Welcome to the Gravity Bear dev blog!
Ether here, posting temporarily to get some “filler” on our blog for when our website goes Live. Currently, our dev blog consists of lorem ipsum stuffs, which is gibberishly interesting, but not very informational for someone coming to read up on Gravity Bear. Going forward, our CEO/Creative Director, our Game Designer and other Gravity Bear folks will be the major contributors to this blog, but for now those folks are all plugging away on the game so the readers will have to deal with me! Muhahaha… !!
I suppose you’re wondering what Gravity Bear has been up to… ? Well, we’ve spent the last year at Gravity Bear trying to get a game out!
Hrmph. It just seems wrong to summarize the last year in one sentence: “…we’ve spent the last year at Gravity Bear trying to get a game out.”
The reality is that the last year has been a crazy/scary/exhilarating/exciting/nerve-wracking adventure. We’re hoping to get those experiences in our blog eventually, but since everyone here is super busy working on the game and since we can’t officially talk about the game yet, I’ll have to write about something else.
I guess this would be a good time to talk about our plans for the blog, and FB page, and forums, and <insert current hip social media thingy here>.
Our goal is to use or Developer Blog to talk about our experiences with game development here at Gravity Bear. We want to keep the tone of our blog Serious & Professional and our fearless leader, Phil Shenk, will likely be doing the majority of those posts.
We would like to have a “Meet the Crew” segment, which will highlight one member of the Gravity Bear family. Ideally we can get these out biweekly or monthly; more frequently than that would be silly, since our family is pretty small.
We’re also planning to post important info and updates for our game–new content we’re adding to our game, why we’re adding it and all that jazz. Our designer, Alan Hu, will be making most of those posts.
The Facebook page will be where we keep most of the “light-hearted fluff”, and I’ll be doing the majority of the updates there. ( I’m told that no one will take us seriously if I blog, so I need to keep my silliness on the Facebook Page and in the Tweets.)There we plan on having contests, posting pictures, and keeping everyone updated on all the random stuff that happens here at our crazy lil company.
Well, I should probably wrap up this “test post” for now since it’s getting long and I have oodles of work to do. If anyone has any ideas on features or info they would like to see on our Blog or Facebook Page or Forums, please Please PLEASE let us know. The blog, the site, the FB page—it’s all just a way for us to communicate with our fans and friends. If there’s something we can be doing better to keep you involved and engaged—we want to know!
