So.
If you were at GDC, you may’ve run across one of these things in the form of a business card. I was spamming pretty heavily, I’ll admit. If you saw one of these, you may’ve also noticed that there is no contact info on the card… just that image with a Ghost Ship logo on the other side. This was deliberate, if a bit silly. In retrospect, I should have left off the Ghost Ship logo and just left it as an odd cartoon for folks to ponder… ah well… live and learn.
I left these (and others like ‘em) out there for people to be curious about. Blobyrinth is shaping up to be a curious game, and the type of person who would google a name to find out what the hell this was about is our type of person. It even gets sillier (word?) from there. Santa Claus is involved, if you must know.
The development cycle of Blobyrinth has taught me a lot of things… and frankly it should have been completed months and months ago. Now it is finally drawing to a close. Those four of you who have watched since the days of the “Maze of Meatwads” screenshots will be happy to know that the game will be unveiled on www.ghostshipstudios.com in April. Some time after that it will be available on www.garagegames.com, since the kindly folks over there have agreed to publish us, despite our silliness. Is there a market for an arcade puzzler with a (seriously) bad Walken impersonation in cutscenes that make no bloody sense at all? Is there? We shall see. If anything, it’ll be fun to watch once it’s out there floating on the internets.
Finishing touches… the time is almost here. Then we get to see where the Ghost Ship sets sail for next…

Well, I’m excited. And I hope you have an extra card. I’d like one.
Good to see I’ve still got the occasional visitor around here! Yeah I think I’ve got extras of my spamvertisements. What’s super extra very fun is finding out after the fact that your website is VERY broken in IE6. AAAHHHH! Hopefully I’ll have it fixed in a day or two, but MAN that’s a mark of being the silly amateur that I am.
Glad I’m not the only one that’s excited! And being local AND excited means you get invited to the launch party! Weeeee!

I’ll be there!
I saw one of those at GDC! I am definitely part of the market for the silliness and bad Walken impressions. I look forward to checking it out.
Yay! My spam was seen! Thanks for reading and commenting… the game will be done… soon… ish.

It’s still coming in April!
Perhaps a consultant might be able to help with the Vista issues?
April, for sure.
Turns out we had lots of issues… like to the point that the game would only run on the computer it was developed on.
I keed I keed… Anyway, on track now… beta will probably launch tonight!
