'Schizoid' (X360) to Use Parabuild Game Development Platform

Featuring addictively simple gameplay, in Schizoid one person plays ‘red’ and the other plays ‘blue’. Each player moves his ship around the level as a seemingly endless stream of enemies attack. Each player can burst enemies of their own color merely through contact, but each player can be bursted by enemies of the other color. Both players have to “step up” on every level to handle the enemies of their own color, so their partner is not destroyed.

"The determining factor for selecting Parabuild is its Continuous Integration functionality, whilst providing stable nightly builds," said Jamie Fristrom, Torpex Games' co-founder and technical director. "Introducing Parabuild has made our development environment more fun and productive. Integration builds provide us instant feedback on quality of changes to the game code and allow fixing build errors quickly."

In addition to Parabuild's affordable pricing, Torpex Games stated that Parabuild's tight integration with Subversion SCM enabled the company to quickly set up the build and release management infrastructure.
