We have passed the point where Twin Blades has become profitable (which sounds like a delectable dessert to our ears).
So we’ve got this big bag of money right now and being a big bunch of nerds we had no idea what to do with it, so we made a quick vote and unanimously decided to spend it all on custom t-shirts.

And because we have too many of these classy t-shirts, we thought we should give them away to our most dedicated fans. But we’re not going to throw them away randomly, or else where would the feeling of achievement be in that? How could you unsuspiciously parade in the streets with your PSS t-shirt and swell with pride in society without emanating the subtle odor of own sweat?

We’ve noticed Twin Blades had its fans and we like that, a lot. But further than that we’ve also noticed how some of these fans take initiatives to actively participate in the promotion of the game. And we want to reward those active fans, and we want to equip them with the best gear the world has to offer so they can beat the crap out of the other games’ fans.

Thus, we collectively decided that Phil should sacrifice the unique custom Twin Blades joystick he crafted out of a Xbox 360 pad and equipped with full Sanwa/Seimitsu japanese parts, and give it to our best uberfan.

Well that’s interesting, now how exactly do I become an uberfan so I can beat the crap out of other games’ fans with a unique joystick in a cool t-shirt? you ask. And the good news is we haven’t set any boundaries for that. All you need to do is promote Twin Blades in any way of your choosing and send us a picture or whatever you did at uberfan@press-start-studio.com before the 30th of may to enter the contest!

Get involved, do it your way! You could either tell about the game and how much you’ve liked it on your favorite forum like Gamer_Kyio did on IGN, or send a message to your daily game news blog to incite them to update their review with the DLC, or draw some fan art like Aphex did with the nun (along with a completely NSFW version), or send a tip to any website you think would like the game like KidKobun did with Mtv, or use your own prose to post a review of on the app store, possibilities are endless, creativity is all yours!

Aye, after months of hard work the free DLC is now available for download on the Xbox Live Indie Games channel!

As previously stated the new content brings a storyline, boss challenges, a mini map navigation system, 11 new environments, more awards to unlock, additional slash moves and plenty of other improvements.

Go ahead and enjoy the treat – we look forward to hearing your impressions!

Edit: The DLC has also hit the app store, ready your iPhones!

I’ve found the process of retreiving artworks from an elusive concept artist to be quite tedious. These people, ‘the creative people‘ as the politically-correct term seems to be these days, tend to turn into ostriches whenever a situation revolves around their previous creations, presumably because they see it as a flawed thing from the past, an ignomous monster they’ve spawned and are terribly ashamed of.

If you ask me tho, there’s nothing wrong with it. In fact I quite like the first version of Father Richiardo, the nun’s mentor.

In the updated version of Twin Blades Father Richiardo will be the central hub not only for the story as he gives indications to the nun, but also as a 24/7 convenience store as he’s now holding the shop accessible anytime between missions. That’s right, no more waiting until the End of Day to buy new weapons!

Next up we have a tree who’s role isn’t as central in the storyline, but is a nice tree anyway.

All that green stuff (along with many others) fit particularly well in the forest level, which has a certain eerie touch that make it particularly charming (if you take no notice of the zombies).

Feel free to send us your comments if you’d like to see more artworks!
