A new milestone :)

After going over the figures today, we discovered that in the last week or so we have hit 10 million plays worldwide from Bunny Invasion 2 and Bunny Invasion: Easter.

It's a great milestone, and one we certainly never anticipated back in February when we released Bunny Invasion 2.

Thanks to everyone who has played and enjoyed our games, and those who come back to this blog and or the forums.

It should be an exciting 6 months taking us up to the end of this year.
The website is scheduled for an early September release, and hopefully you'll see a couple new games released from us before the year is out.

Thanks!

Website Update

Earlier this week we worked together with the developers working on the site and worked out the designs and graphics and exactly how the site is going to look. It's coming together really nice and should look great.

At the moment I'm estimating we're looking at a release in late August, but possibly early September.

It's a little later than we first thought, but it is coming :)


Apologies for our updates becoming more infrequent, but we'll try to pick it up and increase the info on what's going on with new games as well as the site.

Ta-daah!

One year ago I had nothing to my name, this year I am 'Recognized by Newgrounds.com inc. for outstanding contributions to the community'. It might not be as good as a cash prize, but finally I've got something solid to hang in my room to prove my brilliance!

And if you want to know what I look like, look to the bottom left.
That's my thumb.

Enjoy.

Website News!

Good good news!!!
After trying many hours learning about how to create websites, how to write in PHP and HTML, it became increasingly apparent that that what we were going into is a big fat juicy job.
So, my brother convinced me that we should pay someone else to do it.
This turns out to be a great idea, and allowing us to go even further with our ideas.
We are hoping to turn GPStudios.com into a great flash game arcade.
It's going to stand out from the rest. We're only going to feature the absolute best games we can find, not like most flash game arcades that put up any old shit and upload 50 games a week.
It's pointless in my eyes, when I see a website like that I just click right off. A good games arcade is one with good games, and for some reason there don't seem to be any out there.
The website layout is being deisgned at the moment, I've almost finished the first draft for all the pages.
Here's a snippet of the front page:
Leave comments on what you think.
The website layout at the moment is admittedly a frankenstein made of all our favourite flash game websites (Kongregate, Newgrounds, Armorgames, Bubblebox and a bit of Addictinggames)

Other features of this website at the moment are:
Game reviews - where one of us (me or my brothers) write a lengthy review on the most recent games.
Blog - This blogspot tool will not be needed anymore unfortunately, but we'll have a new blog in http://www.gpstudios.com/.
Forum, Random Games, Top 50 games, and all the other usual stuff.

The Tower defense game is going well too.
Plot hasn't been decided yet, but there are some ideas floating around right now about the Holy Grail.
The Tower Defense game is also going to stand out from the rest hopefully.
It's a melding of 2 genres, tower defense and Age Of Empires strategy.
On the map there will be resources, and you'll need to build tiny roads (seperate to the road the monsters come) to get to them, and you'll send villagers to these places to gather food, wood, gold or stone.
You'll also be able to build alot of buildings. Towers will be empty at first when you build them, but then you can send archers, bombers, or sorcerors to attack from them.

Great idea, huh?
One last thing, leave some comments, they're nice to read :)

And if you haven't signed up to the forum yet, please do!

God! Todays a nice day here in the South West of England, first proper summer day in... Well about 10 months :P

Bye!

GP Studios Forum Beta!

A Forum has been set up for GP Studios!
Click the forum link at the top of the blog or click http://www.gpstudios.com/forum
Register, become a member and chat with others, do what ever you want!

The forum has just today been set up, so it is currently in it's beta stage.
In the future expect it to change shape and transform into a glorious and unique looking thing!
But for now it's all average looking and serves very little purpose :)
Anyway, sign up and get talking.

Also, here's a screenshot of what the tower defense game looks like so far:
Pretty rough! Don't worry though, just like the forum this'll develop into something beautiful!
Enjoy!
