Ace on Steroids released!

Posted by on Apr 18, 2012 | 7 comments

I made it! Ace on Steroids is now available on the three platforms I intended to get and YOU can get its source code by just getting the game for just around 1 buck (US$1.29, €0.99, £0.79 and 80 MS Points on Xbox 360).

Here is the PR I sent over some online media press:

ACE ON STEROIDS IS AVAILABLE!

 

PARIS, FRANCE. – April 17th, 2012

Indiefreaks studio proudly announces the release of Ace on Steroids on Windows, Xbox 360 & Windows Phone 7. Ace on Steroids is a beautiful simple top down asteroids shooter game yet the promise lands in the fact that every purchaser of this game will be granted a full access to the game source code and assets.

Their goal is to share their knowledge with as many game developer “wannabees” as possible to support game development creativity and quality.

“By sharing best practices and real examples to a wide audience, we improve the chances to see new game developers joining the party and make great games for us to play” says Philippe Da Silva, Indiefreaks studio owner. “We believe Ace on Steroids players will have a lot of fun making their games and, who knows… Maybe we’ll team up and create some other great games together.”

Ace on Steroids source code will be accompanied with step by step tutorial videos explaining in more details how and why things were done the way they were.

Ace on Steroids is available right now on the following platforms:

    Congrats on the release, fun game as I just downloaded on Xbox. After downloading how do I get access to the source?

    Thanks Greg.

    Once you purchased the game, you’ll just go to the main menu and hit the “Source” menu item that’ll explain you how to access the source code of the game ;)

    Hi Ken,

    IndieCity client works great on the different systems I tried it out. Contact them directly to ask how to get the client to work: they are pretty cool guys and generally make their best to help players and developers ;)

    If that isn’t the case, let me know and I’ll push it for you ;)
