I’ve always imagined Soma Games as a transmedia company. In fact I have a version of our logo that says Soma Media. While we’ve spent the majority of our time making games we’ve also dabbled in comics, fiction and video all along the way. For example have you seen the G inspired music video and…
Recently we sat down as a team to look back on our experiences at GDC 2016. Our immersive G Prime booth was a big hit at the conference, though being non-immersive, our booth stood in stark contrast to the almost inescapable promotion of VR (make sure to check out our micro-documentary, “People Wearing Headsets“!) For us…
This week on Flurry Friday… We asked and you answered – here are the results of the Redwall Gameplay Poll! Also are you on Snapchat? So are we! Come see what’s “snap”-pening daily at the Soma office with John B! (see what we did there? That was funny because we used the word “snap” like…
This week on Flurry Friday… What did we see at The Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2016? VR headsets, tons of foot traffic, VR headsets, overwhelmingly positive feedback on our immersive G Prime booth, and headsets for VR! We also added in a dash of our micro-documentary: “People Wearing Headsets”. 0:20 – Set up 1:30 –…
This week on Flurry Friday… “In Redwall, will you be able to choose the gender and species?” Come find out. Come take a walk in Erin the Art Director’s undoubtedly stylish shoes – this is what it’s like to see your work at last up on the iOS store. Chris explains why intentionally trying to…
This week on Flurry Friday…short and sweet. Can you make everything out of anything? Our friend Elizabeth Hudec can. Cat food tins, cinnamon, and hot glue coalesce to create this year’s Soma Games booth for GDC (Game Developers Conference 2016)! So who’s going to be there? Come check it out and meet us. We will…
This week on Flurry Friday… With G Prime finally ready to ship we’re doing an initial “soft launch” where we can collect some feedback, learn a few lessons, and maybe cut off bug or two in the process before things “go big” on Xbox One January 6, 2016…which “happens” to be Epiphany for anybody watching.…
by John McGlothlan Fred: Simple Minded yet Visually Intelligent Fred is an alien organism that appears (eventually) in the ARC games, though not in G Prime. Think of a space-faring jellyfish.

It’s been…a while…since we had the bandwidth and brain cycles to sit down in front of a camera and share our news and newts with the video-loving fan base. In fact the last episode of Flurry Friday was over two years ago…ZOINKS! Shaggyism’s aside it sure is great to be back. In this episode we…
