A game that people should play is Time Viking! with Space Raptor in Xbox 360 Indie Games. Probably the best dollar I've spent recently.

Played my first run of Time Viking on Xbox 360. Blew up the moon and scored over 1.5M points. It's so worth $1.

Thanks for your love and support, everyone! Let’s make this another great year.

I also understand and thanks. Working with Microsoft since DW:DS has allowed Ska Studios to become a full time company though. Without them, James may still just be a hobbyist with a terribly unsatisfying day job writing JavaScript. His fans from back in the day are fiercely loyal to his old ways but they weren’t large enough of a group to make it a self-sustaining company. If it helps, we are going to release VS to Steam. We’re also thinking heavily right now on releasing other games on PC, including all new ones. I know it’s frustrating to not get up to date news, There’s not always enough interesting info to post about. It may be as basic as “Had to get everything working in the new Visual Studio but got it running on my desktop.” I’ll try to get more of that moving forward.
I know, of course you’re right, and thanks for the answer. It’s just that pc users that were following ska studios since your first pc games kinda feel left behind since all your awesome games started all being xbox exclusives. We cry a little every time a new one is released.
That’s the reason we’re so douchy about it sometimes, sorry about that.
Janetr, walikor asked in a way that was just fine. You did not. We don’t mind being asked critical questions but we’re human beings with feelings and everyone deserves to be treated with respect. We understand how you feel: we anxiously await games we’re excited for too but being developers we also understand quality takes time. If you read James’ post carefully, he explains that the quick port is full of bugs and not of a level of quality we’d be happy with. It takes time plus we want to add things to the game to improve it even more, that’s something a quick and dirty fan port can’t do. Even more besides all of that, we have a Charlie Murder patch to release and other new projects in the works to pitch to make sure we have a future in continuing to develop games. We enjoy it, but I must say our plates are quite full. We didn’t forget, and we won’t. Time is a precious resource and we unfortunately cannot possibly make everyone happy all the time. C’est la vie.
Exactly! Why take down the russian guys’ version if you’re not gonna do it before 2020. How hard can it be if he did it, and didn’t even make the game.
Happy new year.
happy new years guys,but where is The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile pc version?
thanks
Thanks Paul and Some Guy. Let’s try to keep it nice though. It is kind of out of place to just say “buy it!” rather than “please check it out”. We do like to give other indies support if we can figure out who they are. I’m trying to figure out who the devs are but all I can find are stock photo cute ladies on Twitter.
Long Live Ska studios.
Also lol’d at the guy talking of his game, wrong place to talk about that.(also looks terrible, has no content and is overpriced)
Awesome game !! Bought it, now buy my game I workd on … “Blood & Bacon” !!!!
Played quite a bit of TIme Viking last night. So much good, goofy fun! Also, the soundtrack alone makes it worth a purchase. Well done Ska!
