I should really update this more often…

Lots has been done since the last post made and Shellblast HD is now at the point of completion. All that is left is for David to give it the a-ok and the promotional material to be made and it can be submitted to the Xbox Indie Games service. The estimated date for submission is Thursday 29th July and the game should be up on the service shortly after, retailing for 400 MS Points (roughly translates into $5).

Here are some screens, just because this blog post would look visually unappealing without some.

Shellblast Announced for the Xbox 360

optum — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 21:14:32 +0000

Shellblast, originally released in 2007 by Vertigo Games for the PC, is currently being ported to the Xbox 360 by us here at Optum. It will be distributed through the Community Games Service.

The puzzle game is a sequel to Vertigo Games’ titles Acidbomb (voted 1up.com’s Best 101 Free Games and Gamespy’s “Download This” pick of December ’07) and Acidbomb 2:Rearmed. It has been described as ‘a cross between Minesweeper and Picross’ and offers a unique playing experience not found in most puzzle games.

As well as taking the highly applauded gameplay from the PC version, this update will feature new HD graphics, visual effects, customisable skins and a medal system for added replay value.

The estimated release date is April 2009, with no price point currently confirmed.
