The game was released in March 2010 on Steam for Microsoft Windows and on Xbox Live Indie Games for the Xbox 360.

The new game used assets imported from Chung's early space combat prototype, Space Piñata. Flotilla incorporates several pieces of classical music in its score, such as Chopin's "Raindrop" prelude. It received mixed reviews from video game media outlets, scoring 72 out of 100 on review aggregate website Metacritic, and was included in Mike Rose's book 250 Indie Games You Must Play.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:13 UTC on Tuesday, 25 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Flotilla (video game) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

In which we play Quadrilateral Cowboy (2016), a simulation of a techno-heist simulator. Pippin is up for some more badminton if you are. David ponders the hidden complexities of fiddleocities.

This month the book club takes a trip back to the future of hacking with Quadrilateral Cowboy by Brendan Chung aka Blendo Games! Equipped with a "top-of-the-line hacking deck outfitted with a 56.6k modem and a staggering 256k RAM” (which is only slightly faster than Josh's setup) the group talks through the plethora of interesting features and how the game succeeds, and sometimes fails, to pull them together into a mechanically engaging and aesthetically fascinating whole.Three Word Reviews:Josh - Long Compile TimeBryan - Planning as CreationClint - Couldn't Hack It

Planeten scannen, Kraftwerke bauen, durch die Zeit reisen, Waffen anmalen. Alles schön und gut. Aber während Christian Schiffer und Christian Alt mit ihrem neuen Podcast Last Game Standing klären, welcher große Titel sich den Orden für das beste Sequel an die Brust heften darf, fragen wir uns: Ist das noch Indie? Deswegen haben sich Christina, Daniel und Florian zusammengefunden, um den Christians Schützenhilfe zu leisten. Wir sprechen nicht nur darüber, warum es so schwer ist, Sequels zu Indie-Spielen zu finden, sondern stellen euch in diesem Cast auch sechs Vertreter in zwei Dreiergruppen vor. Wer letztlich in das Club-WM-Finale bei den Kollegen von Last Game Standing einzieht, entscheidet allerdings ihr - natürlich standesgemäß in einem Twittervoting unter https://twitter.com/lostlevelz. Das erste Trio: - Nidhogg 2 - Shelter 2 - Bulletsss Das zweite Trio: - N+ - 30 Flights Of Loving - Gunman Clive 2 Jetzt im Forum von Last Game Standing anmelden: https://forum.lastgamestanding.de

Following our discussion of last year's smash cut heavy Virginia, the Moving Pixels podcast decided to take a look back at one of Virginia's gaming inspirations, Thirty Flights of Loving.   This week the podcast looks at the avant-garde games of indie developer Blendo Games.

This week we are joined by Brendon Chung of Blendo Games. Brendon has made such fantastic titles as Atom Zombie Smasher, Gravity Bone, and Flotilla. In this episode, we discuss the use of descriptive adjectives in game titles, the dubious merit of new console hardware, the worth of sex in gaming, and the quality of Spencer's internet connection.[MP3 AUDIO]Brendon Chung on TwitterBlendo GamesThirty Flights of Loving on SteamGet a 30-day free trial of NetflixTry a free audiobook and support the show![LINK] Microsoft could delay 720 till 2014[LINK] Gamestop pulling PS2 games in preparation for next-gen consoles[LINK] Sex game pulled from Steam Greenlight

Teddy gets serious with Brendon Chung (aka Blendo Games) about working solo, how he keeps a routine, and pushing to push out of his comfort zone. After a weekend of crunch work, Teddy attempts to summarize all of Los Angeles in five minutes.

Brendon (creator of Barista, Gravity Bone, Flotilla, Air Forte, Atom Zombie Smasher, and Thirty Flights of Loving) and Brie (formerly of Ubisoft Montreal where she worked on the AI systems for the Assassin's Creed franchise and was lead programmer on Child of Light) join us on our very first episode to discuss narrative systems, whether or not cutscenes are evil, the systemic possibilities of a game based on The Good Wife, procedurally generated stories and level design, what an open world game without a main quest would be like, silent protagonists, if narrative is a game mechanic, and much more! Our Guests on the Internet Brendon's Website and Twitter Brie's Website and Twitter Stuff We Talked About A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction by Christopher Alexander 'Narrative is not a game mechanic' by Raph Koster Our theme music was composed by 2Mello, and our logo was created by Lily Nishita.

For the sixth installment of Player Vs. Podcast, with the teachings of Bird Jesus and The Keeper fresh in our minds, we dive headlong into the enigma of the week: Twitch Plays Pokemon. As far as what we've been playing, we've got Ikaruga, Outlast, Super Mario 3D World, more Spelunky, and a bunch of other random nostalgia gold, including SkiFree and Dragon Fighter. We've also got reader mail and some exciting announcements. Opening music is "Intro" by Slime Girls, break is "Rapping 2 U" by Das Racist, and closing is "Bright Lit Blue Skies" by Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. In prep for next week, we'll all be playing "Gravity Bone," and we encourage you to play it along with us! It's only 20 minutes long, and provides a LOT to talk about.

Piranha. Barracuda. Beluga Whale. A frog. These and other fish-types are discussed in episode 7 of Tone Control with Brendon Chung, founder of Blendo Games. Hear discussion on Brendon's earliest mod work, to his time in AAA at Pandemic, to the creation of Blendo games like Flotilla, Atom Zombie Smasher, 30 Flights of Loving, and the upcoming Quadrilateral Cowboy. Salamander.

Blendo Games' Brendon Chung joins Rob and Julian to talk about Flotilla, Atom Zombie Smasher, Gravity Bone, and his approach to design. Rob and Julian are fascinated by his willingness to conclude a game when it is at its best, and Brendon explains why that is and the things from his own games that he wants to revisit. Rob is crushed to hear of the lost, X-COM style metagame for Atom Zombie Smasher.
