Thank You For Galatune-ing In!

Hey everyone! As some of you may know, for a little while now, we’ve been working on the official companion app for the Galatune card game. Well, what you may NOT know, is that it’s finally out, just in time for the Kickstarter for Galatune’s new expansion: Duality! So, what’s Galatune? Why are we working on this? What’s it been like to do so? Find out next time on Drago… now, find out now. Like, down below. Go on… I guess you could say that it all started back in March 2017

The One About PAX East

Sorry about the late blog on this one. We’ve decided to expand the blog to be more than just me. We’re slowly starting to add Lance, Steve, and Camille (with some guest bloggers planned as well) and we’re trying to start cranking them out weekly again. Well, somewhere we got our wires crossed and we not only didn’t start getting them out weekly as soon as we would have liked, but we accidentally skipped last month altogether! Oh no! Anyway, this post today is all about our bi

A Dimension of Site and of Sound: The New Website and Podcast

You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension – a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You’ve just crossed over into…. the Wraith Games blog. Sorry, had to do it. Hello everyone! This is going to be a fairly quick blog post. We’re currently neck deep in crunch mode for Collapsus. Yup, that’s right. Just a couple weeks and it will all be don

Ohio Gozaimasu! (Wraith’s trip to Ohayocon)

First blog of 2018 and it’s covering the first event of the year, too! We’ve just come back from Ohayocon! This was the first year of their Indie Game Showcase and all-in-all it was a HUGE success… so let’s talk about it for a bit, shall we? Believe it or not, Ohayocon was actually the first convention I ever went to back in 2007 (a couple year’s after Wraith’s founding). I mostly remember that trip being a bunch of people and then it was over (but also that I had a pretty gr

Events, Events, Events, Events (Oh, Yeah… and Events)

Man! October had a LOT of events for us! September 30th-October 1st gave us GDEX, October 14th saw Ohio Gaming Brigade’s Pop-Up Con #2, the 21st-22nd gave us BOTH Kabo, and LexPlay, with the month ending for us on the 27th with the West Virginia Game Developers Expo! That’s not counting all the news that happened BETWEEN those events! Let’s get going else we’ll be here all day… https://jaycd291f974096.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/ad819-img.jpg had to split up the team just to

Indy PopCon and Indie Studios (Or How Wraith Spent Its Summer Vacation)

Hey all! July has been really busy for us. The biggest things about July have been Indy PopCon and the plans for our new studio expansion! That’s one of the reasons we hadn’t pushed this out sooner. Like with the last few posts, we’ve got a LOT to get through, so that’s it for introductions. ). Unlike last year however, Eric and Mark stayed home and Natalie and I joined Adam for this one. This year’s event was bigger and better than last as well! We set up on Friday at 10am (

Steam, Events, and Newspapers… OH MY!

Hi everyone! Currently we’ve been out looking at properties, working on the Collapsus weekly builds, putting the finishing touched on a game jam game that went a smidge over time called MOTION.rest (it’s now hopped to this years Kentucky Fried Pixels jam), and putting more work into CaveWorm, Radarkanoid3000, and Burst Lancer. There’s really not too too much to talk about on those fronts, though. There is something very topical we wanted to touch on this week, however: the de

Collapsus – So, How’s it Going?

Hey everybody! Sorry it’s been so long since the last blog post. I’d written a draft for one last week, but decided to scrap it. On to pf that, we were going to have some guest writers come if for the blog a few times before that, but we had some scheduling problems. So. Yeah. This post today will be all about the progress of the Collapsus weekly builds so far! Let’s jam! <img src="https://jaycd291f974096.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/f8beb-img.png) There have been numerous big

One Heckava Vector

Two weeks ago (the 21st) marked our second year going to EKU Gaming Institute’s Vector Conference. Unlike last year (read about that here: http://blog.wraithgames.com/2016/05/a-day-at-vector.html) where it was me and Steve making the trip to Richmond, KY, I was joined instead by Natalie and Adam (they seem to be kinda my go-to team for events, it seems). While we only got to go down for Friday (it was a two day event), we certainly had a great time! Vector is a little differe

What’s up? Well… Not the Average Number, I Can Tell You That! – An Editorial

I’m not certain how else to open up this discussion than simply asking the question that inspired it: Am I the only one getting tired of the score seven out of ten being the new “average” score? I mean, if I’m honest I’m completely disenchanted with the idea of giving numerical scores to media to begin with… and Metacritic is the biggest reason for that. But, that is a WHOLE other discussion that may or may not be brought up at a later date. Seriously though… how a sev

Out of One Pub and Into Another – UDCon and Municipal Brew Works!

