Behind the scenes - Brick Breaker 1.0.2
Indie Dev life is great - work on what you love, too! :)
Well it’s been super cool to announce the release of Brick Breaker Lightspeed 1.0.2 update! There’s real momentum happening over here. And I’d love to share it with you!
The Team Grew - we got QA! 🔬👩🔬
I have been hosting an internship lately and it’s been an absolute privilege to be joined by the wonderful Lexi Dugo! Lexi has been learning the ropes of QA in viddy games and Brick Breaker Lightspeed has been her project of focus. You can see her in the credits now!
But there’s another name on there you haven’t heard of before…
Phil Newberry Games → SilverLock Media
Lexi has been positively encouraging me to actualise my dreams. By this, I mean to actually go for what I wanted.
I always wanted to create a games studio called Silverlock Media. Then with some words and a moment, Lexi creates this fantastic logo…
So that means Silverlock Media… is now SilverLock Media (with the capital L!). Can’t help but agree it looks better to me, too.
Getting our dancing shoes on 🕺
This meant updating the socials - you can find us in a few of your favourite places!
YouTube - check out the Goblins and Dragons Thrash Metal Trailer!
LinkedIn - We have a company page now!
Discord - If you want to get involved in the conversations come join us in our Discord!
What does a day in the life of SilverLock Media look like?
I’m glad you asked :D
Typically - Lexi and I will meet online once a day… We use Gather to do our communications - and plus, we get to vibe in a digital office. It looks like this!
During our time together we’ll discuss any changes/things that have happened since we last met up and then work on an action plan 💪
For the next three hours, we’re together and takin’ over the world 🗺
Our days include…
Marketing Mondays - where we do all things social 🕺
Research and Development Fridays - where we do all things NOT Brick Breaker Lightspeed and focus on us getting better as good, rounded professional individuals 🤓
The days in the middle - we’ll develop new features, test existing ones, analyse the data & plan in the forward movement.
Maybe I’ll do a viddy-log of what this looks like - it’s pretty rad!
At the end of our three hours, we’ll say goodbye and I’ll go to work my night job 🧪🥼. Lexi will enact her plans for the day 💻🥳
And we’ll do it all over again the next day! Monday to Friday!
Looking to the future 🤓
For now, the future of development will be involved with Brick Breaker Lightspeed, which you can play below for free!
We’ll be releasing one more Quality of Life update before we move onto creating new content for the game 🤓
What will that new content be?
Coming sooooon! It’s gonna be good!
Have a lovely day/night/time my loves 🥰 Hope to see you soon! Thanks for reading!
