Volchaos NOT coming to XBLA, and there was much rejoicing. Also Hypership update

Unfortunately, Kris Steele’s upcoming lava escape platformer Volchaos didn’t quite make it into Dream Build Play 2011.

But according to the man himself, this just means we’ll see it long before having to wait for an XBLA release! We’ll get it much sooner via XBLIG. Way to always be lookin’ on the bright side of life.

Good news, Volchaos isn’t going to win #DBP Now you don’t have to wait for an XBLA release! Pop those corks!!http://t.co/BWEapPr #XBLIG

In other news, another of Fun Infused’s excellent games, Hypership out of Control (which we reviewed previously for XBLIG) got some awesome pixelly artwork updates for the iOS, WP7 and possible PC versions.

Check out some works in progress for yourself on Kris’s blog: Hypership iOS and WP7 Graphics Overhaul

Dream Build Play 2011 finalists announced, listed

 Oh that Major Nelson, I’m sure he was just full of self loathing while he was forced to cover something other than Halo or Modern Warfare, worse yet he had to cover Indie games. But when you are giving away $40,000 you have to step up to the plate, and get it done! Thats right guys, the finalists for the 2011 Dream Build Play competition are in and the list is looking pretty good. The first thing you’ll notice is the inclusion of several of our Indie Games Summer Uprising candidates. So we were pretty excited to see some of those titles back again competing for some big bucks.

Insomniac reveals trailer for upcoming Ratchet & Clank game

Ratchet & Clank is one of my favorite franchises. While I did much prefer Future Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time, I still enjoyed it as well. Frankly though, I am rather skeptical regarding the upcoming All 4 One game. To be fair it isn’t really part of the series so much as I think it’s an attempt to make some bucks off the IP that is Ratchet & Clank. I will more than likely stick to my thirty dollars or less gaming guns when this one rolls around, so don’t expect a timely review!

FortressCraft succeeds in million dollar cloning caper

You never know where the Hamburglar will strike

Lets face it guys, if you are sitting around thinking up your own game ideas, you’re wasting your time. What you really need to do is just identify an exceptionally successful indie game and then copy it block by block! I mean, the benifits are endless! Sure you get the initial good idea for free, but you also get to avoid all the pitfalls, bad ideas, and missteps that occur along the way when you actually have to design something yourself! Hell it worked for Alexander Graham Bell didn’t it?

Anyways congratulations DJArcas, Korenn, Uatec, MrSquare, DMPDesign, andyr00222, Arjan Kroes, & DjKeemStar on making all that money!
