This summer we've been giving lectures on how to develop videogames in San Fernando (Cádiz, Spain). Just an introduction on programming, art, music, design, production... so those who attended know what's this all about, if they like it, what they like or feel more comfortable doing and overall, trying to encourage everybody to make games and make the devs community bigger!

We hope all of those who attended had a great time! We did have a blast! So maybe join us the next time? ;)

Indiespensables Made in Spain 2015 :D

Hi! :)

We were delighted when we saw that Vandal, the famous Spanish online magazine about gaming, mentioned our game 'A Hole New World' as one of the "indiespensables" made in Spain for 2015.

Here's a link to the article:

Indie Dev hang out in Cadiz

Last Sunday afternoon we went to meet some indie game developers from Cadiz, and we had a pleasant surprise, because aside from meeting Eduardo Garabito (@DazEdword) and some other very nice people, we met up two friends we had not seen for some time and that we did not know were developing games like we do :)

Here is an article (in Spanish) about our friends, Juan and Pal, that was published a few days ago on Indie-O-Rama http://www.indieorama.com/una-manana-con-team-planet-apolion/

And if you are into Shoot'Em Up and RPG games you're in luck, because their new game "Planet Apolion" combines both genres, and is now on Steam Greenlight, check it out! :D

You can click here to vote the game on Greenlight!

See you soon! ;)

Happy 2015!

Hi, I'll group in this post the latest developments on MadGearGames:

-The RetroSevilla event was great, we were also very happy because we received a lot of positive feedback on "A Hole New World" ("AHNW" from now on, for short) and give away several copies of the game.

There was nobody who successfully completed the game (the challenge we proposed), but there were several brave souls who managed to reach the third stage. Congratulations to Juan Carlos, Alejandro and Bea, with a special mention to Bea, who went farther than anyone :D

-During holidays we started a Christmas sale our game "AHNW" in itch.io. It will remain active from December 24 until January 6, so if you want to get a copy of the game, now is the time ;)

-We've had problems due to a new European tax regulation that will be enforced from January 1, this regulation will force to register trading taxes in the country of buyers of digital products. The result is that many software developers and other digital products have to stop selling their products until they get around this obstacle. We have the same problem with "AHNW", but do not worry, because itch.io promised to solve this quickly.

Edit:
This problem is solved in itch.io now! :D

-Since some months ago we are devoting much effort to complete the development of "AHNW" but this does not mean that we will abandon "Ninja Trials", don't worry, both projects are going to be finished. We decided to spend more effort on "AHNW" because it's a project with less burden on designers and we thought we could complete it in a relatively short time. As we complete "AHNW" we will accelerate the development of "Ninja Trials" ;)

We've released version 0.41 of "A Hole New World", those who already acquired it can enjoy 3 stages of the game and much more :)

-Right now we are looking for some beta testers. If you are interested send us an email with the subject "Beta Testing" at madgeargames at gmail dot com.

And last, but not least, Happy 2015 !! :D
