What is torchbear ?
Torchbear is a social location based game where players from all over the globe participate in the World's BIGGEST RELAY RACE.

Similar to how the Olympic flame is passed from one person to another to spread the message of peace, unity and friendship Torchbear works in the same manner.

Each player gets to create a torch that has a specific purpose or goal before its passed on to start its journey around the world.
As the torch is passed from one player to the next other players get to contributes to the torch mission by posting comments, adding photos or by passing it on.

1. Create a torch on your phone
2. Give it a mission or goal
3. Find another player near you and exchange torches
4. Post pics or comment on each others torch then pass it onto someone else
5. Track all posts made to your torch, see where its been and whose path its crossed.

What's been happening at Lighthouse Games Studio

2011-03-31T05:08:00.000-07:00

This week we submitted the following games:
- Monster Talk (Xbox)
- Monster Talk (Windows Phone 7)
- Prank Call (Xbox)

With Monster Talk for the phone we had initially converted the game directly from Xbox to Phone. But after playing the game the landscape mode on the phone just didn't suite the type of game it was. So we re-worked the graphics and rebuilt the game from scratch to better suite the phone.

Here is a few screenshots from the new version:

Monster Talk for Windows Phone 7

2011-03-07T11:57:00.000-08:00

Spent today converting Monster Talk to Windows Phone 7, pretty much completed it, just need to tweak and add a few graphics to make it more phone friendly. Should be able to wrap it up tomorrow and submit it to the marketplace this week. I don't have a WP7 (Windows Phone 7) so can't test it yet, will try get one tomorrow to make sure the game runs properly on the phone.

Monster Talk

2011-03-05T12:28:00.000-08:00

A look back at 2010

2011-02-08T08:38:00.000-08:00

Taking a look back at what we accomplished in 2010.

First here is the list of games we released on Xbox 360 over the course of the year:

This brings our total portfolio of released titles to nine.

Avatar Onslaught achieved over 50 000 sales since it's launch, it also achieved 8th fastest selling XBox Indie game for it's opening week release for 2010. Tiny Tim's Tremendous Tank was also our first game to be released on PC, it's still available from here for free.

Other milestones we hit over the course of last year:

700 000 downloads
100 000 games purchased

Unfortunately in October we were both involved in a head on collision car accident on the freeway, so we had to cancel the sequel to myChristmas which we were busy working on at the time due to injuries. Fortunately we are both ok now and back at work on a great new title and hoping to make 2011 an even better year.

2010-11-23T10:43:00.000-08:00

Updated Dashboard Sales Stats

2010-11-18T07:56:00.000-08:00

Below is the percentage of what our games were getting compared to Octobers daily sales & downloads. We only comparing games that have been out more than 2 months and were not featured in any way in October.

So in November Fireplace had 56.44% (almost half) of the daily sales it used to get in October and only 38.51% (just over a 1/3rd) of what it used to get in Downloads per day.

So anything close to 100% or more would be ideal. (Red is bad, green is good)

The only game that did better was Super Tricky, and this is probably because when it was originally released the dashboard was "stuck" and it was quickly buried on the New Arrival list.
So I assume now that it was in the Top 50 list for Sports games it's managed to sell and get more downloads than before.

I'll keep updating this doc daily until the end of the month.
