We love bundle deals… don’t you ?!

Come ONE, Come ALL

The guys at Groupees are having a ‘Pay What You Want’ bundle sale.

Plain Sight
The Baconing
Beat Hazard
Sol Survivor
Madballs in Babo

If you havent played these games… (especially Plain Sight), now is the time to see what all the fuss is about… and with these games, there’s alot of fuss!

The more bundles sold the more prizes for all to be won.

Each bundle bought also gives 2 meals in the Feed them with Music campaign, an excellent cause.

Plain Sight Server Maintenance

I’m just doing a little maintenance on the Plain Sight servers so they’ll be down for a little while. Sorry for the downtime!

Should be up and running now!

Beatnik has moved office!

OK… so only to the floor above, the 4th floor. The air seems strangely cleaner up here, and now we don’t have to share desks! As much as I liked being ‘banged’ in the knee every time the draw was opened, or the smell of dude that gradually rose as the sun cooked us in that tiny room, our mega skills have snagged us some very interesting projects.

None of which I can divulge yet, but we have decided it was about time Beatnik had a steady stream of communication with the outside world and share the wizardry that goes on in our world, within these walls, to whomever cares to read.

Expect lots more action here……

Plain Sight…. Body Art!

We have recently been sent some art from a real Ninja Robot fan, Leo and his girlfriend. This is no ordinary art.

…the world must be shown.

LEO, BEATNIK SALUTES YOU!

As for us here at Beatnik, we are working hard to impress you with our next game. TBA.

Beatnik Talk at LUUG

London Unity3D User Group

We’ve been along to sit in the audience for a few of the London Unity3D User Group meetings now and were very excited by the informative talks and great turn out. It’s a true testament to the forward thinking and supportive community that has blossomed around this wonderful tech.

So it really is a great pleasure to be invited to talk at the event this Thursday 22nd. It’ll mostly cover our experiences of Unity over the past couple of years, with a few tips and tricks, as well as demoing some of our work.

If you can make it, we look forward to seeing you there!

Updates!

Hey folks!

We are back from working on Plain Sight, making it the perfect gameplay experience. Here’s what we’ve been up to!

Latest Update Details:

  1. Intergrated Steam works so you can join a friends game directly and see how well, or bad, they are playing
  2. Numerous bug fixes
  3. Clearer UI elements showing you when you can buy Persistent Perks
  4. Everyone gets 100 stars to spend on Persistent Perks (YAY!)
  5. Added data collection to the purchase server so we can collect metrics about how users collect and use stars
  6. Everyone will have a minimum of 30 points to upgrade their Robot Perks at the start of every round
  7. Doubled the length of Shields
  8. And one small but significant tweak – Minimum detonation Energy! You must always get one energy point larger than your previous detonation, forcing you to constantly grow bigger and bigger after each suicide. For every time you are killed, this minimum detonation energy drops by one

Get on Steam and have a game or two. Friends over Teamspeak make it so much better.

But that’s not all, we want YOUR ideas to help us improve it. So get in touch!

Under New Managment

Hello World!

We’re sorry we’ve been so quiet over the past few months. We had a bit of a rocky time internally (not to mention some server issues) but now we’re back better than ever! We’ve got some really exciting things all lined up, but for now all we can tell you is: we’ve been giving Plain Sight a lot more love to say sorry for being so quiet!

Even though we’ve been tinkering away at Plain Sight, we still need your input and feedback so we can make Plain Sight that much more awesome!  So please drop by our forums and say hello!  We love to hear from you! For any great ideas (or for generally making us laugh) we’ll honor you by giving you a limited edition Plain Sight poster!

Love,

Beatnik Games
