Yeeeaaaahh!! Bleed 2’s Endless Mode is now out on PC, Xbox One and PS4! The perfect little cherry on top of the new Endless Mode is that (on PC, at least) it comes with daily challenges, too! This feature was put in very last-minute, in literally the final week of development. I had no idea […]
First off, awesome news: Bleed 2 is headed to PS4 and Xbox One on Feb 6 and 9, respectively!! Finally!! That’s basically the one-year anniversary of Bleed 2 on Steam, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the milestone. As always, the port and publishing are all thanks to Digerati Distribution and […]
It’s finally time to talk about the baddies and hazards you’ll face in Bleed 2’s Endless Mode — yay! First, some broad information: An Endless Mode “run” is five levels long. To differentiate those levels and lend a sense of progression to each run, every level is tagged as a different “environment”, changing the chunks […]
Now we’re on to the REALLY exciting stuff — the camera!! Seriously, I don’t know how this will read from a player’s perspective, but from the development side this was a tricky puzzle, and REALLY important to solve. The camera in Bleed 2’s Story Mode is meticulously controlled — maximizing screen space, showing the way […]
Hello again! Last week we talked about the basics of Bleed 2’s Endless Mode, and this week I’d like to start going a little deeper. One of the first challenges I ran into was how to make the randomly-generated levels feel varied and interesting, and I tried to solve this in a variety of ways. […]

Whew! NOW it’s done! Bleed 2 is out. What a trip. It’s got some very kind coverage from places like Hardcore Gamer, Destructoid and Attack of the Fanboy, and overall I’m really happy and relieved at how it’s been received! The launch certainly went better than the original’s (when I accidentally shipped an .exe that […]
…wow. I did it! Well, almost — Bleed 2 is out in three days, on Feb 8. I’m stressed, I’m excited, I’m really proud! I discovered a 2.5 year-old version of the game, so please enjoy some comparison shots as I pat myself on the back for all my hard work! Four years ago, when […]
With a week and a half left, things are getting tight! Bleed 2 is looking good, but I’m still cramming to make sure everything is as polished as it can be. A ton has happened this week so there’s tons to talk about: first, the Clawed Girl! Yes! The Clawed Girl from They Bleed Pixels […]
This week I was invited on the Escapist Magazine Twitch stream to talk about Bleed 1 and 2! John Markley played through the original, and a demo of the sequel. Here’s the link if you want to check it out, it was a whole bunch of fun! Anyways — two and a half weeks until […]
