Celebrate Halloween With a Twitch. And Costumes.

Our next live stream will be Thursday, October 31st, because you cannot make a zombie game and NOT stream on Halloween. It’s a rule. We’ll hand out a couple Breakdown codes…well, IOU’s for codes…to celebrate the arrival of the Great Pumpkin.

Please join us at http://www.twitch.tv/xboxlivearcade at 11:00 AM PDT/2:00 PM EDT/7:00 PM London/20:00 CEST. Geoffrey will be there, ruling the channel with an iron fist, a cheerful smile, and possibly some high-pitched squealing when he gets overtaken by twelve bloaters and a feral.

Would you like to increase your odds of winning a code during the stream? Enter the costume contest, and follow the special directions for our Twitch friends. (Please note that pictures will be reposted to Facebook.)

See you Thursday!

Break(ing) Down a Twitch?

Will the stars align? Between office moves, crossed wires, lost wires, patching madness, and more, we’ve missed you regular Twitchers. Here’s hoping it happens today. We’ve been sitting on an essentially complete build of Breakdown, and we’re dying to show it to you.

Tune in to the XBLA channel: http://www.twitch.tv/xboxlivearcade) at 11:00 AM PDT/2:00 PM EDT/20:00 CEST to check out our first DLC courtesy of Brant, Geoffrey, and lurking in the text channel, me.

Twitch With Us Friday

No Twitch today, y’all. We really need to focus on driving Breakdown into the final lap before you get it. The good news is that we think we’ll be able to bring you the nearly-final version of Breakdown to the Twitch if we go with Friday.

So let’s commit to a Friday live stream with Brant and Geoffrey and SoD: Breakdown.

You know the link: http://www.twitch.tv/xboxlivearcade. Join us at 11:00 AM PDT/2:00 PM EDT/7:00 PM London/20:00 CEST on Friday, October 18th.

EDIT! EDIT!

2 PM PDT/5:00 PM EDT/10:00 PM London/23:00 CEST on Friday, October 18th.

Three hours later than I first posted. Sorry, y’all, got my wires crossed.

Edit cubed: We could have shown you the build at 2 PDT, but our wonderful hostesses at PlayXBLA can’t host us at 2. We’re horribly disappointed, but we don’t have time to stop and be sad. (Today is more than a little crazy around the ol’ Lab. A post is coming later today to explain why.) We hope you will understand and join us at the regular time next Tuesday.

Twitching In the RV

Knock wood, everyone – our plan is to bring a dev kit Xbox to the stream tomorrow and show you Breakdown. Geoffrey and Brant will be there playing, abusing each other, ignoring my increasingly frantic text messages (just kidding – GEOFFREY doesn’t ignore me), and answering your questions live.

As always, we’re at http://www.twitch.tv/xboxlivearcade. Join us at 11:00 AM PDT/2:00 PM EDT/7:00 PM London/20:00 CEST. I’ll be in the text window with you, enjoying the fact that the chats aren’t logged.

Don’t miss the fun as we try and probably fail to survive when we turn the game LITERALLY to eleven.

Twitch At the Producer

Tomorrow’s Twitch stream will start on time. Discussions will be on topic, orderly, and useful. Brant and I will accomplish all this in spite of ourselves. All because our special guest tomorrow is Production Director Jess. This is a rare treat, y’all, because she much prefers to stay behind the scenes. But it’s no exaggeration to say that without her behind the scenes, there probably wouldn’t be a scene at all. If you want to know how games get made, bring your questions to the stream tomorrow (or post them in the attached comment thread.
