Guacamelee! Gold Edition News

We’re excited to announce our brand new game Nobody Saves The World, an Action RPG where you transform into different unique character classes, including a 🐁, a 🐎, a 🧙‍♂️, a 🧜, a 🐉, an 🥚, and a 🐢!

Here’s what people are saying about the game so far:

• “Blending the humor of the studio’s past games with the developers’ penchant for upending classic genre ideas, the opening missions of Nobody I played hint at a fascinating, funny, and fulfilling RPG adventure.” Jonathon Dornbush, IGN
  
  
• “It's pacy and fluid, slick, but light. It's great, and a good example of what this studio's all about. A layer of loveable goof, at ground level, that soon gives way to a much deeper well of combat, and systems, and a quiet mastery of genre.” Chris Tapsell, Eurogamer
  
  
• “One dungeon I explored was a crashed UFO site, whose stranded occupants needed me to sweep the area of monsters and get the power back on, for example. It’s a DrinkBox production, after all, where you can almost see the developers’ whiteboard with a zillion ideas written on it.” Owen S. Good, Polygon

Wow… 2020 sure was a year, huh? 😅 Despite, well you know *gestures broadly*, we’re very fortunate to have had a pretty good year at DrinkBox and wanted to take some time to look back, reflect on the year, and share some highlights.

When COVID-19 hit back in March, the city of Toronto went into full lockdown and the whole DrinkBox team transitioned to working remotely from home. There was definitely an adjustment period as we set up our respective home offices, switched to using Discord for our daily stand ups and meetings, and got used to our new co-workers -- ie. our cats and dogs and plants, who were especially excited about this working-from-home we were all doing. We’ve since settled into a nice flow with the whole team working together remotely, and now we have a new Friday night ritual of playing games together via Discord, which is a nice thing to come out of this whole lockdown thing.

Speaking of which, here are some of our team’s favourite games they played in 2020:

• Cass: Spelunky 2
• Gabby: Hades
• Graham: Crosscode
  
• Ian: Devil May Cry 5
• Josh: Rocket League
  
• Kaitlin: Animal Crossing New Horizons
  
• Mayuran: Hades, Factorio
  
• Mike: Hades, Demon's Souls remake
  
• Steph: Astro’s Playroom
  

While we didn’t have any new releases in 2020 ourselves, we did have some exciting Guacamelee! news to come out of this year:

• The Guacamelee! One Two Punch Collection was released in Europe!
  
• Juan made a cameo in Bounty Battle, along with several other indie game protagonists
  
• NOW Magazine named Guacamelee! one of their Top 10 Toronto-made Games (a lot of great games are made in Toronto so we’re very honoured!!)
  
• We partnered with Ship to Shore to create TWO vinyl records for both Guacamelee! and Guacamelee! 2! You can pre-order them both here

We also teased our upcoming unannounced game which we’ve been working hard on over this past year. It’s a brand new IP we’re very excited for, and can’t wait to share more about it with you in 2021 👀



To help us develop this brand new game we’re working on, we added 2 new people to the DrinkBox team, including Josh Davis our QA Tester and Kaitlin Smith our Associate Producer!

Hey actually, did you know we’re currently hiring for 2 additional roles including Senior Programmer and Game Tester? If you’re interested in applying check out the job listings here. We’d love to have you on the team!



Thanks for all your support in 2020. We hope you’re doing well and continuing to stay safe and that 2021 will be a much better year for everyone.

Happy Holidays, from your pals at DrinkBox studios

Happy holidays! 2019 was an eventful year for us, and we wanted to take some time to reflect on our past year and share some highlights.

We brought a lot of our games to new platforms this year including:

• Guacamelee 2! on Xbox One and Windows 10
• Mutant Blobs Attack to the Nintendo Switch
• A physical edition of Guacamelee! 1+2 Punch for Nintendo Switch and PS4 (with @LeadmanGames)
  
• Physical editions of both Guacamelee! and Mutant Blobs Attack for PS Vita (with @LimitedRunGames)
  

This year we travelled to a few places including the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, as well as Spain where Cuxo did a concept art workshop with Nintendo for their Day of the Dead festivities.

At Awesome Games Done Quick 2019 we watched @TheBlacktastic do an excellent Guacamelee! 2 speedrun which was so exciting it ground production in our office to a halt!

This year we welcomed back Steele to help us out on production on our new projects, as well as Gabby (that’s me!) to the DrinkBox team.

Juan made an appearance as a playable character in Riverbond and will be a guest character in Indivisible. We’re super excited to see him in two of our favourite games and can’t wait to play!





It’s been a busy year for us! We're still working away on our secret project and are excited to share more when we can.

In the meantime, all of our games are 75% OFF as part of Steam’s Holiday Sale, so if you’ve been meaning to pick them up, now’s the time!

Hey there Guacamaniacs!

If you've visited Steam in the last few days, you may have noticed the launch of a new feature: Steam's Remote Play. Basically, it lets you play local multiplayer games online!

Now seems like a great time to remind everyone that both Guacamelee! STCE and Guacamelee! 2 support 4-player local co-op -- a great reason to give Remote Play a try! To encourage people to do just that, we've put both games on sale for 80% off (along with the rest of the Drinkbox catalogue)!



Guacamelee! STCE Guacamelee! 2

We hope you have a blast!
