Desert Pirates Playtest open!!!
Hello tango lovers, we are here not to sell you, but to show you a little bit of our new game! Playtest opens today!!! We have been working on this game for... how much? 3 years already? Wow! And we got to a point in where I think we suffer "dev-blindness" (is that a thing?), we have worked so much time building the gameplay basis that we don't know what to improve anymore (before getting into the next big features). So, we ask for your help! What this is: It's a playtest in where you can try the gameplay and the feeling of the basic core of the game. For us is THE moment, because from here the game can really have a BIG turn focusing on what people want for games like this one :) The Playtest will be open for a week (10/13 to 10/20) and everybody from everywhere can freely join by clicking the "Request Access" button. Inside the game we have some feedback buttons for easily helping! You can play the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1454270/Desert_Pirates/ Thanks you so much and we hope you to have fun!

IT'S ALIVEEEEEE!!!
Hello everyone! So the news! I pickup the rebuild of Tango for the achievs and other "secret" stuff ;) Mostly on the weekends but it's nice to doing some code again. I'm about half done! I want to keep sharing some argentinian culture with you, so I thought on a classic Argentine movie. It's a comedy about day a day life on argentinian family, Argentine DNA on film. It's from the late 80'and still one of the better Argentine movies ever done. It's called: Waiting For The Hearse / Esperando La Carroza With english subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoROU1tjjpM Desert Pirates game is coming very nicely!!! Soon will be a small open beta, so be sure to follow that game in order to give it a try and tell us what parts are good or not. You can find it here: FOLLOW and WISHST >>> DESERT PITRAES I have been changing the main image for it, which do you think is better? Please halp! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30700621/b7a502fb319ec9b7d4ffeeafb58a3ccb3f70cb37.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30700621/c1c6475444ce89c520b58e55c5ba9c289d966b76.jpg Hope you enjoy the movie, you MUST see it!!!!

Hi people! Just wishing you Happy christmas, be next to the ones who love you and love back, that's pretty much it. Found something interesting, the first level design from tango, from the song "Fanfarria". {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30700621/fd647f2966b5133b85f74f446dc76bc7256bc21b.jpg This image basically shows where was the most interesting parts of the song, and were I could put something interesting, in case you wonder how I built the levels. Remember to visit our new game, is coming very nicely, we are now improving the main look :D {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30700621/4a873d09119c14732daa2dbdab745beaa5d6e666.jpg https://store.steampowered.com/app/1454270/Desert_Pirates/ Have fun!Read full article on Community Announcements (Smokitop)
