  • Boss Battle Briefings

    Boss Battle Briefings

    One of the most intense encounters in the game of Fingeance are the boss battles. The Dolphin Empire has trained, manufactured, and bioengineered these big baddies to prevent your team from reaching the heart of the their territory. You and your crack team of fishes will need all the help you can get to defeat…

  • The Long Push

    The Long Push

    Phew! As we said last week, we’ve finished up a HUGE push. It was pretty intense; we spent a lot of time working on new content for the game. We worked on new enemies, bosses, and environments (like the Kelp Forest). I wanted to take this time to reflect on the experience, talk about what…

  • New Biome: Dolphin City

    New Biome: Dolphin City

    First things first: we did it! As of 11:59pm on January 19th, we have a full-length game on our hands. Our plan was as ludicrous as it was ambitious. It took us just under 18 months to make the previous two levels, and we challenged ourselves to make the next six in just three weeks.…

  • New Biome: Kelp Forest

    New Biome: Kelp Forest

    Escape Industries has been working hard over the holidays to bring you new content (who needs sleep anyways?). This includes new enemies, bosses, parts and, most importantly, biomes. Without further ado, we bring you the next area of Finn and friends’ journey, the Kelp Forest. The Kelp Forest sleeps just beyond the Coral Reef, and…

  • The Future of Fingeance

    Hey folks, long time no see! I’m sure those following us have wondered where we’ve been, as we’ve been fairly silent since our recent demo at Gamer’s Rhapsody. We’re still here, working tirelessly to provide you with the underwater mayhem you crave. Unfortunately, real life can get in the way. Recent events (finals week, weather,…

  • High Level Weaponry Designs

    High Level Weaponry Designs

    Last week, we talked about the visual features we’re adding to the game for the high level parts of Fingeance. In order to increase the amount of levels players can go through (we can’t stress enough how much players have been asking for this!), we’ve been working hard to bring high level content to the…

    Welcome Geek Event and Demo Update

    Displaying at the Welcome Geek Event This past week, we displayed Fingeance at Welcome Geek, hosted by Glitch Gaming in Minneapolis. We’d like to thank all of those people who gave our game a chance at the event! It was a blast watching players team up for some fishy fun, as well as a valuable…

    Tank Additions and Future Ideas

    Hey everyone! First, we at Escape Industries would like to thank you for giving our newest alpha demo of Fingeance a playthrough. We really appreciate it. Working on Fingeance would not be nearly as rewarding without the feedback and support we’ve gotten. Speaking of feedback, one thing has been coming in loud and clear: player…

  • Movement in Fingeance

    This past week, I’ve been looking at the movement options we have in Fingeance currently. This blog post is gonna get pretty in depth in some of our design philosophies and understanding of our game, as well as the history of this game’s creation a little. Hopefully you get something interesting out of it. (Quick…
