We think the first WP7 phones will be out in October already, so it won’t be long until you can carry our lovely pirate Blockbeard with you!

As said, last week four of us, traveled to Cologne (Germany) to visit Gamescom. We hadn’t even got off the train when Microsoft announced the first games on their new Windows Phone 7 platform. Rocket Riot is going to be one of them! They even demoed the game on their booth together with a bunch of other games. We think the game is getting pretty awesome. It is just as explosive as the Xbox version, so these new Windows phones are pretty powerful! Here’s some more information for you to digest about the announcement:

Codeglue will be attending Gamescom in Cologne from August 18-20th.

Last year’s Gamescom was great and became the largest games trade fair in the world so naturally we are attending again! You can find us in Hall 4.2, Stand E031a, as part of the Holland Pavilion. Maybe we will even have something new and cool to show you. Maybe we just can’t talk about it yet… Maybe we shouldn’t be so secretive and stop teasing you…

To book meetings with any of us, please contact Peter de Jong who will coordinate all meetings: peter@codeglue.com

Hey guys,

Guess what…

We won a Dutch Game Award for Rocket Riot in the Best Visual Design category! Wow! We are very, VERY proud of that!

Now, I can hear some of you thinking “Pah, who cares about the Dutch Game Awards! What games have the Dutch ever made?!” Well, let me edumacate you kids a bit: Killzone 2, Overlord 2 and Swords & Soldiers were some of the Dutch games competing for the awards this year!

And we beat the multi-million dollar production Killzone 2 and the awesome looking Swords & Soldiers for Best Visual Design! Now, that should mean something to you!

Once again, we are very proud of this. So thanks to anyone who supported us and bought, played and enjoyed the game. You guys are awesome!

Here are some pictures of the awards ceremony:

Well, sort of…it’s 10 million Zimbabwe dollars, but still, it makes you a millionaire!
