I’m writing this to make a brief update, and extend a warm thank you for everyone’s support. Offender 2<\/a> has been featured\/written about on Indie Statik<\/a>, and Bit Maiden<\/a>. This is amazing! Both of these places are really cool review sites, with a great indie game selection. They are definitely worth checking out.
\nI have been writing editors of online publications. Maybe I’ll (eventually) compile a list of places that feature indie games so as to help other people doing the same. After you’re done (solo) creating your game (which is a lot of work already), you promote it (which is a lot more work)… But I enjoy it. It’s very rewarding to see people playing it.<\/p>\n

I was asked if I do merchandising. Honestly I’ve never thought about it, but fell in love with the idea. I started looking around, and found Shapeways<\/a>. A 3D print on demand service. They print in a variety of materials ranging from plastic, to metals, ceramics, and full color sandstone. Which is totally cool because I will be making toys!
\nI will also use Society6 for shirts, prints, and phone cases. I’m still looking into print on demand stickers\u2026 I’ll be doing all that as soon as I have my other obligations out of the way, so stay tuned for merchandising awesomeness!<\/p>\n

In other news Rustbox Games<\/a> is working on a really cool project called the Indie Dev Collage. I think this is an awesome idea, because\u2026 well, come on! Indie + collage! That’s an artistic + creative way of promoting people. Check it out on their website<\/a>, they are currently asking for screenshots… Also worth mentioning is their Zombie Jack<\/a> — which is their up-and-coming game. I like the mentioned art style…<\/p>\n

At any rate… as a thank you for everyone’s support, I’m open sourcing the Offender 2 animated<\/a> trailer<\/a>. Maybe it will come in handy if you are learning animation… I like digging into peoples source files\/back-end-things. It’s how I learned. So…
\nDownload it here<\/a>.
\nOr check out the Offender 2 folder here<\/a>.
\n–Already some interesting things there (like code, and stuff), which may come in handy for some people.<\/p>\n

Thank you everyone! The iOS (mobile) release will be out soon!<\/p>\n
