All stations are go by us

Finally! Bit battalion is up and running! Man we have been waiting forever to get this blog going.
So who are we? Well. Allow me to introduce… myself. I’ll give you the run down, question and answer style.

Who are you?

We are Bit Battalion, and that’s Sir Bit Battalion to you.

Okay, who are you actually?

We are actually two guys from Sydney, Australia that like making flash games. Like, really really like making flash games. So far, there are a total of two games to our name, but come on, we’re still young. We have two more currently in development. We have been coding in AS3 for a couple of years, and been using Flash for even longer. Its crazy how much of our lives we spend staring at Flex Builder. I sometimes end sentences with semicolons;

What’s the point of this blog?

It can get lonely being a nerd. We’ve spent so much time writing code all on our lonesome that we finally decided it was time to share the love. We’ll be posting up plenty of stuff about the way we approach game design, game programming, AS3 and of course, our games themselves. You will be sure to find something useful.

So what games have you made so far?

Sash made Spacetacular Voyage a while back. Sam made Gatecrasher even further back. Neat right? Later on we’ll be posting more about them.

So what games are you making?

It’s a surprise. For now at least. I’ll say this much though: they are a whole three steps up from our last games. I’ll be posting full post on the games that we are working on pretty soon. Be excited.

What do you guys actually do, apart from make games?

Well we both do Computer Science at university. Sam is extra clever, so he’s doing a double degree – Computer Science / Mechatronics. Video Games and Robots. Sash works as a flash developer for a small, high profile web design company in Sydney and loves it.


But thats just when we have our suits on. Usually, we play too much Xbox, drink too much beer, and argue for too long about stuff which is too nerdy to mention here.


Woah, have you guys always been this nerdy?

That is all for now.
Bit Battalion out.

    What kinds of things do you nerds argue about?
    Probably something like emacs vs vim.

  2. Sash says:

    Not quite that nerdy! Textmate is where it’s at.

  3. Nerd Girl. says:

    You’re both massive nerds. and i love you for it.

  4. martin says:

    only three comments? now there are four. your games are awesome, some really good ideas. have you considered doing something for the next ludum dare?

  5. Sam says:

    Thanks Martin! Both Sash and I have participated in the Ludum Dare, although for the most recent LD we didn’t get around to submitting our games. In early ’09 I made this (Oh-god-it’s-so-buggy); I’m certainly looking forward to the next one! Send us an email when the next LD rolls around and we can brainstorm over IRC.

    Thanks Yupis, glad to know you like them!
