In thanks to all the people who have shown support for the big ball of stylistic cheese that is Glistening Chests, and making it our best selling game this year, we have decided to make this complete GC adventure freely available for anyone brave enough to download it:
Glistening Chests: The Sack of the Northern Pole
Fair warning, like all Glistening Chests products, it is full of double-entendres and embarrassing displays of Sword and Sorcery schlock. Read it at your own risk. Of course, if you appreciate this sort of thing, the entire adventure is presented in a narrative format, and still makes an amusing read even if you’re unfamiliar with the underlying mechanics.
We have also decided to extend our special holiday sale on The Massive Vs. The Masses through January, to help give it a shot at being our most successful product for next year.
It’s been a while since there’s been an announcement around here. There are a number of fascinating reasons for that, ranging from the loss of our primary hard drive for notes on games-in-development, to working on a pleasant upcoming surprise. Today though, we’re here to talk about our flagship game MvM.
The rest of the first print run of The Massive Vs. The Masses: Gamorzilla Vs. The Army is taking up a lot of space here which we need to clear out to work on our army of atomic zombie men upcoming products. So until they’re gone or we come to our senses, you can get your copy for only $25. Not to sound like a used car salesman, but that is a completely ridiculous price. You’re basically paying for just the raw materials that go into each copy. So it would be a very good idea to grab a copy while you can by clicking the link at the bottom of this announcement, because you’re never going to get a game of this quality this cheap again.
Just about everyone involved in the company has been in a state of semi-vacation through the month of June, either getting married, attending a wedding, or celebrating an anniversary oddly enough. A slightly delayed new podcast, consisting of a discussion of the artwork of The Massive Vs. The Masses with the artist responsible is now up, and a few interesting RPG projects have been making nice progress behind the scenes as well.
It’s official. We have a regular monthly podcast. You can check it out right here:Â http://www.gcast.com/u/WorldDomination/main
This month’s is a bit of the history of the company, and some candid talk on various obscure and potentially embarrassing games of the distant past and future. Next month, we plan to dedicate the whole show to The Massive Vs. The Masses and the art behind it, so if there’s anything you’d like to hear about specifically, let us know.
Last week’s Glistening Chests giveaway proved to be quite surprisingly successful. A pretty decent number of people picked freebies up, a number sent along messages afterwards with some very positive feedback about the game, and since the offer expired, quite a few people have actually come by and bought copies outright.
As this generally indicates success and interest for this sort of thing, we plan to release over the coming months a number of games with similar mechanics, but highly varied themes.
Also on the subject of feedback, it has been suggested that we start up an official WDL podcast. Theoretically, everything needed to do so is at hand, so if anyone has any questions or comments they’d like to have addressed in audio form, Â particularly with regards to Glistening Chests, feel free to either e-mail them, or leave comments on this post, and hopefully something should come of it.
Susan Richardson, illustrator for all of the cards in The Massive Vs. The Masses, along with the rest of the game’s art, and our company logo, has recently set up a DeviantArt site where you can order larger prints of a few choice illustrations, along with a number of other pieces worth a look. She’s also accepting commisions these days, so check it out when you have a chance.
Our main index/news page has been upgraded from “essentially a blog” to “actually a blog.” Enjoy your newfound ability to leave comments, search, and not have years-old announcements hanging around the bottom of the page.
