XChan has been named a finalist for Digital Alberta's mediaFRESH awards under the category "Best Game"! Winners will be announced at the mediaFRESH 2010 awards ceremony on Friday, April 30, 2010 in Calgary, Alberta. View the website here: http://www.mediafreshawards.com/

 

 Here is our 2010 GDC Demo Video, this shows our new fighting engine utilizing the Unity3D platform.

 

We've made 4 new XChans! From left to right: Spitfire Chan, Scraps Chan, Sensei Chan, and Whacko Chan. Check em out in game at www.xchan.com

 

We have released a single player training mode in XChan! Battle through the A.I. enemies on Bambu Island and take on the overgrown Bambu Chan at the end.

 

Starting next week, Feb. 10th, we will be starting up double point Fight Night! It will be a weekly event throughout the beta where you can meet the Reckage Interactive team members online and engage in some XChan combat! It will take place every Wednesday at 7PM MST (starting next weds.) We will see you there!!

 

We had the XChan launch party to kick off the game's release onto the web, and we had alot of fun! There were some intense XChan battles, and some cool stuff handed out. Check out the slideshow for some pics from the event.

 

You can now play XChan online! It is still rough around the edges and we are continuously working on bugs and improvements, so if you come across any issues, feel free to submit them to the forum. We ask for patience throughout the testing phase as we begin to clean things up. The leaderboard is also going through testing, so please understand that your records may be erased at any time. We will however carry over XP earned over each fight, and reward testers upon the full release. Finally, stay tuned for "Fight Night", where we will announce a specific time you can do battle with the XChan team members throughout the beta testing!

With a switch to the Unity 3D engine we thought it would be a good idea to send Andrew and Garrett to the Unite 2009 conference in San Francisco. They've made it back in one piece and have lots of knowledge to share as we dive head first into Unity.

 

Ray and Evan just got back from GDC Austin with lots of cool things for show and tell. I'll admit... the rest of us are a bit jealous ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's an official welcoming for our two new and newest members at Reckage, Andrew and Max! Their gaming experience and education make them a valued asset to our team. Stay posted for an X Chan flash animation from Max.

 

We made it through our 4-day weekend Jam Session where we all got together to make a big push towards completing our playable demo for an Alpha-Release.

Should be released by May 4th - nice work team!

Thanks to Scott P of GrowthWorks for sponsoring is ... a special edition, one-off Golden Zabba-Chan is coming your way! 

 

 

We had our latest team member Mel V in the new office last week. Mel has some serious hardcore animation experience and is a welcome addition to the reckage crew!

 

We have settled into our new digs. Modest but with all the comforts. Woo-hoo!

 

Our basement company is growing up and we've finally moved to some office space.  We called our old space the Cat Cave since we shared it with 3 cats.  It was an ok space if you could stand the smell of the cats litter box, it also kept Evan at bay since he's highly allergic!

We say farewell to the cat cave and welcome our next chapter.  Here's some pics of the cave:
