This is my big day 
Today I bought the latest issue of GameStar (the biggest PC gaming magazine in Germany) and even after being prepared by one forum member and a buddy of mine – I was totally blown out of my socks 
I opened the issue on page 84 and there it is. A third of a page devoted to my beloved GunGirl ^^. Of couse I have to frame this page and treasure it as a defining moment in my life for my first ever appearance in a game magazine with my very own little game I made in my free time. Hopefully some company finds this and sees some potential in me and I can make games for a living some day… what? Reality? Yeah, the chances are probably very low… but I can still dream about it, can’t I? 
Thanks to all the players, thanks to everyone who donated and support me and thanks for everyone who spread the word about GunGirl 2 and made it known all over the world! This is a great day in my life and I realize that I’ve really accomplished something that I can be proud of

Today, a new version has been released. It has no new features, but fixes some annoying problems like the New Blue Door Bug™ and a few other things like a Demon Boss appearing even if a quest hasn’t been solved yet.
Aaaand… the Impossible Block Puzzle™ is gone! Yes, it’s gone for good. I’m fed up with all the hate mails about this section of the game. So, I hope you enjoy the new version

A few days back, I got mail from an editor of GamersGlobal.de, a very big German community website about gaming. I got asked if I wanted to give a little insight about the development of GunGirl 2 and indie-games in general. If you are interested in what I think about the subject, you can read the three pages long article here. If you are not familiar with German, you can also read a Google translation of the interview.

Josh Whelchel and his gang did an awesome job on the GG2 soundtrack, that’s for sure. Lately Josh’s been posting some very interesting articles about the making of this beautiful work of art over at his blog! He gives a lot of insight on how he’s accomplishing his high production qualities, lets you listen to some early and never before published drafts of GG2 tracks, how the work with other live musicians went (including videos of the live recording) and a lot more (such as what a dick I was, always yelling at him and whipping him to make me more music ^^). No seriously, check it out!

Today the patch 1.1 has been released. There are two main new features that this update adds to the game.
Endless Mode
Know MegaMan 9 or MegaMan 10 Endless Stage? This is almost like it. When you play as the Secret Character, a new NPC at the mall will give you an endless amount of fresh new randomly generated missions. Each time you win a mission, you get a reward and your next mission will be longer then the previous. Play this mode for a while and you will see the name of this mode is fitting!
Online High Scores
Are you good enough to compete with the best players in the world? When you finish a map of the Arcade Mode, you will see the leaderboard of every high score of different players worldwide. Shoot zombies and gain the high score to show everyone who’s King (yes you even get a crown!)
Impossible Jump Easy Mode
Yes, you asked for it, now you got it. The “impossible block jump” will be easier if you play on Normal.
Several bug fixes
Can’t shoot while pressing up? Can’t win against a certain boss? Well, I’m listening to my players and of course I have tried to address as many glitches and flaws as possible. Still not satisfied? Please feel free to discuss it in the forums!
Have a nice day

A new feature in the upcoming patch will be the Endless Mode. Ever played MegaMan9 or 10 Endless Stage? Well, then you should know what this is. It means that you can get missions that consist of a number of level segments in random order. The longer you play, the more segments will be added to the random missions.
The Endless Mode will be exclusive for the Secret Character. So better start unlocking

If you’re wondering what I’ve been doing the last time, here is the answer. I’m currently working on an update that will include several fixes and new features. It will contain a new gameplay mode for the secret character and (if I can get it to work) a new online high score system for the Arcade mode. If you have any suggestions for this update, go to the GG2 Forums and post it there.
Speaking of the forums, TheGentleRaven has recently posted a 100% Walkthrough in video format over there. You should check it out if you’re stuck somewhere or think the game is too difficult for you. He commented on a lot of areas and shows some neat tricks to master the harder sections of GG2.

I was quite surprised today when I got noticed about a mention of GunGirl 2 over at RockPaperShotgun.com! It’s an honor for me and believe it or not, I had nothing to do with it. So thanks a lot
Another thing of notice came to me that some people got stuck somewhere in a level because a blue door is closed and the keycard is missing. This is a random glitch I overlooked and I have to apologize for the trouble it caused for some people. However, I’ve made a hot fix for this glitch, which can be found in my GG2 Forum.
Also, thanks for the nice response about the game I got from all around the world so far! It’s my biggest game I’ve made as a single guy (besides the soundtrack from Josh) and it’s a good feeling to see that many people seem to enjoy the game (although the server traffic cost is probably going to kill me by the end of the month).
