It’s a cliché to say 2012 is going to be a big year, but it really is. We have a dedicated Serious Gaming website under construction and a lot of projects are going to be released next year including some very anticipated ones.

I would like to thank everyone who visits the site, follows us and supports the company and its projects. We get a lot of feedback (especially on Creatures ) and we can assure you it’s all taken on board whether good or bad. If you’ve clicked a link, sent an email, made a comment, followed us on Twitter or Facebook or even said a kind word, you’re helping us to get better at this.

So in the name of Fishing Cactus’ team (and a little bit late), Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

C’est près de 10 minutes de séquence vidéo pour une journée complète de tournage dans nos locaux. D’autres sociétés sont bien entendues mise en avant, l’autre studio emblématique en Belgique, Larian Studios et les classiques Ubisoft ou Insomniac. Si vous ne connaissez rien au monde du jeu vidéo, cette émission vous permettra de découvrir ce qui se passe derrière le miroir et a été très bien réalisée.

We know we already have tons of people asking for this game with great expectations/ideas/features and we are reading all those comments very carefully. The demo is still very early (several months from release) and there is still a lot to be done and we hope you guys will find it exciting. Just keep in mind that this is just a glimpse of what we are going to bring.

However Fishing Cactus team is working like crazy to make this possible and start building the excitment (two guys are just leaving as I write this blog post after an all nite long crunch).

Also last but not least, enjoy one of the first screenshot of Creatures 4 as well as the revamped Norn. We truly hope you’ll like them as much as we do!

The good news is that Fishing Cactus has been selected to help you with your advergaming and ARG (Alternate Reality Games) ideas and solutions.

Because we know it could be a little difficult to get started, we are there to help you define your need and brainstorm on potential campaign ideas.

The deadline for the submission of the project is set at the end of August and time is running fast, so contact us to increase you chances of being selected and promote your movie with the latest tech available!

As you may all know, video games are an international thing, the world is getting smaller, yes yes yes we know that!
Well it seems like our Belgian company is crossing the borders and getting some visibility to the east, as proves this article

Chinese tonight anyone?

It will be the occasion to share our experience on the project, talk about our relationship with the therapists and the Microsoft Innovation Center, and why not, find investors to support the rest of the project!

We’ve delighted to announce that we were selected with 5 other agencies in Inside Digital Media Magazine, March 2011 Edition, page 34

The article talks about the 6 “Third generation” web agencies that are reshaping the face of the Web and that are quickly evolving towards a new communication experience.

We are also Number 72 in the TOP 100 of Digital agencies in Belgium ( In terms of Turnover)

Yep, that’s us, and if you weren’t convinced before, how about you listened to the experts

The price given (money, money, money) will be used to buy some decoration, promotion, furnitures and organize a team event in 2011. Probably a paintball session plus a restaurant. Time to pull out your guns guys, this is probably your only chance to shoot the bosses’ asses.

We already had a lot of comments on the trailer and press (Kotaku, Joystiq just to name the fews) and some people are really waiting for the game to be released, quite exciting!
