<\/p>\nSo here is a long overdue postmortem of Soul Brother’s release. \u00a0It’s been a great couple of weeks watching it spread slowly around the net, and I think overall the reaction’s been fairly positive on the whole.<\/p>\n
First of all, I’d like to announce the winner of the Rainbow Star Challenge, Brian Keong. \u00a0He completed it on the second day I believe. \u00a0The nice thing is I designed the online scoring system to show the Rainbow Star achievers quite easily – if you get over 2 million, you didn’t die and got all the gems in decent time.<\/p>\n
So far, 170,000 people have played it on [adult swim] and 13 of those people have got themselves some of this:<\/p>\n

Brian has requested a bird character, who I’ll post at a later date (I want to do a special card for it like the game ones.) \u00a0Congratulations to him and all the others who flew so high!<\/p>\n
I only really have time to share some of the reactions for this week’s blog – I want to do a proper postmortem at some stage, and show the tools I used to make it. \u00a0I did talk about them a little on this interview I did with quote-unquote<\/a>. \u00a0I really like that blog and wish more people would read it, so thanks to Steve Cook for that. They also have the maps for Soul Brother and other little trinkets on there.<\/p>\n Here are direct links to the maps: Soularis West<\/a>, Soularis East<\/a>. \u00a0See if you can spot where it’s changed!<\/p>\n \n Here are collected bits of press about it… I won FREE INDIE RAPID FIRE over at bytejacker<\/a>, which I was super happy about. I love those guys, and my wife digs Anthony’s t-shirt selections. Their review of the game<\/a> in the previous episode.<\/p>\n indiegamemag.com’s very generous review.<\/a><\/p>\n Joystiq review.<\/a><\/p>\n Jayisgames review.<\/a><\/p>\n indiegameschannel review.<\/a><\/p>\n ithamore’s lovely review on the TIGsource front page.<\/a><\/p>\n Good old indiegames.com<\/a>, who’ve supported my work a lot over the years, so thanks Tim & Mike!<\/p>\n Rock Paper M*********n’ Shotgun.<\/a><\/p>\n Dangercade’s new (to me) and cool.<\/a><\/p>\n Terry says ‘go play Soul Brother’.<\/a><\/p>\n And so does the wonderful Rob F.<\/a><\/p>\n You Big Nonce’s hilarious video review:
