In this iteration, Eitan Glinert talks about starting from scratch, what made them think about putting the game on Wii, and helping on a little game we now know as Dance Central:
"After making the robot prototype we felt it was time to work on what we hoped would become the actual game. We decided to switch to flash so that we could release on PC if necessary (i.e. if we couldn’t get a deal to release on the PS3/360/Wii), and we started from scratch with all new assets so that we owned everything."

Cat writes, "After months of planning in my über secret lair, I'm more than a little excited to share that this July we will host our first ever Indie Games Month at N4G! A month-long celebration of indie developers and games, we’re giving indies main page N4G time with demos, trailers, previews, interviews, guest blogs and giveaways."
Slam Bolt Scrappers is a strange game. Strange in an interesting way. The basic premise is that you have a building area and your opponent has a building area. You then fight over crates which can be dropped in your own building area in a sort of psuedo-tetris way. When these crates are arranged into square shapes they form turrets that shoot at the other player’s turrets. Oh! And there’s different coloured crates for different types of turrets. Also there’s ninjas and giant robots. Got all that? Good.
Gamesta.com has yet another round of PC deals for frugal gamers. The latest comes from Groupees and their Be Mine 8 Bundle promotion that packs a ton of games for a low price. Just a buck will get you 4 games already, like the recently released Slam Bolt Scrappers. With $5 or more, you'll get Blood Bowl and more as well.
Eitan stopped by N4G last week ( http://n4g.com/news/723562/... ) and partly in response to the discussion here decided to create this series.
This is the third, the first is http://n4g.com/news/727070/... and the second http://n4g.com/news/727944/...

Awesome, keep up the good work guys.
Cool video. You should add 360 into the tags though.
