A few days ago I mentioned my friend Armando Soto's new site, Entertainment Arts Academy. I was honored to be one of the first people he interviewed for the site. Now, the next 100 users who use the code pizza will get the entire video completely free! That's right, you can get an hour of my glasses-faced bald head at absolutely no cost to you! How can you resist?
Our intended Halloween release date for Pizza Vs. Skeletons has come and gone, but that doesn't mean we're going to leave you without any candy! Here's a little video to tide you over through the holidays. As you can see, the game is looking much more fleshed out than in the last video. There is more real art, there are many more enemies, the level design has evolved, and you can even customize your pizza in over a QUARTER MILLION DIFFERENT WAYS! I'm really proud of how far it's come, but we're still going strong and adding new stuff every single day!
In other news: We have finally zeroed in on a release window and launch price. Pizza Vs. Skeletons will launch in late January of 2012 for the price of 4.99. It will be a universal app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod.
My good friend Armando Soto helped me break into the game industry nearly a decade ago. My experience working under him was invaluable, and his influence plays a huge part in my work to this day. Now, Armando is extending his generosity even further with his new educational venture, Entertainment Arts Academy.
EAA helps bring industry veterans together with aspiring artists through in-depth, inexpensive videos. For hardly more than the cost of a song on iTunes, you can watch instruction from real working artists that earn a living through media design.
I had the privilege of being interviewed by Armando for the site's launch. We discussed the details of owning a small, independent studio. Check out the video below for a preview. Please note: The video below is just a sample of the interview! The full video is much longer. In fact, I'd say that it contains more inside information about our studio than has ever been released in our 6-year existence as a studio! :)
One more thing: If you use the promo code Jacob before Friday, November 4th, you will get $1.99 off any video purchase.
PS: I don't make any money from EAA, but I do highly recommend it!
