I've been one of the lucky few to get into the XBox 360 Blur multiplayer beta and I really like the game so far. Kind of a mix between Mario Kart and Burnout. These games being two of my favorite racing titles Blur is spot on!

Anyway I just got three extra keys so grab em' while they are hot and register at www.blurgame.com/beta

Enjoy!

Finally I got around to release iteration 14 of Hero.
Hero is a complex project and during this iteration I have made a few hard cuts in order to make it manageable again. I have removed the map game altogether and now you move from one area directly to other areas...

This new version features:

• Map game removed
• Heal spell
• Fire ball spell
• Armor spell
• A few dungeons

Now enjoy some dungeons!

Heya Folks!

For the first time ever I release a iteration of my very own game here at SoP! So it's a first time premiere right here and now!

Cthulhu Breaker is a pretty straight forward Breakout clone, takin' me back to the roots when I started out here at SoP and we were working on Time Breaker (then Spheroids).
I've worked on CB since I moved here to Gillhov, Jämtland about a month ago, feeling really good in my new place, and I think this is one of the reason that I've gotten this far with a project really.

This is as mentioned the first iteration of Cthulhu Breaker, I've not started putting in sound into it yet, and theres a lot of things that needs polish.
But all in all it's pretty playable at this stage! I'm pretty sure that there is a big pile of bugs hiding in it though, and I hope that the community can help out to report all problems encountered.

The game starts through Java Webstart, so all you need to do is to click on this link here: http://cthulhubreaker.fagertveit.com/cthulhubreaker.jnlp

And heres some Screens of the game!

Hope you'll enjoy it and I'm of to work on Iteration 2 right away! So more to come!

I love the people over at Kokoromi and their annual Gamma contests and what they are doing for independent game development. This year they even got an invitation to show the Gamma IV winners at GDC! A great opportunity for many aspiring game developers. One problem though, such a display costs money and they need about $1600 for this to happen.

I have decided to help them by letting all revenue generated from sales of T.W.T.P.B. during February go directly to support their plea. Also I've got two game codes for some casual games that I will give to some lucky winners in a Twitter contest*.

You can help to!

• Support Kokoromi by Donating some $ and get some fabulous schwag
• Buy T.W.T.P.B. and all revenue will be Donated at the end of February
• Spread the word on Twitter and possibly win a game*

* The Twitter contest works like this

1. Tweet this message "RT @SpellOfPlay: Help Kokoromi Send #gamma4 To San Francisco and Win a Game! http://bit.ly/dmWiYZ"
2. Your entry will be collected in this post as soon as I see it in my timeline.
3. Wait... I will draw two winners at the end of February and send them their codes.
