Vertigo is out on Xbox Live Indie Games


We have a wonderful Christmas gift for you guys! Vertigo was today released on Xbox Live Indie Games. The price is currently set to only 80MS points and the game is labeled as a platform game.

You can find the game HERE.

Its been a long journey but we are finally here. The project began at the middle of March 2008 and little did we know what an incredible adventure was waiting for us. Vertigo won Gotland Game Awards 2008 which lead to us wanting to continue develop the game for its designated platform, Xbox 360. So we took all the feedback and all the cheerful comments from that initial showcase of the game with us and started to develop Vertigo from a prototype made in Torque to a full game made with the XNA framework.
In 2009 we where nominated for "Best XNA 3.0 game" and "Game of the Year" at Swedish Game Awards and before that we where privileged enough to be nominated for the "Best new Nordic talent" award by Nordic Game 2009.
That gave us an even greater boost to complete the game and to "get it out there".

But the main and most important ingredient for us to have when in need of motivation to why this game had to be completed was the pure joy and enthusiasm that showed itself when we demoed the game for you.
Watching you play the game on all these different events that we have gone to from GGA, Gamescom, GDC, Nordic Game Conference and Gamex to tons of other events, including all the smiles, laughters, and lets face it, even cries during and after each race was an incredible thing to be part of and nothing less but amazing. Your smiles and feedback was put nowhere but in the absolute center of the design process and production throughout the whole project.
So with that said this is our game made for you, our Christmas present to you and your friends and we deeply hope you love it.

BUT, this adventure is long from over =D We are aware of a few bugs that slipped through "playtest and review" that we need to fix. I don't have an estimate on that update atm, but i'll keep you posted.

Update 1: Regarding crash reports and bugs we are going to have a fix for the game to be submitted as soon as we are allowed.
"You can submit an update to your game 7 days after the previous game review ended." - Really shitty, but that is how it is.

  1. Some regions are still stuck with "specialty shop" placement? Weird.

    In North America they changed it back, and it appears right after Games on Demand.
