Upcoming games



As the Quatrix beta has been released, I have been working on a couple other games for the Zune.




These games are still in early development, but I estimate releases around late August or early September. As well as continuing work on Quatrix 1.0, I am also creating Snakez, a Zune game, which is a remake of the game Snake, where you play as a snake that is tasked with eating mice. With each mouse eaten, the snake grows, becoming longer. The other game I am working on is a top down shooter, so far untitled. This game features the main charcter as seen from a bird's eye view, and the player can pick up a variety of weapons to dispense of the enemy. This game will have a legitimate campaign and storyline, as well as some other modes such as Survival. Both these games are still in early stages, but I can provide screenshots of each. Although the final games may look different, these screenshots will give you a clue to what the game will be like.

Quatrix Beta Released!

As the first game created by Extron Productions, I am excited to announce that the beta for the game has been released under the General Public License. Quatrix is a remake of the classic Tetris, programmed for the Zune. While still in the beta version, many features are being programmed right now, such as the ability to play music, the ability to customize controls, and much more customization, such as theme, style, and game rules.
