GTA : Hot Coffee Backlash Joe here - ouch, people. I don't usually bring this sort of thing up, but in the last three days, the HP Mailbox has been flooded with both hurrahs and boos from happy/angry GTA fans regarding a copy of a Private E-Mail I wrote to Patrick Wildenborg, creator of the Hot Coffee Mod for GTA : San Andreas. How it leaked out onto the internet, I'll never know. I can only assume that Patrick didn't take too kindly to my e-mail, which blasted him pretty badly about exposing this content to the public and decided to let them get in on the fun. Either way, to remedy this little public oops, I've issued a statement of apology to everyone. I definately got more hate mail then mail from people agreeing with me, but regardless of whether you agree or don't, I'm sorry I even acted in such a manner and that you got to see it. I'll be sure to be a little more careful in the future. Statement of Apology ------ July 8th, 2005, 3:38 P.M. JetPack Justice EX Back in Action Joe here - You read correctly. After a thirteen month hiatus, JetPack Justice EX is back in production. With the entire story penned and the final version of the engine completed , there's nothing left now but to produce the final product. However , it's not as if this will happen by magic. It's going to take a lot of hard work , but it's going to rock hardcore when I'm done with it. Some of our more astute fans may know this information, because it broke exclusively over at the Daily Click on June 4th last month. The information held in that article has since then been transferred over to the brand new JetPack Justice EX Website. From now on, all information pertaining to that game will be posted there. Well , what are you waiting for ?! RUN AND LOOK ! ;) Until next time, take it easy guys. The link to the JPJEX website is available at the link above or on the JPJEX area in the Games page. ------ June 2nd, 2005, 4:23 A.M. Plans in Motion Hey, Joe here. Let me begin by saying I am sorry for the lack of updates in the last, oh, seven months. I know that's a long time, but there's good reason for why we haven't done anything. I'm currently, as you know, down in sunny Florida at FullSail, getting my degree so I can get a job in the gaming industry and get HyperActive out there as a professional company. However, since I've decided to not take the Game Design degree, I've switched to Digital Media, a degree that can easily be applied to the game industry as I've seen from the course criteria. I will be recieving certificates for the Game Design courses I've completed. I know enough of C++ and of the other technicalities that go into making a game, so that's not a problem for me. I'd rather concentrate on the .. well, DESIGN side of Game Design. Bryan's due down here in September to get his degree in Computer Animation. I've met a ton, TON of people that are possible future employees here at HyperActive. So much talent I'd love to work with. Until next time, take care. ------- November 17th, 2004 , 12:36 A.M. Project SEED Official Website Goes Live Hey, everybody. The totally awesome PROJECT SEED Official Site is up and running, finally. From now on, all updates to that game will be posted there, unless the update is major. The link for that site is available through the PROJECT SEED Game page. As far as projects go, Project Seed is moving smoothly, as the site will probably tell you. There is a gameplay change that is rather large, but it will not, I repeat, WILL NOT detract for the game at all. There is a second project, that if you have a keen eye, you've seen already. No official announcment will be made for quite some time, but when it does, hold on to your face, because it might get rocked a little. I know many of you are asking yourselves , 'Jesus, when are you guys gonna deliver all this magic ?' I know, we're notorious for delaying games. But no longer. Things are moving smoothly, and you're finally gonna be really seeing things from us. Prepare yourselves. ;) -------- August 15th, 2004 , 1:47 No, we're alive. Really. Hey, everybody - It's Joe, as usual. Bit of a change of plans - I'm not going to FullSail until January 25th, 2005. No big deal. I'll still be getting that degree and whatnot. Just need some time to relax first. Second off, we have .. er. Something in the works. And we're not telling you any more, so there. Will update soon with more. MINI UPDATE 8/19 - Check out the games page ; I put up an Old School Section. --------- July 1st, 2004 - 11:31 A.M. School comes to a close and life sets in Hey, everybody - It's Joe, as usual. An important chapter in my life has