Hi all, Graham here.

We were lucky enough to secure special guest MEGASHAUN to write and record the end credits song for Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack. Shaun makes a brief cameo in the game as a reporter on the street, where he accidentally gets in the Blob’s path.

The song gives an often overlooked human side of the events that unfold in the game. Told from the perspective of a remorseful scientist, the song describes his feelings as he watches the Blob go on its destructive rampage.

Make sure to check out MEGASHAUN’s Bandcamp page for the song HERE, where you can download high quality versions of this track, as well as some awesome additional remixes.

Hey all, Graham here.

We ran a competition at PAX Prime last year where people competed on two of the levels from Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack for a chance to get their likeness put into the game. Competition was fierce near the end with the top competitors continually knocking each other out of first place.

Final Scores

With development over, we wanted to share the final results of this with everyone.

In first place for the Moon level, we had gamer and overall nice-guy who went by the handle “Geems”.

In first place on the Desert level, we had PAX neighbor, and gaming virtuoso “PWG”, aka Andy Nguyen, associate producer on Monaco.

The runners up on each of the two levels were friends of the studio “Chris” and “Eeease” (aka Eric) from PSNStores.com. The competition was so close and with first place changing hands so many times we really wanted to include these guys in the game as well.

Thanks again to everyone who came out to see us at PAX. Keep a lookout for these guys in the early levels of Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack, coming soon to a Vita near you!

We thought it would be fun to share and old elevator pitch video that we made awhile back for Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack (coming soon to a PlayStation Vita near you!).

Maybe we take things a bit too literally because we filmed this video in a freight elevator. For safety reasons the elevator was not moving (the last inspection was in 2006).

The video introduces the main character of Mutant Blobs Attack, and gives an overview of the type of gameplay to expect, along with some old game footage. Check it out:

Regarding the quality, only the latest in recording technology (iPhone 4), and editing technology (Windows Movie Maker) was used for the making of this pitch video.

For all the latest updates for the game (and more!) Make sure to follow us on Twitter @MutantBlob and @DrinkboxStudios, and like us on Facebook!

Hopefully you’ve all had a delicious belly full holidays, we certainly have. But apparently there is a game to finish?

Just wanted to give a holla to Curtis over at PSNStores who kindly gave Tales from Space: About a Blob a nod as one of his PSN GOTY picks for 2011. w00t.

Happy New Year everyone!  Hope you’ve all had your fill of holiday turkey and cranberry sauce.

We should probably have posted this about a week and a half ago, but better late than never so here goes:  Sony recently put out a list of U.S. PS Vita launch titles.  Lo and behold, there we are about 3/4 of the way down the “Third Party Launch Day Titles” section.  Amazing!  You can find this list on most big gaming sites at this point.

Granted, our game is mysteriously listed as “Tales of Space: Mutant Blobs” (I love how both halves contain a typo/mistake of some kind ).  Regardless, we’re very excited to be in there..  Right next to Katamari, even.

Now we just have to finish! Updates coming soon.

Hi Everyone, Mutant Blobs Update:

We’re past Beta now.. onto the final stretch before launch! Development on the project has kind of kicked into high gear over the past month or so and things are really coming together quickly – it’s both stressful and exciting.

In related news, the Vita is out in Japan now and the launch date for the system is set for North America & Europe: Feb 22nd. We’ve definitely got our eye on that date..

One final note: The PlayStation Blog recently ran an article celebrating PSN’s top selling indie games of 2011.. and we were very happy to see About a Blob in at #2 in the "Top 5 Best-Selling Pub Fund titles" list, along-side some other great indie games.

Happy holidays, more news soon!

We’re nearing the end of the month of Movember and DrinkBox has some fine facial hair that we want to share with the world.

First off we have Matthew back on the team helping us with QA, and he came equipped with a pretty thick mo’. Burt Reynolds eat your heart out.

Alex had a shaving mishap half way through the month (accidentally lost the mo’) but joined in again right away and is back in the race!

Chris M, looks exactly the same as in our last update for some reason. Not that that’s a bad thing. “Hey who let Legolas into the office?”

David and I came to similar conclusions, i.e., that a moustache really needs a beard as an accessory.

Anyway, it’s been a blast. Can’t wait to do it all again next year!

As I’m *sure* you’ve all noticed, our new protagonist in Mutant Blobs Attack has a rougher look, maybe even edgier – or spikier in the least. When designing levels I try to keep our new Blob in mind, and the theme that keeps on popping up is sarcastic, maybe a little mean, and certainly out for justice (did I just describe myself?).

Therefor, if I had to make a list of the characters who to me form new Blob’s attitude, it would be the following:

Casey Ryback: Under Siege

Statler and Waldorf: The Muppet Show

Raphael: TMNT (TV Series)
