ANNOUNCING: POSTAGE GAMES AND APPS ::

Today, we are proud to announce the first official Application to come from Postage Studio.  You may recall our 24 hour FUBAR Gaming Marathon in which we joined forces with AppMobi and got our proverbial feet wet.  Since then we’ve been VERY busy designing characters, painting UV maps and interfacing with programmers from Lancaster and in other areas of the United States to create our flagship game, Pinball Massacre.  Pinball Massacre is a first that any game-studio could take pride in.  It’s been a source of friendly compeition in our office and among beta testers.  We’ve had almost as much fun playing the game as we have creating it!

I remember my Marketing 202 professor saying to avoid bold statements.  Well I’m sorry Professor McCoy, but as a group, we firmly believe that Pinball Massacre is the best pinball game on the App market to date! (We’ve played them all… it was purely research!)  The physics are near-real and the gameplay is clean and fun.  The interaction of the board is where the real pizazz comes in.  The pinball game is a tie-in to the Stabb Gunner universe, a comic by Postage’s Joseph Krzemienski and Courtland Ellis.  In this dramatic side-story, Stabb is engaged in one of his favorite non-violent pastimes as he entertains an arena full of people with his customized mecha-pinball game. As a bonus the game is chocked full of the sounds, colors and designs of yester-year.  You get a soundtrack full of original chiptunes by famed 8-bit artist, FantomenK.  Furthermore, you get a classically thrilling video game intro featuring Stabb and Gunner and taking you into Scene City where the Pinball Massacre tournament is about to take place.  It’s being hosted by none other than the most elegant, Well Dressed Man.  At last, you get a fun, competitive and visually stimulating pinball game on the road, in the office or at home.  Special thanks to Nuclear Nova Software for co-developing this game with us! This game is available in the Apple App Store and ready for enjoyment on your Mac or iOS device!  In the near future we will be releasing inexpensive additional boards as in-app purchases. Each board will have custom missions and game-play and be themed to a Stabb Gunner character. More on that soon! :: GET PINBALL MASSACRE FOR YOUR MAC DESKTOP • GET IT FOR iOS (iPad/iPhone/iPod)::

PREVIEW

Barack Obama: Government in Action is something we’ve been working hard on for quite a while. We designed the play interface almost a year ago and remapped the characters, backgrounds, and objects while the programmers put the finishing touches on the gameplay. We’re generating a bit more code and working on some bug-tests and beta testing.  Barack Obama: Government in Action is a toungue-in-cheek, catch-phrase-rich and pun-filled game that’s great for either side of the enormous political fence. We’re happy to be working on Government in Action with fellow Lancastrian tech-powerhouse, AppMobi!

This soon to come side-scroller will be released for multi-mobile platforms (Android/iOS) and available this fall! Just in time for the presidential campaign to kick-in.

• What’s next for Postage Studio Games?

Well we haven’t stopped here… we’re already talking about the next several games and believe strongly that this will be a huge part of the future of Postage, Inc.  As always, can’t wait to share it with you!

• Where does this leave Postage Inc.’s award-winning CGI, Post-Production and Visual Effects?

We’re excited about using our CGI and VFX talents for something so future proof and so fun.  That’s the plan, that doesn’t mean that we are out of the business of making fantastic commercials or animating non-stop.  We’d like to think of this as the future of advertising as well as the future of gaming.  It is an extension of our commitment to making entertaining media.  Perhaps we could make a game for your company that would make your customer happy to explore your brand in a fun way.  Think about it!
