FerroDynamics



A physics puzzle game that's sort of a spiritual sequal to our earlier TransPlan, FerroDynamics challenges the player to design their own mechanical environment!  Starting with a clean, minimalist UI for planning your machine, FerroDynamics builds a beautifully rendered 3D model in the background and shows you the results when you push the play button!

We've been working on this on and off for a while, and after finally settling on a name have created a Greenlight listing!  We'd love to get your vote, so we can take the last few steps to shipping a finished product.

FerroDynamics is currently very playable, with a couple of dozen levels designed and plenty of components with different shapes and affects.  In addition to gates, ramps, tracks, and other static elements, we also have switches and buttons, which can be wired to turn on and off features like electromagnets, lasers, and more.  All of this is represented in the resultant 3D view!

We've had good reactions to our earlier titles, and look forward to maintaining those high standards here.  Please give us a thumbs up over at our Greenlight listing!

Anode coming to XBox One

We've been keeping busy despite the silence on our web page here, and one of the upcoming results is Anode appearing on the XBox One!  It goes on sale August 10th for the same price as Steam: $3.99.

I've been busy the last few days getting preview keys sent out to folks and the early response has been very good.  I'm hopeful that the game does well on console, where the couch multiplayer should find an easier home than Steam.

By far the biggest wrinkle in bringing the game over was dealing with controller-specific profiles, which cause a surprising amount of trouble and were never an issue on the previous platforms.  It has its benefits though, as achievements like Anomaly mean a little more when each controller has its own account.  All the achievements and leaderboards made the transition, and the game looks better than ever.  We hope XBox One owners enjoy it.
