We are collectively blushing and puking rainbows into each other’s mouths, while stacking each other into linked formations and attacking the enemy hero’s beer keg.

We made a game that comes in a box

To some, developing a game that is packaged in a box and sold in stores is normal. It is definitely not normal to Capy.

From the days before we even had a studio and met at a local bar, until Dec. 1st 2009, every single game that Capy had made was sold digitally – on a cell phone carrier, on the app store, on the PlayStation®Network. That all changed with the North American release of our little indie studio’s first Nintendo DS title, Might & Magic Clash of Heroes. It has box art, and a cartridge, and a manual. It comes wrapped in plastic.

While not everyone at Capy worked on the game directly, everyone at the studio played a role in making the game. This is a huge internet-based thanks to our whole team for helping us, directly or indirectly, to make a game that comes in a box.

What a cool moment.

First Clash of Heroes Review is published in Nintendo Power and it has made us want to PARTY.

OMfrakinG! The first ever review of Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes is in the November issue of Nintendo Power and at a solid 8.5 out of 10, it has brought much joy to our collective hearts!

Here are the highlights:

“Battles are wholly original, deep, and surprisingly intuitive, making for a richer combat system than any RPG in years.”

“The varied abilities of each hero’s troops keep the battle system fresh, and the developers (that’s us!) never run out of new gimmicks to keep players on their toes.”

“The clever puzzle battles and fast-moving story make Clash of Heroes easy to pick up and tough to put down.”

It is time to party. For real, it’s time to party because it was Kris’ birthday yesterday and we planned on partying even before this review, but now we’re going to party 2x as hard.
