RC Boats. The graphics engines in these classics are being redone, but the gameplay will be exactly the same.

Tournaments: Tournament mode is almost ready for testing... if we could only find some people that wanted to test it our for us.... HINT HINT!! If you're interested, email me, and I'll add you to the list.

New stuff: Paintball Titans is still in development (very big project) and should be ready later on in the summer. We've also got a new Baseball game and a sweeeeeeeet SuperBikes racing game that will be along before the 4th of July.

See... we ARE busy! Now, I need to get back to Vec...er...work.

Thanks for all of the emails -- check back here soon for all the latest.
