H2Overdrive GONE GOLD

It's finally done...our baby is ready to go forth into the arcades. We have delivered the final build and production cabinets will start rolling off the assembly line very soon. Keep an eye out and when you find one be sure and let us know what you think.

 H2Overdrive OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED

So yeah, ok, it's been a year since we have posted any news. We've been really busy. Busy working on H2Overdrive. Below is a picture of 4 linked prototypes on the ATEI show floor in London just a fortnight ago. Check out the games section for more details and media.

 NEW PROGRAMMER POSITION

We're looking for a talented programmer to join our team and help create what will soon become one of the most highly anticipated arcade games in years. This is a next-gen arcade game that'll be as much fun to play as it was to develop. If you're interested and have the chops, visit our jobs page to learn more about the position.

ON LOCATION


The eagle has landed! Specular has taken possession of its new facility in beautiful Irvine, California, located at the intersection of High Tech & Fun! 

Cheesy slogans not withstanding, our new location is a five-minute drive from all sorts of shopping, restaurants, movie theatres, gyms, and is very easily accessible, near where the 5 meets the 133. 

To go with our new digs, we’ve also bought all brand new equipment, including two gorgeous 24” widescreen monitors for every developer. Several artists have been seen hugging these displays and attempting to hand-feed them strawberries. An investigation is currently underway.

MYSTERY GAME


We have big news – we just signed our first arcade game development deal with Raw Thrills, an arcade developer and publisher founded by Eugene Jarvis! Eugene’s a legend in the arcade industry, having developed classic hits such as Defender, Robotron: 2084, Smash TV, and the Cruis’n series of arcade racers.

Our game hasn’t been announced yet so we can’t say much right now (big surprise, right?), but we can tell you that we’re super thrilled to be working on a game of this caliber! Keep checking our Games page for more info.

3-2-1 GO! GO! GO!


Wow, we made it! We’re finally here with our first post ever! Who are we? We’re the team at Specular Interactive, a newly formed independent game development studio with a pretty cool twist. We roll a little differently here at Specular because unlike pretty much the rest of the world, we’ve chosen to develop arcade games. That’s right, the big arcade games that you drop coins in to play.

Choosing to develop arcade games wasn’t arbitrary. Quite a few of the developers here at Specular have worked on arcade games before – pretty successful ones like Hydro Thunder™ and Off Road Thunder™. Turns out we’re pretty good at it, which is why we formed Specular.

Have a look around our website to learn more about Specular, our open job positions, and our talented team. We’ll post more soon, so check back.
