PR work nearly done

My Escape Goat press kit is nearly complete.  This weekend I put a lot of time in on the trailer, which is just about finished.  I’m getting some feedback on it and letting it marinate overnight, so tomorrow it should be good to go.

Website Update Part 1

This morning I got to take care of some long overdue housekeeping with this site.  Since I have two domains, soulcastergame.com and magicaltimebean.com, it was time to merge them.  90% of links to this site were using soulcastergame.com, but with the advent of Escape Goat and other future IP’s, it’s definitely time to put it all under the magicaltimebean banner.  Fortunately, BlueHost makes it easy to set up wildcard 301 redirects to handle this, and the lore of the internet tells me Google should preserve my pagerank.

I also properly categorized these posts and added them to a menu bar at the top.  The Articles will have the most interesting stuff, because these are the thoughtful essays I write about every so often.

In preparation for Escape Goat, I’ll be adding some graphics finally, and should have a dedicated page for it within the next week.  Some other cool stuff to follow as well, stay tuned.

 

One More Week…

Escape Goat has lost its first round against the monster king that is Peer Review, but it shall rise again in six days’ time…

Final Push To Glory

After some relentless work and lost sleep in the last 48, Escape Goat is basically done!

The music is sent off for mixing and mastering.  The art is complete.  The level design is complete.   Still no known bugs…

I’m taking the weekend off the project, so when I get back I’ll be able to make some minor adjustments to the story, complete the box artwork, and stuff like that.  It’s been an incredibly challenging journey to get this far, and no matter how successful the game is, I’m really proud of what I’ve created.  When it comes out next month, I hope you enjoy it!

In other news, I found an interview with Cursed Loot developer Eyehook Games, where he gives a shoutout to Soulcaster.  Awww, thanks amigo!  That means a lot, seeing as the game-formerly-known-as-Epic-Dungeon remains one of the most addictive and polished games on XBLIG.
