The lovely folk at Gamasutra are doing a series of interviews with notable independent game developers and it seems we are considered just that as we got asked to be one of them!
The interview with Mat covers topics from our inspirations and how we come up with our ideas to the importance of our community and our future. If you're curious about any of those or just like following any link presented to you then you can find the article here
check out this super cool image we were sent in by Francisco Collado from Argentina! It was actually part of an animation that showed the normal toxic sprite transfroming into this super beefed up version! Scary but brilliant!
UPDATE: We have since learned that this image was actually not created by Francisco Collado at all. This image was actually created by Dan Fessler and is actually nothing to do with Toxic. Unfortunately we had no idea this was the case so apologies for the mistake. Dan happens to be a very talented pixel artist in the US and if you're intereted in his work you can check out more of it here.
For those of you who haven't already noticed we have uploaded a new site skin today called Factory. Go to the Skins page to configure your site skin preferences!

Guess the names of the famous faces riding along in the cable cars in Skywire VIP.
Back when we made the original Skywire we had lots of emails guessing at who the little people in the cable cars were supposed to be. We liked this and so we expanded the selection of characters in Skywire 2 which we got even more email guesses about!
We actually made this mini-quiz in December 2008 when we started drawing lots of characters for a potential Skywire sequel. Although we haven't got round to making a Skywire 3 (yet) we thought it would be quite fun to incorporate them all into a quiz so that you could all see them and try to guess who they are supposed to be.
Have fun!
