We knew we wanted Pinnacle City to shift and change over time in order to create an interesting, dynamic world to explore. However, we needed to keep the scope reasonable. We are not creating a sandbox or MMO game, so we had to pick and choose the... (Read More)

By the time you read this, I will be dead. It will have been a gruesome death, as I am buried under an avalanche of Easter eggs. Death by chocolate, if you will. Like Christ, it will take me three days to rise again, carrying the weight of my guilt in my stomach. So before I get so fat that I can’t reach my keyboard, let us turn our attention to the games and projects you could help fund in April and May. (Read More)

For today’s update we thought we’d talk a bit about Pixel Noir’s battle system and explain how it works, feels, and plays. Having a robust battle system is absolutely critical for classic RPG’s, so it should come as no surprise that we spent... (Read More)

For today’s update, we focus on something near and dear to our heart—the story of Pixel Noir. For us “story” is not simply the plot of the game. It’s bigger than that. It’s lore; it’s dynamic interactions; it’s design.  The Tale of... (Read More)

Crowdfunding website Kickstarter is almost certainly the only location where your laundry simulation game will make you an overnight millionaire. However, with the money lending destination’s games section looking a lot like an ant’s nest of console, computer, and mobile ventures, it can be difficult to discover new projects targeted at Sony’s suite of systems. Fortunately, we’ve got your back, and have rounded up all of the potential applicants, allowing you to spend more of your time dreaming up ideas for your own campaign – like an ironing stretch goal. (Read More)

Cross Save Summer vacations, holidays, and long weekends gave many of us growing up the chance to lose ourselves in our favorite video game worlds. Whether it was Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, or another title, long-form RPG’s require time and... (Read More)

Hey everyone! First off, as of writing this, we are at 400 backers! THANK YOU SO MUCH! We all are still recovering from PAX East 2014, but before I get started, thank you to everybody who has pledged, liked, shared, tweeted, blogged about, or somehow... (Read More)

In Pixel Noir’s Kickstarter video, the lead developer over at SWDTech Games hit the nail right on the head, and said what many people are afraid to say in this retro-worshipping world of pop culture we all live in. The classic RPG feel hasn’t really evolved over the last decade. Other types of RPG have come along and taken over the mainstream, but the RPG structure that many of us grew up with has either been abandoned in some circles or simply repeated in others, with little innovation and progression taking place within the genre. Pixel Noir is SDWTech Games’ step in the right direction? What steps are being taken? (Read More)
