Box Macabre Teaser Trailer 2!

by Billy Garretsen · 10/29/2009 (12:24 pm) · 17 comments


Just in time for our submission to the Indie Game Challenge and IGF Contests we have a new trailer showcasing some of the latest footage from Box Macabre!

One thing we did not get a chance to convey early on is the size of our bosses. Box will certainly be outnumbered and overwhelmed but with a little puzzle solving and a lot of luck he will be able to overcome the odds.

Things are shaping up and we are eager to see how we stack up against our fellow independent developers. Good luck to all.

Nice job! I work for the Indie Game Challenge, so let me know if there are any questions I can answer. Did you remember to include 10 copies of your game?

For anyone else thinking of entering, the deadline is this Saturday, 10/31. So hurry up and enter already! We're all excited to see what you come up with.

Good luck!

IGC Ira, We definitely sent in the 10 game discs and 2 video discs along with some of our convention swag. It should be arriving sometime this morning (according to FedEx). My team and I are just really excited to participate.

Scooby, what is your predicament? I have no affiliation with IGC but if it is a development issue maybe PDS can offer some feedback. Either way, I hope you get your stuff figured out in time for submission. Don't forget your pitch video. I totally overlooked that part, spending all my time on the game development, that I was scrambling at the last minute. Again, good luck.

Leroy, thanks for the comment. We really hope to deliver a really fun and unexpected experience:)

well i sent off the cds and the pitch video and then right after i got to the house i realized that i had commented out one line that keeps my automatic updater working on the igc version of the game. I am hoping that thy will let me email them a manual update to fix the problem becaus the game wont pass the update checks on my server and wont be playable...

Goes to show what ONE line can do :)

EDIT: I have it sorted out..Thank you for your help
