Hello all,
This is a place for all of us and all of you to meet one another and get a long so that we may all become The Best of Friends™.
See, there’s only a handful of us in this tiny and pathetic man-cage office and so we occasionally experience mild attacks of cabin fever. However, by telling us all about yourselves and thereby PROVING that you are far more than internet porn-bots, maybe, little by little, we will remember what it is to be…
human.
As one of the aforementioned handful I have been goaded into providing the first introduction.
I was hired in January to program our first game, which has after a great deal of changes has metamorphosed into Plain Sight.
I bizarrely decided I would like to write an engine from scratch in a year on my own. After a couple of months I changed my mind and convinced Robin and Damien it would be a good idea to get Alex in (the demanding one who started this thread) to prevent my untimely death.
That’s all for now, I must return to the programming.
Hi,
I’m Christian aka derchris.
I’m looking forward for the game, looks like a lot of fun.
How will this be distributed for the 360. Arcade ?
Cheers,
derchris
Hi Christian
Great to have you on board!
We’d love to be on XBLA, but there’s also the new ‘community games’’ initiative that looks awesome. We’ll have to find out which is best suited for us!
Anyway, In Novemeber you’ll be able to play the PC version - this is the port we’re currently working on the most…
Cheers
Robin
PS: Afraid I had to change you animated gif to a static one (for some reason it was crazy and huge) - sorry!
I’m Lambo, I’m irish, and I wandered onto this site form the good ol’ lads of RockPaperShotgun.com (your link button doesn’t seem to work properly…for me at least) I have to say i don’t have much else to say but I am very intrigued by your game and can’t wait to get my hands on oyur beta (assuming I get a place .........*drops a coin in a wishing well thats at the end of the rainbow while keeping the number seven firmly in mind*)
Hi,
I’m Keith. I currently exist to thank Beatnik Games for linking their FAQ to my company’s game. After my thanking them, I will next exist to make another game.
You guys top the pudding! (Oh and hey. Make your robots spew cogs and screws when they’re damaged.)

I’m geeky, love gaming, and am crazy excited for Plain Sight.
I’m Ali, and er…I just started school..[dunno]
I found out about this game from Destructoid, and it seems like an interesting concept.
Plus I like robots and swords. =)
[Can’t really think of anything else to say…so I’ll leave it at that for now.]
I like pie. Video Games are sexy. Submarines are long hard and full of seamen.
I found out about this sexy game from Gametrailers. I was like “Woah man, this is cool!”
So yeah. Love me. Please.
Hello,
I’m an Emergency Room Nurse here in America. I play video games with my boys (college age through junior high) on our P.C.s and Xbox’s. We don’t have high speed internet out here in the country so we play each other through LAN.
Could anyone at the Beatnik office tell me if there will be any A.I. bots in the P.C. version of your game. If not, will there be offline multi-player through system-link for the Xbox 360?
The video looks great and really helps to explain the game play basics.
Thanks,
Keeshondown
Hey Beatnik Gamers, I’m Demetrious. ^^
Damn, didn’t think much further than that… oh! Wait, yeah . . .
I’m a marketing associate with a small firm in Miami, as well as an aspiring writer willing to write almost anything. Heard about the game via Kotaku and I must say I’m impressed. I’m looking forward to the beta and some interesting matches based on the premises of high-flying robots with swords that have to blow themselves up on the sole purpose to do it all over again. Ha! Good times…
Hi Guys
i also stumbled across this page via RockPaperShotgun.
looks like a really fun and interesting concept. I just love these minimalistic designs!
Looking forward to this game!
I’m also one of the drones from RPS. I thought the video and the gameplay described in it looked really neat, so here I am. I’ve been an internet porn-bot… uhhh, I mean human for all my life. Ever since I was built… no, born!
Hello. I’m Sam, the artist mainly responsible for the creation of the Playgrounds of Joy/ Robot Slaughter Zones/ levels that feature in Plain Sight. I hope they are enjoyed by all (within the target demographic). Word.
wooooo, look at all these lovely shiny new people to play with! Thanks for satisfying my idle whimsy and opening up your personal lives to my demanding scrutiny. I hope you’ll all stick around for the foreseeable future.
Keeshondown: Thanks for the questions, they allow us to clarify our game ever more… clearly. I’ve updated the FAQ to take them into account, but basic gist is that there will be no A.I. bots but you will be able to play the PC version over LAN as well as the Internet. As for the 360 system link, well, it’s certainly something we’d like to do, but as we’re not focusing on that port yet and so can’t speak authoritatively.
Hey Hey… I didn’t really happen to find my way by some kind of chance or led by another website, but my good ole friend Alex.. (Alex Best, that is) .. Who was working on some games at Beatnik.. Anyways I usually use the alias (pseudonym? ) EliXiR, but you can call me Luke.. I’m extremely interested in Independant Video Games and plan to follow your company very closely.. I too am trying my best to get into Independand Game development with my sounds and music and also I have designed a few short episodic RPG games for my friends influenced by my own personnal life, I understand how important these projects are and that you’ve put your heart and soul into all that you have created, like Video Games used to be like before the PS2, XBOX era :[ . Commercial and Retail Video Games dont really do it for me anymore, not like they used to :[ which is why i have turned my back on the console ( unless its Metal Gear or Resident Evil) and opened my arms to the wonderful world of Indie Games.. I look forward to your realease of ‘Plain Sight’ (psst, spare us a beta key? :/) and give my full support.
Thank You and Goodnight.
