Default A New Logo

A special Monday update. We got Mystery Monday coming up later today but first some other news!

We got a new logo! The original logo was too simple and didn’t really do the quality of the game justice so we’ve remade it. We hope you like it.

We have updated our Press Directory with these new logos and new very high resolution artwork.

In other news, exactly one week left to finish and deliver the first Gold Master. The build of the game we built over the weekend is the first build that we feel is a really serious release candidate. Couple of issues popped up though, but we seem to have most of those under control or expect to get them under control within the next few days:
  • Having trouble adding Steam DRM into the game (Steam DRM = not being able to run the game without running Steam in the background)
  • Game freezes on exit sometimes.
  • The Save/Load menu takes seconds to open.
  • No Gore still doesn’t work 100%.
  • Game crashes during Survival if you swim over the Ball.

Those are the critical issues that we are aware of at the moment that we really need to get fixed. It will take us a couple of weeks to go from Gold Master to getting it out on Steam and in the stores, so you are looking at release somewhere in the first half of October. The exact date will be announced later!

And lastly, Tripwire Interactive will be presenting The Ball at the PAX conference later this week, so if you are going there be sure to stop by their booth!

Check back tonight for Mystery Monday!

Now I've forgotten what the other logo looked like D:

Anyway, it looks a lot better. Can't wait to try the game out!

This is coming out earlier than expected. Really well done!
As for the logo, I like the ball logo a lot, but the writing could use a little more contrast. Might come off this grey scaled background, though.
