As many of you know, we revealed what BIT.TRIP FATE looks like in action at the Destructoid LIVE PAX event today! Here’s what we all saw…
You can check out screenshots on the Official BIT.TRIP FATE page, and just to try something new, we’ve decided to release the soundtrack TODAY!
That’s right! Head over to CDBaby to get your groove on in preparation for the upcoming WiiWare release (soon) of game five in CommanderVideo’s saga.
Continue rocking on. Over and out.
That’s right! The IndieCade 2010 finalist list is in, and guess who makes an appearance!
Right again! CommanderVideo will be running to the finish line as BIT.TRIP RUNNER competes for mad props alongside 31 other wonderful candidates!
I guess you’ll be able to find us in LA come October! Fans, let’s make this an IndieCade to remember! I look forward to meeting each and every single last one of you there.
Wish us luck!
Continue rocking on. Over and out.
Too much to talk about. Everything was awesome. Check out some of the photos…

Talkin' 'bout a Gaijin keynote speech right here, yo.

The Hamp, is this going to hurt me? Yes. Yes it will.
Someone ruined my shoes!!!
And that is all.
Continue rocking on. Over and out.
That’s right! Tomorrow I wake up insanely early to catch a flight outta here!
I’ll be speaking at the iDÉAME event at The Complutense University of Madrid where they have a Masters program in Video Game Development!
Being that I am a self-proclaimed master of video game development, it seems appropriate, I must say.
Also, I don’t speak Spanish, so I’m hoping that there’s a translator on hand. Here’s the schedule, translated by Google Translate. Of particular note is the last item on the agenda…
I guess I’ll see you all on the flip side.
Continue rocking on. Over and out.
DUDES!
I’m so tired, so I’m only going to post a few pics from the evening. The evening which was awesome!
Firstly, here’s how the evening started…
And then, this happened, and it was awesome…
Beet Cupcakes (They were AWESOME!)
Chillin' Behind the ol CV!
Playing Games!
We will do a blog post every evening talking about our experiences at E3.
Continue rocking on. Over and out.
OK, seriously.
This is going to be BIG.
This is going to be big like buildings. More specifically, like the sides of buildings that the BIT.TRIP games will be projected onto during the GAME NIGHT - Pre-E3 Party at Giant Robot!
This event is open to the public, and is going to be a great opportunity for us to meet our fans, eat, drink, be merry, and most importantly of all, PLAY VIDEO GAMES THAT ARE BEING PROJECTED ONTO BUILDINGS!
We’ve collaborated with the amazing folks at Giant Robot, Attract Mode, and LA Game Space to kick off their first official Game Night. And what better night to host it than when all of our industry buds are in town for E3!
There will be games to play, industry folks to meet, and a BIT.TRIP themed menu at the GR2 restaurant, featuring BIT.TRIP BEETS. I’m not kidding.
Anyone who’s anyone will be there. And so will you.
Let’s play!
Continue rocking on. Over and out.
Hey party people!
So, Chris, Jason, and I are sitting here at Blip Fest 2009 and as promised, are completely dominating the game-in-a-day-challenge that we told you about earlier!
This morning, we sat down at a coffee shop and talked about the game for the first time. We wanted to make something that screamed “BIT.TRIP” and we wanted to make something that also screamed “Robotube”. After considering what we could accomplish in a day, we decided to create the tasty tasty lovechild of BIT.TRIP BEAT and Bloktonik.
Here are some quick-n-dirty sneaky peeks at what we’ve done so far…
Alex doin' art.
And some of this stuff…
Chris' code
Jason Flashness.
We’re having a good time so far, and are making great progress! It’s 4:10, though, so we better be playin’ this thing soon!
Glomag swung by and did a gigantic sound dump, so we’ll be integrating his chipmusic joy soon. After which, we’ll do another update!
How rockin' are we? Very.
Wish us luck as we finish up the game and work into the night!
Continue rocking on. Over and out.
Hey lovers and fighters!
Tomorrow, Chris and I take to the skies and embark on our Easterly migration to Blip Festival 2009 for the BATTLE OF THE BRANDS!
If anyone reading this is going to be there, definitely swing by and chat with us! We’ll be available for interviews, hangin’ out, and goofing off all three days of the show. I want to get as much coverage of Blip Festival as possible, seeing as how all this awesome music is essentially made from video games!
And as we all know, sometimes a really good video game is just awesome.
Speaking of the music, we’ve gotten confirmation that one of the show’s headliners is going to be supporting our game-making efforts with a soundtrack, sound effects, and the like.
Welcome Glomag into the Gaijin Games fold by checking out his jammy at his website!
Hopefully, we’ll see you there. Continue to watch our Tweets, Facebookagawea, and blog for hilarity as it ensues, in real-time.
Continue rocking on. Over and out.
So, I made it back from the Nintendo of Europe Media Summit no worse for wear–except for a completely dorked-up sense of time and space. I definitely feel freaky. Here are some pics from the show, where BIT.TRIP VOID was named “game of the show” by at least one European journalist.
This is the dedicated BIT.TRIP VOID kiosk that I called my home for about 10 hours of demos yesterday. The dude on the right (I apologize, I forgot your name! Shoot me an email!) kicked out a killer performance of double-play (one person controlling 2 characters at once) with VOID. He managed to make it to the second checkpoint in the first level before challenging me to beat his double-play score. I rose to the challenge. But then fell short. He beat me out by about 10,000 points. Good times.
There was a ton of press at the event–all of them super nice and fun. Holy crap, I did two video interviews in German. I can’t wait to see how much I dominated them once they go live. Also, industry pals and cohorts from Team Meat and Nicalis threw some very last-minute final touches into Super Meat Boy. Talk about agile development. This was ninjatacular.
After the event, I went to a swanky din-din with a bunch of developers and folks from Nintendo, which was a lot of fun. But to get there, we had to ride in the elevator with no buttons. Afterward, I came back to My Hotel and tripped on the invisible step in the middle of the room.
All in all, it was a great event and I had a lot of fun showing off our game to a ton of press that as an American I don’t usually have access to.
Thanks to all the press that came and to Nintendo for hosting this event. I’d love to do it again in the future! Only next time, I need to stay in London longer. There’s a crazy ferris wheel that makes you want to puke just looking at it. I’ve got to ride that thing.
Continue rocking on. Over and out.
Sunday night was a special one, as I was at the Anamanaguchi show over at the fabled DNA Lounge in San Francisco. Of course it’s no secret that all of us at Gaijin are chiptune fans, but for me personally, Anamanaguchi was the catalyst that took my passing interest in the genre to full-on obsession.
4 Guys and a Machine
My fiancée often describes them as New Found Glory with a NES as the frontman, and I tend to agree. Surging, positive pop-punk with razor-sharp composition and melody. And really, what other band can seriously rock out a chiptune mosh-pit? Srsly. Big ups to whoever helped find my glasses after they were blasted off my head in the pit.
Along with finally meeting the band (all super nice dudes), I got to chill with Tiff Chow, Brandon Boyer, and Steph Thirion (of the excellent iPhone game Eliss fame). Yay for the Twitterz 
Thanks to 8bitSF for setting it up, and Anamanguchi (along with Mr. Spastic, A_Rival, and crashfaster) for knocking it down!
