KotH gameplay 2 & 3

Just having some more fun with King of the Hill! I gotta say, King of the Hill is easily one of my favorite new features in the game. Four player online or local, adds an insane amount of gameplay value!

Gotta cut myself off here, or I’m going to accidentally spill everything I was going to put in that next Report that I’ve been meaning to finish recording.

Speaking of which, there’s a video I still have to dub and upload!

Hey everyone, I wanted to quickly post some good quality King of the Hill footage. We’re back home again, we’ll be starting the steady stream of awesomeness back up.

Anyone worried about button 30k for the pencil, don’t be! We’ll be doing our part by posting stuff worth talkin about, and you guys can do your part by sending it along the tubes by commenting on it, or liking it, or passing it on however you can.

So to start us off, a mini epic battle!

PAX East, King of the Hill!

Sorry I wasn’t able to give you guys a better heads up, but we’re over at PAX East right now, showing off a new competitive multiplayer mode, King of the Hill!

How does KotH work in a platformer? Quite well, actually!

No. 2 Combat

Update! Lots have been updated in the Sneak Peek since this post was made, the banner just haven’t been updated! Make sure to check out the latest posts on this site for all the latest news!

You guys want to try out some mighty pencil combat in the Sneak Peek, I want some more Facebook Likes and Twitter Follows.

Would be nice to get some practice in before taking on those jerk pirates, no?

cross swords

So, here’s the deal. If / when we hit 30,000 Likes and Follows put together, I’ll add the pencil, and everyone can start slicing away.

Currently at 8,660, but we’re climbing at a nice pace. Tell everyone you know! Heck, click on both yourself!

If we hit it soon, just think what else I could add to the Sneak Peek for a few more Likes / Follows ; )

Sneak Peek Maintenance

Finally get some time to work on the Sneak Peek. It seems like a lot of code accidentally carried over from my debug build for the public release of the demo, but a lot of players have been great in helping me find bugs that are far more difficult to locate.

I’ve gone through the simpler bugs, but I’ll be working on getting the engine nice and clean a bit longer. In the meantime, I’ll keep everyone updated on the Sneak Peek page that I just made, I’ll update the bug list once I have all the versions uploaded. There were a few bugs there were fixed for the public release, too, actually, like the green building not fading when you entered from the bottom, and the Snailshell making a bumping noise when it was up against a wall.

But what everyone really wants me to update is the pencil, right :D Well I will, on one condition, and I’ll tell y’all about that once I have the bugs fixed ;)

Coverage from EA’s GDC Event Incoming!

I’ll be linking here as I find them, feel free to link to anything I’ve missed in the comments:

GDC Trailer at IGN

Escapist Interview

Great interview, a little light on gameplay footage, but you get to see what I actually do at these events! Tim from EA2D makes an appearance, also at 2:28. Look closely, 4 player Snailshell Golf is being played in the background!

GameStop Interview

I should have a catchphrase…

GameSpot Preview

A great preview, but Shaun seems to believe that Fancy Pants Man’s original orange pants aren’t so fancy! At least not compared to all the great textured pants you can earn later on!

IGN Preview

Another great preview from longtime Fancy Pants fan Hilary Goldstein. Click to check out his impressions of 4 player Snailshell Golf!