Hey everyone! Sorry blog posts have been fewer and farther between. We’ve been working on getting Collapsus finished (and Greenlit) as well as working actively on Cave Worm, Burst Lancer, and Radarkanoid 3000. Couple that with the last couple events we did (and are planning on diving right back into more) and you can see why we have our hands full! Well, speaking of those events, today’s blog post is all about the events we just came from: The Ohio Gaming Brigade’s Dayton Des

Friends Near and Far – A Visit From The Game Over Game On Podcast

Hey everyone! Last week we were visited by our friends from over at the Game Over Game On Podcast. Let’s talk about that! http://gameovergameon.podbean.com/e/lexplay-2016-with-jay-kidd-of-wraith-games) Well, we met some of them, anyway. This time, we got to see Grant again and Jake and Paige (Elvish Gaming on YouTube) while Aaron and Justin stayed back in Kentucky. Unfortunately, while they did get to see me, Natalie, Kristy, Lance, and Steve; Thorne, Cody, Eric, Camille, Ada

Lost Interview: Nintendo Love Affair – Meet Wraith Games

Much like with our post last year where we re-uploaded a lost interview we had with the blog “GamerProblems” (available here: blog.wraithgames.com//2016/08/the-lost-interview.html), sometimes blogs go down and their content goes with it. The awesome people over at Nintendo Love Affair interviewed me last year about what we were working on and a bit of our history, but unfortunately, their blog is now just that… history. Luckily, they’ve allowed us to re-post that interview he

All the News That’s Fit to Air

Hey, all! Man, it’s been a busy last couple of weeks! Sorry for not posting as regularly as I would like as of late. It’s been a while, so without further ado… and here: /blog.wraithgames.com//2016/12/the-pressing-issue-of-press.html ). It’s always really great to be getting some more eyes on the studio and our projects. Heck, being featured in the JournalNews was huge for us. We thought it may be the biggest press we’d be getting for a while. Boy, were we wrong! <img src="ht

Puzzling Modes – A Talk About the Puzzle Mode in Collapsus

Hey, all! Sorry about not getting this piece out sooner. Everyone over here at the studio is sick as a dog (well, almost everyone… thank goodness for Skype commuting). So, in this article, since we’ve talked at length about some of our Special modes (here: Slidedb.com) and Accessibility options (here: Slidedb.com) we figured it was finally time to have an in-depth look at one of our oft-neglected modes: Puzzle mode! Every great puzzle game can benefit from a dedicated Puzzle

Thanks for the VOTE of Confidence! (Collapsus in the Top 50)

Now that we’re in the Top 50, we actually very much need all of you to go vote again for us. WHAT?! WHY!? Well, for some strange reason the votes that get you to the Top 50 and the votes that actually win the award are separate. Heck, I feel bad even asking for it since everyone was so awesome about going out and voting the first time. Unfortunately, though, if we’re going to win I have to ask you guys to vote and share. Luckily, this is the last one… for thi year… well, fo

Features, Features, Features!

Hey all! In today’s post I wanted to talk about all sorts of features in Collapsus. I know we did a feature post a while back (and a lot of you already know what Collapsus is all about), so today I’m going to focus on either features that we haven’t really talked about on here before, or, if we have, not in a large amount of detail. It’s go time! So, let’s talk about the BIG feature first. When you hear about Collapsus (and you only really know it from being on here in the DB

The PRESSING Issue of the Press

Hey all! Back in April, we made a post all about the awesome opportunities we’ve had to be featured by various press outlets (a link to that post here: blog.wraithgames.com//2016/04/if-were-being-pressed.html). Since then we’ve had TONS more press and we’d like to share them with you.

The Pandoracon Opens

Hey all! Wow, this has been a huge year for events! We’ve got 13 under our belt after wrapping up Pandoracon, and boy, we put way more effort into Pandoracon than the others. Now, that’s not to say that the others weren’t work, of course they were, but we really put in the extra mile on this one… This game room (dubbed the “Wraith Games Retro Game Cave”) featured NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, Xbox, and Xbox 360 games (sorry Genesis fans, we couldn
