Fame Through Osmosis

Neat!  According to this website (Zehn.de) [google translation]  Boss Rush is the 9th most thrilling action game on the internet!  Canabalt is predictably #1, but it’s kind of cool to be mentioned in the same article!

Boss Rush is Go!

So it’s been a long, funny sort of road, but after a lot of delays, (some completely unrelated to game programming, and a few, unrelated to Boss Rush at all) but it finally happened. Remember Boss Rush?  The game about being a boss, that seemed like it wasn’t ever going to actually come out?  Well […]

Music for Bossing to!

Justin Mullens, Sound Designer and Composer Extraordinaire, is the brain behind the excellent music in Boss Rush.  He has thoughtfully sent over some of the music, in long-format MP3 files designed for listening.  (As opposed to, say, looping in-game.) What’s neat about this is that the actual game only contained TWO pieces of music.  The […]

Still here!

Busy weeks! Not a whole lot to say here, but progress on Boss Rush continues well.  At this point, the game is basically nailed down and probably a good 90% complete.  Most of the work at this point is down to playtesting and polish, and occasionally adding a new level or two if I think […]

Funny how things work out

So my original plan was “I’ll start a dev log over at the TIGSource Forums , and link back to this page, for even more detailed information!” I really did intend to do that. TIGSource was going to be for big updates and news, and I’d have all the nitty gritty here on this site. […]
