Systems Update
posted by Devon on July 26, 2010, 08:55:28 AM
Our July game is complete, which marks us past the halfway point of Season 6 (the 2010 Season) with just four events left to go (August,  September, October, and the Season Finale in November). Playing Systems with friends and having a good time is nothing new for us, but I think being able to handle a near-record turnout (for the new format, anyway) in such a smooth, streamlined, and timely fashion is a sizable milestone for Systems Malfunction both as a professional venture and as a product/service available to a larger audience for their enjoyment. I hope I'm not jinxing myself by saying that! Systems regulars, check your e-mail in the next few days for scheduling info on the upcoming August game.

In other news, the Blade & Bullet sourcebook is in the final stages of post-production. Once art assets are secured, its final version will be available in PDF form for $20.00.

Also, September/October of 2010 represents the FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of Systems Malfunction, a pretty amazing accomplishment for which I have so many people to thank, I can barely take any credit. We will be doing something very celebratory to celebrate, maybe more than one something, so stay tuned.

*Long rant about being the eye of the drama storm.*

(I'm glad I got this out of my system, but it is less professional than I would like to appear. Also, let's bring the TA release notice a bit further up the page, shall we?)



TO ARMS! EPISODE 1: DECEIVE, DESPISE, AND MURDER MEN

As I'm sure most of you are aware already from the Twitter feed and Devon's post in Ghostlight Discussion, the Ghostlight team recently released To Arms! Episode 1: Deceive, Despise, and Murder Men. It is a tactical RPG made in RPG Maker VX, stemming from Devon's entry into the Action 52 contest over at RPGMaker.Net. The game page has been updated, and a download link has been both added to the page and cleverly hidden in THIS VERY BLOG POST.

In other news, the Starseed: Starpack is now actually available for download. My bad on that one. The game page has been updated accordingly.

In other other news, I finally dis-embedded The Speed Gamers. Their next marathon is in August, but they're also streaming Zelda games most evenings in July in order to try and get ACT Today an additional $250,000 on top of the $60k they raised during the Mario Marathon. Pop on over to their site for more details.

Small update because I am OCD as fuck about these kinds of things once I finally notice them:

I rearranged the forums a bit, because I realized the site discussion/news boards were under "Gaming". Now the Ghostlight and Systems Malfunction forums are under the Ghostlight Category, and I've created a new Gaming General Discussion forum to keep Game Design Theory company. In the new GGD forum you will find the three gaming-related topics that were previously in plain ol' General Discussion.
