I entered a contest to be the first to ride ‘WindSeeker‘ at Knotts when it opens in the next few weeks. I’m one of the finalist and will win if my video gets the most views. Be sure to tell your friends about the video and thanks for the help!

Lock and Load! V2.0
Another glorious and successful day on the battlefield! The Armor Games team went out for our second paintball event. There were welts, scars, blood, and hot pink paint? Enjoy the pictures above. We would also like to thank SC Village for helping put the event together and always making the experience worth while. Lock and Load V3.0 may take a while, the healing process has started.

Lock and Load! Armor Games Paintball Day
The Armor Games team had an amazing time on our paintball day! From South Vietnam, to Baghdad, to Kuwait, SC Village was an amazing paintball park. I am sure there will be additional paintball days in the future. This was a very enjoyable experience besides that fact that all of us in office will be sore and bruised until the end of the week!

Australia Disaster Support
Some of you may be familiar with the disastrous floods that have been going on in Australia. Not only that, but the country was hit by a very intense cyclone having many fear for their lives. This was something Australia could have not expected nor been prepared for. Our good friends at Jazza Studios, who are located in Australia, have started a donation to help raise money for the disaster. 100% of the funds raised will be donated to supporting relief efforts.

Perfect K.O.L.M.I.A.M. Speed Run
Watching this made me so happy I could sing.
When I see things like this it really makes me feel great about what I do, this guy perfected the gameplay and his knowledge of the levels is legendary. I don’t even think I’ve ever completed challenge mode without dying at least twice, and I made the thing!
Well done Mr makspayne!

Artist Needed
Hey Armor Blog readers!
I’m about to start a new project in the coming weeks and I’m in dire need of a talented artist.
The project will be an action/strategy game with a medieval/middle ages style within a slightly isometric view.
Ideally we’d like someone that’s good with Flash art and animation and/or someone that’s good with sprite sheet animation. This person would also need to be fast and work within a schedule.
The project will require 30+ hours a week for about 2 months. Our budget for the project is $7,000.
So if you’re a talented artist and would love to work on an Armor Games project, please send your portfolios to to MedievalGame@ArmorGames.com.
