MEGA

So, um, wow. I had hoped to get this out near the start of the month, but it looks like the whole world’s on fire right now! To get some of that out of the way (I know how some of you worry), we’ve actually closed up the studio for the foreseeable future (and cancelled all upcoming event appearances) so our peeps are all working from their respective homes right now. So we’re all safe, sound, and cozy. Anyway, in lighter news, late late last month (and the start of this one)

Two cons. Two weeks.

Hey, hey, hey everybody! 2020 is here! Man, we just finished January and I feel like it’s been a whole season already (and that’s not just because of this Ohio weather). We’ve done a lot in January, and it’s only going to get crazier from there. So without further ado, on with the rest of the post! Let’s start off with Magfest. This year we were put on a waiting list for attendees, so if anyone dropped, we’d get in. Magfest was right after New Year’s, and for some reason, som

The Year Was 20XX

Yeah, you read that right. After our epic three-part look at 2019 and seeing all those “decade in review” posts on social media and YouTube, I figured it was high time for us to do one of our own. It’s kinda funny, actually. We have the wonderful opportunity to have been older than just this decade, starting all the way back in 2005. I’m going to try not to dwell completely on every little bit; otherwise we’d be here all day (you saw what we did with 2019). But I do want to t

Artist’s Blocks 2: The Squeakquel

Hi again, everyone! Chris here, to give more insight into my artistic genius. As you know, I’ve been tasked with creating and recreating some of Collapsus’ art assets this past semester, and here I am to talk about some of the different methods that went into their creation. So many people liked my last article, that I’ve been given permission to do more! So without further ado, let’s jump into it! This one is all about… <insert drumroll here> The Burst Powerup!

Artist’s Blocks

Hi everyone! Chris Quay here, back after a semester of college and most of a semester of doing Wraith things. In this blog post, since Jay has already given a rundown of the events of this year thus far, I’d like to take this opportunity to give a bit of a look into what exactly I’VE been up to this past semester with Wraith. Be warned, this one might be a tad long! So, I’ve been lucky enough to be working with the rest of the team to design and iterate some of Collapsus’ cor

The Year Was 2019 (Part 2): There’s No Place Like Home

Oh boy! This is it! The big one! This is the blog post about The Hamilton Games Festival! What a ride! Many of you are probably wondering what that is. Consider this a bit of a postmortem. It’s a strange beast, and there are a lot of misconceptions floating around out there about it. Hopefully this helps. So, for starters, I do want to clear one big thing up before I start explaining the backstory and the day of. There are a lot of people out there who think this is a “Wraith

The Year Was 2019 (Part 1): From Coast to Coast

Hey everybody; Jay here! It has been WAY too long since we’ve done a blog post. The last couple were sporadic and, being honest, if it weren’t for Chris (one of our wonderful interns) we probably wouldn’t have even had the last two at all, either. The long and short of it is that we’ve been SUPER busy working on Collapsus and other things. That being said, we have something like half a year of blog content we never even covered, so here’s what we’re going to do. In the immort

In(tern) and Out

Hey everyone, Chris Quay here, Wraith’s newest intern! I’ve been hard at work this past month, coming to events with the team and tossing myself deep into the world of game development, and I’d love to talk about all my experiences so far as part of this amazing team. First up: Being my first convention EVER, this was definitely an odd choice. A massive venue, fellow game developers as far as the eye can see, vendors selling every bit of gaming and anime paraphernalia you cou

Collapsus Progress Report 2018!

Hey all! It’s been a while since our last post (about a year, if I remember correctly). We’ve started doing our blog posts over on our website, so you guy’s have missed a bit if you’ve not been following us over there or on social media. I wanted to give all you wonderful people an update on the project… and I’ve gotta say, it’s a BIG one! Try not to flip out! Let’s start with the release info. As many of you know, we were picked up by Ratalaika Games for world-wide publishin

Reporting for Duty – The Late 2018 Progress Report!

Hey everyone! November was kind of a weird one around here: we didn’t go to a single event! Weird, right? Well, it turns out we probably won’t be attending any events until January, actually. So in lieu of that, this month’s blog post is going to be a progress report on what we’ve been up to an what our plans are for the short term leading up to Collapsus’ release! So, let’s start with events! January is going to see us ab both Magfest’s indie game showcase (we were thankful

Just another Manic Con-Day

Happy Halloween! September and October have been such amazing months, packed full of so much for us that we just forgot to make a blog post for September (oops). October is always our big event season and we’re no strangers to travel; but this September/October brought us to Columbus, Dayton, Atlantic City – NJ, and Huntington – WV! While not planned, doing big ol’ “4 event blog posts” around this time of year has become commonplace for us, since we just don’t have the time t

A Match Made in Matsuricon!

Hey all! We came back from Matsuricon this past weekend and it was a blast! This post is probably going to be a bit short, but hopefully you like it! So, I spent 10 days in Germany this month (plus 2 days on a plane/in an airport), so I got to skip work for a good chunk of this month. This was also the month I started work as a part-time game design high school teacher on the side (don’t worry, I started officially when I came back). This meant it was up to Mark to work on b

Indy, Indy, Indy… POP

Hey everybody! It has been a crazy month around the studio. Collapsus marches ever forward (we’re almost done, we swear), the studio remodel is going smashingly, and we went to Indy PopCon for our third year in a row and it was out of this world! So, let’s talk about it. Indy Pop was amazing! Unfortunately, this time around it was just me, Adam, and Mark; but even though our event team was small, we certainly had a blast! Like previous years, Indy Pop was three days long, but

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

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

Wow! 2017 was a HUGE year for us! Even wist the rest of the world outside these studio walls not doing so well, in here everything’s coming up Milhouse! With this post, I wanted to take a trip back through the year and a brief look forward into next. It’s been an eventful year, so I hope you’re all comfy! ALL ABOARD!

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!

Up, Up, and AWAY! Collapsus to the Finish Line!

Hey all, we’re about to once again head up to Columbus for GDEX! Before we do, however, we wanted to talk about what’s going on with and in Collapsus! Let’s do this thang! <img src="https://jaycd291f974096.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/7d9c6-img.png with #21 on it's way for Monday (it's actually the build we're bringing to GDEX)!

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
