We recently had the honor of working with the girls of Mathews-Dickey on creating a game for their 27th Annual "Sheer Elegance" Fashion Show. The theme for this year's show was video games, so we were asked to help make a game to be played during the runway show.
Below is a video put together to highlight the "making of the game" and you can learn more about the event at on the Mathews-Dickey website. Thanks to organizer Bill Fronczak, the girls and the entire Mathews-Dickey team for including us in this great event.

We hope you are all gearing up for a fun Halloween weekend. To celebrate we put together a pumpkin inspired game built from Bloxels to share with you. We call it "Pumpkin Breaker"!
This game was created with a feature we haven't talked too much about yet called Codeboard. With the Codeboard feature you can start with the same creative content you build with Bloxels, but create completely custom game types by adding a layer of advanced scripting (a.k.a. code) to your game environment.
Learn more about how this works over on our Advanced Activities page.

What a show off...
Much of the Bloxels experience was inspired by a series of prototypes we put together during our Kickstarter campaign. This video was released during the campaign in June 2015.
