Picked up a pair of rechargeable Xbox360 battery packs at Costco for 15 bucks today, so I finally have 4 working controllers to use to test.

RT @taxincluded: http://jesseabishop.bandcamp.com/album... - to download the soundtrack to Brooks, Jesse and I's upcoming XBLIG/PC title, Aeternum. Give it a listen.
So, it's pretty hard to make a compelling credit scrawl when there's basically only three names to put in it.

I'm pretty sure the only thing that got me through yesterday was playing La-Mulana the whole time with the news on in the background.
RT @KrisWD40: Playtest 2D Voxel Madness for those that are interested. https://login.live.com/login... #XBLIG #XNA
I think this whole"Aeternum in playtest" thing is throwing me off too much. Still work to be done! http://twitter.com/BrooksB...
A build of Aeternum is up in #XBLIG playtest. The thought of other people playing it is both scary and exhilarating.
Taking screenshots. Lots and lots of screenshots.
RT @taxincluded: Aeternum has title music! I've been looping it for several minutes now, seriously, you guys are going to love the soundtrack.

Doing an audio polish pass. Tweaking sound effects and whatnot throughout the whole game. Amazing how much this adds.
Options saving complete. Now to handle high score tables.
Trial mode stuff written. On to making options and scores save! #XNA #XBLIG
Finally getting into writing the Xbox specific stuff for Aeternum, like trial mode and showing the marketplace from the menu. #XNA #XBLIG
Running a stress test on the Xbox build of Aeternum. Letting it autoplay cycle a few complete game runs and see how it goes.

I asked Jesse Bishop a bunch of crazy questions about writing the music for Aeternum. http://wastedbrilliance.com/2012... #hamburgerthrowing

I think it's a sign your game's soundtrack is coming along well when you can't stop listening to it while you work on the game itself.
