Flux 1.04, and also, Woo! Die Hard!

Flux 1.04 is now available, so for those already using Flux, go ahead and do an update, for those not using Flux, why on earth not?! :-) Get on over to www.theescapers.com...

Watched Die Hard for about the 20th time last night, so again, for those already regularly watching Die Hard, do so once more, if you've never seen Die Hard, why on earth not?!

Finally, another shout out to those who continue to give us suggestions for improvements to Flux, we're getting those features in as quickly as we can, and getting releases ready for download soon after. We're trying to get most ideas implemented in a matter of days, not weeks or months. If we've not got your idea in yet, please be patient, they are all in the bug tracker waiting to get done. If you've got an idea but not told us yet, don't be shy, we really want to hear it!

So anyway...

I'm playing Tekken again on the PS3, and realise it's been over 24 hours since the last Flux release, so after a few more bug fixes, and implementation of a few ideas from our lovely, handsome/beautiful, charming and witty customers, we've now got version 1.03 out the door, you can download it from www.theescapers.com, or use the auto-update feature in Flux.

Seriously though, thanks to everyone that's suggested ideas and reported issues, it helps us out so much.

Back to more important matters though, anyone know how to save progress in Tekken? Everytime I load it, I'm starting from "Beginner", and it's not keeping my "7th kyu" or whatever.

1.0.2...

oops...

The obligatory 1.0.1 release

Time has passed, bugs have been found, pixels have been tweaked, and the time has come for the first update to Flux. You can update automagically from the 'Flux' menu, which will download it from the webanet.

Thanks to everyone who reported bugs and feature requests, we are working on them, I promise.

FIRST POST!!111!!

Only joking. Well, here I sit trying to write the first blog post for the new Escapers blog. Much as I'd love to tell you all about The Escapers, and our new Mac program Flux, I'd probably rather buy Tekken 5 off the Playstation Store, and play that instead. However, I'll get told off if I don't do this, so here goes...

I'll start off by saying a little something about The Escapers. We're based right in the middle of London, England. You know, the city that made that awful logo for the 2012 Olympics. We started The Escapers, principally to escape from our day jobs, and do what we actually want to do, which is write cool Mac software. We're hoping Flux is the first step in that direction, and I'll let you know how we get on in this blog.

At the moment Flux is in beta, and it's possible that when using you'll find bugs that would scare your mum, but rest assured that we're going to stamp them all out, and anyone that buys Flux while in beta, will get get free upgrades all the way to the point where that beta badge is removed, and probably beyond.

We've all been in the position where we've had to pay for upgrades rather more than feels natural, I know I have, so we'll make sure we don't fall into that trap.

But we're not just going to use this blog to talk about The Escapers and Flux, we'll probably also pay homage to the good people at Panic (although we won't mention Coda, not ever) and review tasty snacks from this side of the pond. We like to read about the crazy stuff you can buy in the U.S.A., so we'll take the opportunity to spread the word about the stuff you can find over here (feel the love).
