I've been trying to decide whether or not to blatantly self-promote here, and have decided to go ahead. I've been silently working on a project for XBox Live Community Games besides Puzzle. Puzzle? Puzzle! I didn't want to post about it during development because I didn't want someone else beating me to it, it had to come out quickly and quietly if it was to be successful.
I've decided to go ahead and be a Ca$hwhore by posting about it now. Also, I didn't want someone to randomly notice it in the Marketplace and recognize my name as the developer, then post a cblog calling me out. I've got nothing to hide.
I actually started working on this about a month ago, but scrapped the project when I decided it wouldn't work. When
a certain other title came out a couple weeks ago, I brought it back.
The project:
Remote Masseuse. Not only can you massage yourself like the "other title", you can connect to others over XBox Live! and massage them. Do I feel a little dirty for releasing it? Yeah, maybe a little.
As a side note, is this the first Dtoid community member game to come out on XBox 360? Fitting that it's a massager, no? Just in time for Valentine's Day too I might add.
I almost sent you an invite to join me for some massaging after our Left 4 Dead session last night.
Speaking of which, what the hell happened? You were on the other team in the last level of Blood Harvest and we never got our second tank, then you got voted off. Was someone on your team hiding the tank from us?
brilliant idea man ;-)
Brilliant? That might be a bit too strong. Maybe if I had decided to come out with it before the other guy. Now I just look like a copy cat. In fact, I got a random message on Live! accusing me of ripping it off. Fair enough I guess.
I also have gotten 2 messages from fans, and an interview request. Crazy.
DO EET. Jim loves that shit. 11/10 guaranteed.
The minimum for community games. 200 MS points.
I wanted to put in camera support, but XNA doesn't support it. I don't want to see you using it anyway.
If they ever add support, it's going in.
