Mo' Promo

I've been working on more promotional fliers to hang around Pittsburgh for Drinkards. These are what I came up with, feedback appreciated!

Drinkards Released to Xbox LIVE Marketplace!

Yes you read it right - Drinkards has been released! Everyone go out and download the game or the free trial!

The box art, as appears on your Xbox 360:

And here are some promo fliers to help get you pumped (feel free to print and distribute):

Drinkards back in Peer Review

Drinkards is back in Review! With the last minor glitches and technicalities taken care of, I took the week to polish the presentation a bit more. Look for a better tutorial menu, and some hard-to-find gameplay tweaks. I feel like this might be the one that gets released (finally!!).

In other news, the first Drinkards trailer has been released to youtube!

There was once a trailer here, but since it is now at the top of the blog's main page I decided to remove this copy. Enjoy!

Card Competition #1

So here's the scoop - Drinkards' 100+ cards are fun, right? But I know what you're thinking - "I have the best idea for a card!!!"

Well now you can share that idea with the world, and possibly see it end up in Drinkards. Anyone who puts their card idea in a comment to this post will be eligible. At the end of some undetermined period, the best ideas (judged by the other commenters and myself) will be placed into the Drinkards Kards Poll, and the top few will be added to the next Drinkards update.

Get the creative juices flowing (by creative juices, I mean beer) and make sure to post your best ideas!

Welcome!

This is the Drinkards blog. Drinkards is a drinking game soon-to-be released on Xbox LIVE Indie Games (XBLIG) this October.

The goal of Drinkards is to drink! Each player draws a card on their turn. The cards will give short instructions for which player has to drink. Some are based on properties like clothing, while others pit player against player in fun real-world challenges.

Score is tracked by taking a "Sobriety Test" after your turn, where you simply must guide two fingers into the target in the middle of the screen. The faster you do this the less your BAC rises, and at the end of the game low score wins!

There are over 100 cards in Drinkards, and game length can be adjusted to suit your drinking needs. Again, this game is coming soon, so start getting the beer frosty!
