ICYMI: We updated Flickers with bug fixes and remastered music! If you've never played it before, now's the time. Or play it again!

Flickers is an abstract, atmospheric, timing-based 2D platformer following the journey of the player from the heart of a dying flower through a world blanketed in perpetual twilight. Jump between hovering sparks called “flickers” as you make your way through painterly environments to reach the moon…

We're back! Here's a podcast of unknown numbering to celebrate! http://neatsnake.com/podcast-episode-27-existential-penguin/

We’re back to talk to you about the process of porting Flickers, video gamms and Werner Herzog. Also Jason sounds like he’s talking into a kleenex box. Pretty good return to form I’d say.

Hey! Just a quick note on why you haven't heard from us this last week. http://neatsnake.com/a-sweet-silence/

So this last week has been pretty silent for everyone here at Neat Snake. A few Snakes are finishing up school! This is very exciting but also very time consuming. Posts should get more regular soon but please bear with us until then. If you haven’t yet, have a listen to the most recent podcast!

If you look through our podcast archives right now, you might notice that episode 15 is mysteriously missing. This isn’t a technical error, it was a decision made by us. A derogatory word was used during that podcast, and while it wasn’t meant to hurt, it was definitely used without consideration an…

Interested in seeing some of the game development process? Jason wrote up a cool post on the Flickers prototype. http://neatsnake.com/old-flickers-prototypes/

Thanks to the magic of technology I was able to dig through our archives and find some old prototypes of Flickers, at various stages of development. Travel back in time with me!

Sometimes, there are guests on the podcast. Sometimes there are two! It's an all new podcast! http://neatsnake.com/podcast-episode-26-stop-the-whales/

It’s a full cast with Jason, Keith, Beth, along with newcomers Daniel Martell and Lauren Stutzriem! They talk about the process of learning PR and marketing, then the conversation quickly derails into madness. You are not ready for this podcast.

The newest podcast is up! It's mostly about the GDC experience and perhaps something to do with maids. http://neatsnake.com/podcast-episode-25-secret-maid/

Keith and Pearce talk about their GDC exploits, while Robert and Jason talk about the super cool and interesting things they did instead of that (read: basically nothing). Also: stealth interior decorating.
