The incredible Chainsaw has arrived!

Friday, October 17th, 2008 by Johan H, CEO

A few months ago Pierce Kinally submitted a chainsaw drawing to our competition ‘Design-a-sword’. A lot of cool art pieces in various forms really made us go WOW, but Pierce’s chainsaw really made our AD lick his lips “smack smack” more than once. Here’s Pierce’s original chainsaw drawing and our bearded art guys concept art and final model: Pretty awesome, huh? At first, Oscar (art guy) put the trademark of a well-known Swedish chainsaw manufacturer on the chainsaw, but somehow we decided to leave that be… for now.

Well, as nothing in particular has happened since my last post, this is it for now. Please feel free to comment Pierce’s drawing as well as our art guys Oscar, Tobbe, Nicke and Lars work. Now, we’ll do some more work then head for pizza and pleasant amounts of beer. Last thing, I’ve reach 8th prestige in COD4!!!

Have a nice week end ya’all.

Design-A-Sword contest extended one week!

Thursday, September 4th, 2008 by Johan H, CEO

We have decided to keep our Design-A-Sword contest open for one more week, with the new deadline set for September 12. The reasoning behind this decision is, quite frankly, that we have mentioned the contest in interviews that are yet to be published. The reveal date for the winning entry is still set for September 15 at the latest. We apologize for the confusion.

Contest: Get your own sword design in Colosseum

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008 by Johan H, CEO

As a part of our ongoing Making Videogames-operation that we run here at Shortfuse we have decided to hold a contest where the winning entry gets his or her own sword design realised in Colosseum. All you have to do is send in a concept design for a sword, we will consider all entries equally, no matter how silly or authentic they might be. They could even be just plain text descriptions, but you’ll have to write them in a jpeg-image. Go to contest page: http://www.colosseum-game.com/contest.php.
