April 23, 2015 · Arvind

Brush off your kicking boots and pick up your diplomacy cravat from the cleaners, because it’s time for you to take to the ludicrous streets of Whateville and solve everyone’s problems for them.

Will Fight for Food, the comedy RPG brawler that breaks all the rules, is now available on Steam! Make friends. Make enemies. Punch indiscriminately. The choice, my friend, is yours. Basically, what I’m trying to say here is:

Will Fight for Food: Super Actual Sellout: Game of the Hour is on Steam now!

What a shame.

What might happen in the game. *might*

PSA: Fashion is Everything

April 17, 2015 · Arvind

Here at Pyrodactyl Games, we know what you like: aggressive, genre-blending, hardcore fashion statements.
Which is why we spent the past eighteen months of development and sixty thousand dollars adding these extra few selectable costumes.

You’re welcome.

Problem Solving in a Post-Luchador Era

April 9, 2015 · Arvind

Being an RPG protagonist is not easy:

You have to solve the problems of complete strangers, ~~especially~~ even if they might not appreciate your help.
You must navigate complex webs of social interactions while on the lookout for potential romantic NPCs.
You must dance to the whims of quest-givers so they can shower you with XP, so you can then move to another area and dance for a different set of….you get the idea.

Being a beat ’em up protagonist is also not easy:

People do not take kindly to being punched.

How is a simple luchador expected to survive in these fraught, modern times?
Look no further than this lecture from our resident Professor:

To hone your problem solving skills, why not play Will Fight for Food: Super Actual Sellout: Game of the Hour!
Coming to Steam for Windows, Mac and Linux on April 22.

WFFF: SAS: GOTH is an entirely rewritten and redeveloped version of a game we made in 2012. It will be like playing a remaster and reboot at the same time, except you probably didn’t play the original game before so it’s EVEN BETTER.

Good Robot is happening, and it’s on Steam Greenlight

March 12, 2015 · Arvind

When dinosaurs were ruling over the Earth and selfie sticks hadn’t been invented, Shamus Young was making a procedural generated shoot ’em up about a robot, with skill trees and tons of variety in the enemies and bosses you face (as long as you define “variety” as “tons and tons of different robots”). But then, an army of murderous robots tried to abduct him, which made him turn to Pyrodactyl for help – and now we’re working with him on the game!

However, everything is not dandy just yet – Good Robot needs your vote on Steam Greenlight! To convince you, we made a nice trailer with lots of bullets flying around:

Rutskarn, the writer of Unrest and Will Fight for Food: SAS: GOTH will be the writer on this project, making sure the game is well supplied with puns and other forms of lowbrow humor. Find our more about the game on the Steam Greenlight page.

Shamus also has a developer blog about the game, which is a very informative read if you want to see how a game is made – here’s the latest post.
