UPSAT: A History Chapter 1- What is UPSAT?

I figure it’s time to actually talk about our game. To not slam you in the face with a giant wall of text, I’ll divide this post into 3 parts: What is UPSAT, what have we done so far, and where are we now?

What is UPSAT?

You mean you don’t KNOW?!?! I’m hurt. It’s only the most amazing reflex game ever to be in development for the android mobile gaming platform! In one sentence: UPSAT is a game comprised of a multitude of small, stupidly easy, and fast-paced mini-games that are chosen at random where the pace increases based on performance. Easy right? read more

Why Hello There…

Whoa, hold on there Chris, let me introduce myself before you go rambling on about all the awesome things you’ve done and have yet to do!

I’ve been making games since I was a wee child, that is, since way back in middle school. My first game was really an app called ‘Love Calculator” for my TI-86 that would randomly select a boy or girl in our class to hook you up with. It was the bees-knees back then. I then moved on to produce a handful of other games, ranging from a simple RPG battle system to a turn-based jousting game. I spent many a studyhall meticulously making pixel art for the games pixel by pixel on my calculator… But enough about back then, let’s talk about now! read more

Day 35… or 15… or 1?

I guess it all depends on what you’re referencing. If you’re talking about when we started this blog, then I guess today is day 1. If you want to know how long we’ve been working on the game, well then that would be 15 days. What really matters, though, is what happened 34 days ago. On that day, I sent out a little email to my friends:

“So… I think it’s time we make a game.”

Fed up with the monotony of sitting behind a desk and hacking away in Excel for 8 or more hours a day just to see that what I do means nothing in this overly bureaucratic company called the U.S. government, I knew it was time for something new. I didn’t even have to ask myself what that “something new” would be. read more

Welcome to the UPSAT Development Blog!

Welcome, new-comers! You have found the glorious site that will serve as your personal information Smorgasbord on the upcoming game, UPSAT!

Dive into the tumultuous process we call our ‘lives’ as independent game developers and see if we can swim to the surface to catch our breath long enough before we get sucked back down like tiny little minnows in one of those crazy vacuum toilets… read more
