After August 28th, Pow Pow's Great Adventure will no longer be sold. It's going to be getting a much needed overhaul. The revamped version is code named, "Pow Pow's Remix". Unfortunately as I've mentioned before, the game is on hold indefinitely since we just don't have time to get to it this year. Between Mini-Golf Deluxe, CityScape Battle, and Socio City, we probably won't get to Pow Pow's Remix until sometime late next year.
So if you've been interested in Pow Pow's Great Adventure, now is the time to buy it because otherwise you will not be able to buy a Pow Pow platformer for possibly two years. Also, after August 28th the Collector's Edition will never be sold again. Here again is what the Collector's Edition includes:
Contents of Collector's Package
- Game on CD
- DVD case with cover art
- 8.5 x 5.5 inch full color manual
- Superior Voice and Sound quality
- Highest quality Textures
- Wallpaper
- Behind the Scenes
- Developer Bio's
- Preview of upcoming Soundtrack
- Exclusive early Concept Demo
Free Gamepad Included!
Again, the collector's edition will no longer be available after August 28th. For more information on the game, go here. To purchase the game, go here:

Did I say within a week? I meant a couple of months... Anyway the development diaries are finally up. You can choose a development diary from the Upcoming Games section.
There are currently three development diaries. They cover the development of CityScape Battle, Socio City, and Pow Pow's Mini-Golf Deluxe. Unfortunately, Pow Pow's Remix has been put on hold indefinitely. I just won't have time to get to it this year.
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the development diaries and please feel free to leave your comments and thoughts!

The mailbag was updated today. Also I want to officially announce that we're working on Pow Pow's Mini-Golf Deluxe! It's basically a full-featured version of the current web game that's up. There will be additional courses as well as a couple of new modes. If you enjoy the web game, you'll definitely love the upcoming Deluxe version. It should be done in a couple of months (sorry, no exact dates at this point).
Finally, I'm going to be adding blog development diaries of our upcoming games within a week or so. So for example, if you're interested in Socio City you'll be able to follow its progress and add your own comments and suggestions. There currently will be development diaries of the following games:
Socio City
Pow Pow's Mini-Golf Deluxe
Pow Pow's Remix (Working Title)
I'm also working/prototyping an action multiplayer web game. If things keep going smoothly, I'll add a development diary for it as well.

Sorry for the lack of Mailbag updates but we just completed moving our site to a new server. It took awhile, but hopefully everything should be running smoothly now. Though if you run into any oddities, let me know.
I'll be posting an updated mailbag this weekend as well as making a few announcements about our upcoming games. Stay tuned.

The weekend is finally here and we hope you have a great New Year's Day! Next week we plan to add several new articles plus update the Mailbag. After you've sobered up from the weekend make sure you swing by here and check out the new stuff.
Finally, we're running a special discount for all our games this weekend. If you haven't bought our games yet and you've been thinking about it, now's the time to do it. Well... that is if you want a steep discount. I'm perfectly fine if you buy it next week when it's back at its regular price. :)

Our new site redesign is complete! We hope you like the new look. With the new site redesign, we pledge to actually have frequent updates! For the most of 2005, you could literally see the tumble-weed roll across our website pages. Part of the reason was because I was burnt out from working on a 12 month project that was Pow Pow's Great Adventure. I was also busy working on upcoming games (Pow Pow's Mini-Golf and Socio City). Then the final reason of course is that I was lazy.
But today is a new day! With this new redesign I've included some features that will be updated regularly, which I hope you guys enjoy. Among a few, there's a Fan Art section where you can submit drawings of our characters and possibly receive prizes. There's also a mailbag section where I answer your questions and comment on whatever ends up in my Inbox. Plus, I'll be posting some developer related articles for those interested in making or learning about Independent games.
Hope you visit us often!

Well we just launched our website! Unfortunately, our first title is still under wraps, so there isn't a lot of info on the site about the game yet. However, within a month several screen shots should be posted with some character information.
If that's still not good enough for you, then you can sign-up for our newsletter and forum and get the opportunity to actually play the game via the beta test. The beta test will be occurring all through May and June.
In the meantime, please feel free to participate in our forum and discuss various topics.
