It sure is nice to feel wanted 9/7/2011
So I was messing around on the dash today and came across a pleasant surprise.  Avatar Legends is featured in the most wanted spotlight for the month of August.  We certainly did have a great August and appreciate everyone who picks up the game so a big thank you for helping us get to where we are.

I was able to snap a few pics with the trusty Canon to share with everyone.

Here is a far away snapshot:


...and a close up.



Slay monsters and cast spells...truer words have never been spoken.

The Golden Dude...is Gold. 6/19/2011

VVGtv recently announced the winners of the Golden Dude awards and Barkers Crest Studio is honored to announce that Avatar Golf and Avatar Legends are both worthy of the Golden Dude.  Avatar Golf for best Xbox Indie sports game and Avatar Legends for best Xbox Indie rpg.  I don't have an acceptance speech prepared so I'll just go ahead and say thanks to my friends, family, and all of the fans that support us.  Without you all there is no Barkers Crest Studio.

Oh, and if you start designing make sure you start with a multiplayer map first.  There is a bit of a learning curve on the designer just like any other powerful tool.  Building a few multiplayer maps first will help you learn the tool before moving onto the more complex designer components in the single player mode. 

Make sure to watch the design help videos.  They will help out quite a bit.  We'll have more videos coming in the future.
