Reviews and Release

The reviews for ITSP have been coming in and we're keeping track of them on our twitter account. Check them out!

The game is being release on XBLA tomorrow! Make sure you download the trial and give it a spin. I think you'll like what you find!

ITSP's Animated Credits

I always enjoy seeing movies with animated credits. I even got to do the opening credits for the movie, Osmosis Jones, during my tenure as head of 2D special effects at Warner Brothers Feature Animation. We thought it would be fun to cap off our videogame with its very own set of animated credits. I had a blast putting those together. I hope you enjoy them!

Concept Art

On your journey through the Shadow Planet, you will uncover icons that will grant you access to 37 pieces of concept art that I painted for the game. After we decided which 37 pieces would be hidden in the game, we were still left with a large amount of nice material. As a result, we decided to put some of this material on-line for your viewing pleasure. Click here to check it out!
