The Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts visited us in the office yesterday. Our teams have been hard at work on a number of big upcoming projects (still secret, sorry!), but we managed to hide away our Nerf guns long enough to make a respectable impression on everyone who came in to visit yesterday. We were thrilled to meet Tim Murray.

Here’s an article about it! It went online yesterday mere hours after newscrews were wandering around the offices; we were all impressed by the speedy turn-around:

Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray visits Hitpoint video game studio in Hatfield

He wasn’t exactly all thumbs, but when you’re the lieutenant governor you don’t have a lot of spare time to practice gaming skills on your iPhone. Timothy Murray caught on fast, however, and was soon snatching words out of space in a game appropriately titled “Words in Space.”

And here’s another article with a VIDEO! We’re on the news, ma!:

Hatfield Video Game Company Thriving

There are some hidden gems here in western Massachusetts.

One of them is a growing company in the video game business.

HitPoint Studios is the largest independent game studio in Massachusetts.

Funny how many of us are placidly typing away at our keyboards. Thanks to the Lt. Governor for stopping by! We’re excited to lead the charge for video game companies here in the Pioneer Valley. More updates soon: we’ve got two indie projects close to launch, and two large projects that we’re excited to announce. One of those large projects is close to going live and it looks great.
