We just finished picking out all the music we want to use with Breath of Death VII and programming it in to make sure it sounds good in-game. Now, we’re just waiting to hear back from the musicians for permission. I hope everyone agrees to let us use their music – we’ve got an excellent set of songs right now that fit the game very well and I’d hate to have to change any of them out.
Zeboyd Entertainment is proud to announce their upcoming game, Breath of Death VII: The Beginning for the XBox 360. Join Dem the Skeleton Knight, Sara the Ghost Historian, Lita the Vampire Techie, and Erik the Zombie Prince as they explore a world filled with the undead, searching for the secrets of the past. Some game features include:
Fast turn-based combat!
Retro visuals reminiscent of the best of 8-bit & 16-bit RPGs!
720p!
World map filled with several dungeons & locations to explore!
Frequent LVing up with a deep, yet easy to understand character upgrade system!
Special multi-character techniques & a combo count system add strategic depth to combat!
All this for the low, low price of 80 MS points ($1 USD)!
Breath of Death VII will be coming to XBox Live Indie Games in March-April of 2010.
Crosstown - a rather enjoyable retro Action/Shooter/Maze game – has recently had a price drop to 80 MS points. I thought it’s initial price of 400 was a bit much compared to the competition, but at its new dirt-cheap price, I highly recommend it.

Microsoft’s Dream-Build-Play Challenge is coming early this year…and it’s joined by a second contest as well.
The Standard Challenge is the same as previous challenges. Register before January 18th and submit your game between Jan 19th & March 3rd of 2010. Games will be judged by a panel of judges based on Fun factor (40%), Innovation (30%), and Production Quality (30%). There are 4 prizes – Grand Prize ($40k), 1st place ($20k), 2nd place ($10k), and 3rd place ($5k) with the winners announced in March.
The second challenge is the Microsoft Old Spice Challenge. Basically, you make a game utilizing and advertising some new scents from Old Spice (Matterhorn, Fiji, Denali, and Cyprus). Same deadlines as the standard challenge. Games will first be judged by a panel of judges based on Branding Integration (50%), Fun Factor (25%), and Production Quality (25%). 5 finalists will be chosen. The games by those finalists will be placed on the XBox Live Marketplace Dash for about 3 weeks in April for public voting. The entry with the highest votes will win the Grand Prize of $60k. The other 4 finalists get nothing.
You can enter both contests if you want and use the same game for both if appropriate.
I’m rather excited at the chance of actually submitting an entry to one of these contest this year. I just finished Molly the Were-Zompire and was starting work on my next game so this should help give me an extra incentive to work hard on it.

Hexothermic was one of the best and most original puzzle games on the service when it first came out nearly a year ago. It recently dropped in price down to 80 MS points so now you all have no excuse for not owning it.
Likewise, I really enjoyed the demo of Ninja Guardian but at 240 MS points, I thought it was a little more expensive than I’d like. However, at 80 MS points, it’s quite the steal, so I’ll definitely be grabbing it sometime soon.
In other news, the excellent Halfbrick Echoes & Halfbrick Blast Off games have recently been ported to the PSP Minis service. They’re great games at low prices and perfectly suited for portable play so be sure to give them a try.

Happy Birthday to Zeboyd Games favorite gamer, Robert! Robert is 29 years old today and will most likely celebrate by shooting things (probably zombies – we can’t let them get the upper hand, can we?)

The XBOX controller has become a part of him.