finally finished - I'm out of high school , and 18 years old on top of it. I'm set for Full Sail - my start date is September 23rd. If you're going there this year, drop me a line - I'd love to meet and talk to you . After all, if you're an aspiring game designer, you're in the same boat as me. The more of us there are, the better. Off that topic though, we're not working too much on games. We're trying to relax a bit. However, to completely contradict myself, some Project Seed work has been done. I've uploaded a music clip composed and performed by yours truly for one of the missions that will be in the game. Finally, if you haven't seen Spider-Man 2, go for it. It's amazing , to say the least. --------------- May 27th, 2004 - 8:33 A.M. Project SEED Page Updated ! Hey, everyone, Joe here. As promised , concept art is up on the Project SEED page. Why not take a glance at what's in store for you guys ? Soon to be posted is a music clip of a song that will make an appearance in the game , composed , written, and performed by me. I just sent some information to SoundTeMP , so maybe we'll have some music of theirs up here as well sometime in the future. That's all for now, folks. Enjoy ! ------------- May 24th, 2004 - 11:34 A.M. Proof Of Work ! Could it be ?! Hey, everyone, Joe here. Just dropping in to let you know we're working. I'm just wrapping up school FOR GOOD up here in NYC, and then it's off to FullSail in September. I figure that my game design degree and the knowledge I'll gain at the college will open the doors to tons of new tools with which to make better games for our fans. Another reason I am here is to let you know that SoundTEMP will be beginning musical production for Project SEED in early June, and concept art for the is being worked on right now. I will probably have that artwork up on the site in the next day or so. We're all pretty excited about how this one is coming out. I'll give more information when the time comes ! ---------------- April 8th, 2004 - 10:34 A.M. SoundTeMP to Rock Project SEED As Captain Olimar once said, 'Oh, GLORIOUS!' SoundTeMP , the Korean music composing company whose music has been heard most recently in the online RPG Ragnarok Online, will be composing and performing a couple tunes for our new 2D Action Platformer. Only SoundTeMP's dedicated music team and thier unique style are capable of bringing the edge that Project SEED needs. This is also a big event for both HyperActive Productions and SoundTeMP , because it will be thier first international endeavors. A special thanks goes out to SoundTeMP for their generousity ! ---------------- April 4th, 2004 - 2:58 P.M. New Game Page Posted ; Site Fixed up a little HEY FRIENDS. It's me again. As usual. Anyway, did some fixing up of little loose ends. Secret Project has been revealed as PROJECT SEED , a 2D action platformer that we're absolutely sure the masses will enjoy. I'll be putting up more information on that game and on the RPG soon enough. Also, a little thing I added to Pio's bio page is a sweet little animation that he did. Go take a look. ----------------- March 31st, 2004 - 5:41 P.M. New Game Pages Posted Hey, everyone , Joe here. In case you haven't been around for a while, this is our new site, and we humbly welcome you to it ! Also, if you missed out on our big press release, click here. Anyway, today is a good day, because I added two new game pages in the games section and a few links in the links section. I also added the archive page , since only one news post can be posted on the front page at a time. ------------------ March 27th, 2004 - 2:34 P.M. HyperActive Productions Signs distribution deal with Anarchy Enterprises On March 12, 2004 , Joe Laurino signed a deal with Anarchy Enterprises to distribute upcoming HyperActive Production games worldwide. Below is a message from Joe. Hey, guys. Joe here. Hope you like what I did with the site ! I figured that we should go back to a simple and clean format that people would be able to navigate without losing their eyes. And yes, that is right - soon you'll be seeing our lovely games for sale. This means, of course, a few changes are in order. + All non-commercial game products have been cancelled. + Games currently still in production are Jetpack Justice EX and an Untitled RPG that has Bryan at the helm , as well as a Secret Project by Pio. + Some staff members have left . Yes, we've had to say a tearful goodbye to our good friend Chris Sun and also to artist Jon Gonzalez. + We have , however, recieved a new staff member. Please welcome our new conceptual artist and animator Chris Sanabria ! |
