His name is Frank
We have been working on Caromble! for over 7 years already. 7 years of building our brick breaker dream with a great team of 5. Still... something felt not quite right. Something was still missing. But now we found it! We were missing a Frank! We are proud to let you know that we found one. Not just an ordinary Frank, but Frank Meijer! Frank has a history of game journalism and he will focus on spreading the word on Caromble!. He will not only focus on game press, journalists and social media, but he will also try and talk to you as much as possible, our players. He is going to help Caromble! to reach many new players and to find out how we can keep our current players satisfied. Please welcome Frank in the comments below. He will appreciate it :)
With Frank in our team, the rest will have more time to focus on coding, level design and the art of Caromble! and that will probably improve both the quality and the development time. Furthermore, with Frank we have an extra pair eyes to look at Caromble!. His eyes are not burdened with 7 years of Caromble!, which will probably give us fresh insights. So having Frank in the team is a very good thing for Caromble! on multiple levels.
Steam Awards
Now this news has sinked in, we would like to ask you a favor. As you might know, Steam has introduced the Steam Awards. Every steam user can nominate Caromble! in one of the pre-defined categories, or in a custom one. We would like to ask you (if you think Caromble! is worth it) to nominate Caromble! in the custom category: "I Thought This Genre Was Dead". You can type this in if you select the bottom checkbox. We think that Caromble! earns this award, because it shows that a brick breaker can be very exciting and much more than a breakout clone. We hope it shows that brick breakers aren't dead at all and that there is so much more to discover in its game mechanics. We appreciate your votes!
By the way, this is one of the level of Chapter 4 we are working on. Introducing the switches:
Thanks for reading and let's get ready to Caromble!.
