Two games currently in development

Squid Studios is currently working hard on two original concept strategy board games. Since most of us have full time jobs outside of game development (sadly), these games might be awhile in the making. The working titles for the games are Liege Lords and Escape. We're currently focusing on Liege Lords (about 40% finished), and we'll then turn more heavily to Escape (about 10% finished).

Liege Lords is a competitive game of feudal conquest in which 3-6 players use political and military might to establish their right to the throne. Player will rule over player in this battle between lords and vassals, knights and footmen. Do you have the courage necessary to reign with nobility and valor?

Escape is a cooperative game in which all players must work as a team in order to escape galactic imprisonment and evade their alien captors. Each player's abilities, items, and energy must be used wisely to avoid setting off alarms or alerting the guards. No one player can escape alone, but--with a little luck and a lot of cunning--the whole team will make it out alive!

Check back weekly for development updates on these games, and we'll also keep you posted about the publishing and availability of our games (which may take a long while, but we're still very excited).

Welcome!

Thanks for visiting the Squid Studios blog!

Here, we'll post updates on the various games we have in development. Once they're ready, we'll have info on how and where you can get Squid Studios games. And we just might ask you for feedback about our games.

We're a small group of designers making games that encourage people to get together, to think creatively, and most importantly--to have fun! Whether collaborating or competing, we hope to make games that you'll enjoy forever.
