Smart People Work Here

April 7th, 2009

So we have a lot of smart people who work here. It’s sort of a prerequisite on top of being superbly witty and incredibly funny, combined with really really good looking and, of course, humble. All jokes aside, our hard working engineers have been kind enough to offer access to some of their recent technical exploits. If you’re a fellow smart cookie (or, like me, just find yourself enamored with sequences of foreign looking mathematical functions that you can show to your friends and pretend you are smarter than they are) you’ll enjoy checking out our new Tech Papers section on the Dev Notes page. Guaranteed to make you 10% smarter, or atleast feel that way!

ph2916677460089532973 We wouldn’t be able to call ourselves Canadian developers if we didn’t have the hockey team to prove it! The season is wrapping up with the Slant Six Games’ men’s team putting up a solid showing, crushing the competition in the latest match with a 6-1 victory. Thanks for making those red and white-winged jerseys look good, team!

And if anyone is interested in purchasing one of our authentic hockey sweaters, send us an email. We can’t promise you’ll get a clean one though. Like I said… Authentic.

Our friends over at Sony’s official SOCOM blog have posted a nice long list of the tweaks that you’re going to find in the shiny new 1.5 update for SOCOM Confrontation. Instead of making me type it all out again, how about you just click this handy link? Release dates will also come via the official blog but you are still welcome to pester us on Twitter. We love attention.


New Confrontation Patch Released

April 3rd, 2009

Posted by Zoe at 11:30

In our continued effort to support our ever growing community of Confrontation players, we’ve got another update ready to download. The 1.42 patch landed yesterday and addresses issues around player spawning, removal of voted out players, and extreme ragdoll values. Also, we’ve included some general bandwith optimization goodness!

Thanks again to all of you who continue to write and give feedback. You’re patience and support (and even the ranting and stomping of feet) is important to our efforts here. The team is hard at work on a 1.5 update that will continue to improve the online play experience, as mentioned at the official SOCOM blog. Now stop reading and go get that 1.42 update!


Slant Six Outpaces the Competition

This weekend, a group of our hard working team members participated in the annual Vancouver Sun Run, a 10km race through our beautiful city with over 50,000 participants. Not only did we place FIRST in our division, beating out 118 other teams, but we placed tenth out of all the corporate teams that ran the race. The next time someone suggests that game developers are basement dwelling couch potatoes, perhaps you can suggest they take a look at our website. High performance game developers who can outrun you in the street.  Pretty impressive don’t you think?
