Say, do you know what a Challenge Draw is? It's a weekly event where we challenge the Runner2 Miiverse community with drawing cool images based on a specific theme or premise. Our latest Challenge Draw -- which we kicked off yesterday morning -- tasked artists with drawing a picture of CommanderVideo on one of his days off. After much internal debate and indecision, we finally managed to pick a winner:

Congratulations, dakudosea!

If you're bummed you didn't win, worry not! As mentioned above, we'll be holding a new Challenge Draw every week -- they'll begin on Wednesday mornings at 10 AM PST, and end 24 hours later. We'll kick off each event by making a post in the Runner2 Miiverse community, and all you have to do to enter is leave your drawing as a comment to that post. There are no prizes (beyond bragging rights and a post on this here blog), but we like to think the fun you'll have while drawing the image is a prize in and of itself.

LOVERS!!!

I was just slouthing through my email history, looking for the first time we mentioned Runner2. Seeing as email is a roadmap to our lives, this should be a fun trek in to the past... 

"Runner 2 for XBLA, PS3 and PC/MAC with a 5 month dev cycle. After that, we will be moving on to laserlife with about a 9 month development."

WHAAAA! Did we ever under estimate what we were going to do with Runner2! We think, we are not sure, but we think, Runner2 could have been made in that time.

However, 16 months later a team of 9 people ended up giving us a game that has not been rushed or compromised, but has simply been crafted for it's only purpose. Fun.

This week Runner 2 will be released on most consoles and platforms. Enjoy the official game trailer:
