Second Opinion: Divekick

Mike talked about quite a few changes or, more accurately, updates to the operation of Zero Tolerance.  Tonight, I plan to exemplify a couple of those.  Obviously, this will be the first "Second Opinion" piece done here.  Additionally, I'll be breaking Divekick down and commenting on some very particular areas, and giving it an overall letter grade at the end.  Let's begin.

WINNERS - Latency's Steam Giveaway

Time's up!

The Facebook contest is over and all in all, I've learned some things.  But that's not important.  What's important is who won what.

I got fewer entries than I thought I would have, so prizing is going to change a bit.

FIRST - Everyone is getting something!  Hooray!  Games for everybody!

SECOND - With the notable exception of Bastion (because I feel that I should hand out as many copies of that game as possible), there will be only one copy of each other game awarded.  That means,

THIRD - A couple people are going to double up.  Consider yourselves the "grand prize winners". =)

And our winners are:

GodsendIV - Bastion
CupcakeTroll - Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams
DantelSBeltran - Bastion
MARIANOXDDX - Bastion
Comet - Bastion
OniGouki - Bastion
tehKaida - Bastion, Amnesia: The Dark Descent
fullmetal779 - Bastion, Hotline Miami
drizztfish - Mark of the Ninja
Namelock - Bastion

Friend requests have been sent out to those not previously on my list, so that I can send you your prize.  Afterwards, feel free to delete, remove, block me, etc.

Thanks to everyone for participating!

Latency's Steam Giveaway!

Steam Giveaway is now LIVE folks!  Here's the rundown:

The How:
I've uploaded a contest image to our Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/ZeroToleranceGames
- Like our page
- Share the image
- Comment on the image with your Steam ID (So I know who to send the prizes to)

Once all that's done, all you gotta do is wait. Monday night I'll be announcing winners here on the blog.

The What:
I've got 14 gifts that I'll be giving out over steam. All of them are titles from my Indie-pendence day special.

They are:
- 8 copies of Bastion
- 3 copies of Mark of the Ninja
- 1 copy each of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Hotline Miami and Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams

The When:
12:00 Midnight Friday Night/Saturday Morning Pacific time is when the pic will go up on Facebook. You've got until 6:00 PM Pacific before I close it down. And sometime between 9:00 and 10:00 PM is when I'll have randomly selected the winners and posted them up on the blog.

The Who:
Anybody can enter! This is as much a chance for me to give back to the readers as it is for you guys to spread the word about Zero Tolerance Games! Share it with your friends! All of your friends!

The Why:
There were some screaming deals during the Steam Summer Getaway Sale and I just felt like I had to spread some indie love. What better way than to give games away to complete strangers?!


Have a great weekend and best of luck!

Fan Appreciation Time!

As I'm sure you're all aware, the Steam Summer Sale wrapped up last week.  As some of you are aware, thanks to Bastion hitting an all-time low of $2.25 per copy, I ended up with an extra 10 gift copies.


What do I plan on doing with these gift copies?  The same thing I plan on doing with my extra gift copies of Mark of the Ninja, Hotline Miami, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, and Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

These are for you guys.  Appreciation for the readership and a publicity stunt of sorts.  I'm currently working on a Facebook contest that I plan to have up by Friday.

For the contest and more details, check us out on Facebook:

I'm sorry this isn't a real post, but as @Tsaikotyk stated, there's been very little going on in the industry as of late, and he's pretty much brought us up to speed on it all.  Now I need to work on some graphics and figure out how I want to divvy out these Steam gifts.

The Good, The Bad, and The Incredibly Stupid - July 2013

We've been fucking it up here a bit as of late, with our personal lives and such getting in the way a bit, so this will be a bit of a catch-all potluck of miscellaneous stories.
