In other words, look at the address for this blog post&#8230;its not a number anymore, but in a much easier to link text format. The unfortunate side effect is that some of the blog plugins for photos and videos were broken, so I&#8217;m going back to older posts to fix them. If you see any non-working videos\/audio plugins on the blog, post away below!<br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\n-I&#8217;ve added the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/affiliates-of-awesome\/\">Affiliates page<\/a> to the top of the site as well as on the bottom right of the blog! If you&#8217;d like to be a part of the page, drop me an email and I&#8217;ll check out your site.<br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\n-I&#8217;ve entered Spirits of Metropolis and greenTech into the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.2beegames.com\/\">2BeeGames Indie Game Competiton<\/a>, and they received 80 entries (To compare, the GM Competition that greenTech won had nearly 200). I get the feeling that these eighty are extremely tough competition entries though, since the stakes are much higher ($10k grand prize!). They will be declaring the finalists in a few weeks, and then the internet will vote. Here&#8217;s hoping Spirits or greenTech makes it to the finals!<br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\n-There&#8217;s a new site out called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/\">KickStarter<\/a>, which is a way for indie devs of any form of art to raise money for their works. It&#8217;s a brilliant site, and is invitation only at the moment. I&#8217;ll be submitting Kablooey! into the Kickstart program, and if we get accepted I&#8217;ll post more info about it. If Kablooey! doesn&#8217;t make it, no big deal, but it would be awesome if it did eh?<br \/>\n<!--break--><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/images\/kablooeyalpha1.png\" rel=\"lightbox[ONR2]\" title=\"Comin along nicely.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/images\/kablooeyalpha1.png\" border=\"0\" vspace=\"15\" width=\"412\" height=\"309\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--break--><br \/>\n-For those wondering, yes, I was on Facebook for a few hours. The only reason why is to sign up for the Pixeljunk 1-4 Facebook Group, as they promised to show a new screen of the game for every 200 people that signed up with them. The game was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gametrailers.com\/player\/48622.html\">unveiled<\/a> a week ago, and I deleted my account. I really don&#8217;t like Facebook, I&#8217;m sorry. \ud83d\ude41 But maybe I&#8217;ll sign up again later in the future!<br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\n-Jonathan Geer just finished the music for Kablooey! We&#8217;re that much closer to a teaser trailer. I&#8217;ve started the long task of programming and outlying but the engine and graphics are nearly done. There will be tons more info after I release the trailer.<br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\n-Oh, I do have a Twitter account though. <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/chubigans\">Check it out<\/a> if you&#8217;re bored. :p<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s been a lot of little things going on with Vertigo Games, so let&#8217;s gather them all up into one blog post, shall we?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,12,23,9,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-game-maker","category-greentech","category-kablooey","category-randomness","category-spirits-of-metropolis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=195"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":199,"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195\/revisions\/199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
