]]> 18 Sep 2007 02:20:15 Fringespace This project is designed to duplicate, as closely as possible, the "feel" of Tachyon: The Fringe, to the Freespace 2 game engine.

Tachyon was always plagued by bugs, hacking, and a lack of updates. This mod is an attempt to rectify most of the egregious problems, and to update the playing experience for Tachyon fans.

As the project gains momentum, we'll be putting more information up, and sharing our progress with you.

]]> 22 May 2007 10:54:23 Hostile Engagement The year is now 2024. Over the past three decades, small groups of drug runners joined forces to take control of virtually all drug distribution in the United States. This new organization, the Cartel, was formed to create a political body for the drug runners. By 2018, they were responsible for 98% of the drugs on the market. Drug usage rates among the general populus were at an all time high. To combat this, Congress passed a bill creating stricter punishments for drug possession, use, trafficking, and sale. Losing profits, the Cartel was desperate to retain their lifestyle. They began recruiting a militia, using drugs to pay their soldiers. Bases sprang up in urban areas, such as New York City and Los Angeles. As they continued to grow in number, rioting broke out nationwide. In response, Congress enacted another law creating a new branch of the ATF, OCAT. OCAT (short for Organized Crime Assault Team) used discarded soldiers are specialized in infiltrating and assaulting these gang army units.

You play as either four survivors that try to go from Point A to Point B, or you have the choice to play as one of the many zombie bosses. Now you may think this will get repetitive in time, but that's not true. The gameplay is different every time you play. Now this game heavily depends on teamwork, if you stroll along by yourself, your going to most certainly die. Weapon choice is simple, you can use MP5's to Uzis. The story is that the in a city have been infected with a sort of rabies that have turned them into zombies. These zombies aren't slow, they're fast and have the ability to climb fences. Oh, I forgot friendly fire is always on, so don't be trigger happy, and also don't jump right in front of your teammates expecting you won't get hurt, because you will. Why is friendly fire always on? The fact is, it makes the game more challenging. If there was no friendly fire, the game would too easy and would be a breeze to finish.

]]> 03 Mar 2007 03:43:49 True Combat: Elite What Is TrueCombat:Elite?
TC:E is a modern world total conversion modification of the free, popular, stand-alone first-person shooter Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. That is, TC:E is an entirely free game, made by gamers, for gamers.

TC:E is currently being developed by GrooveSix Studios and TeamTerminator. While TeamTerminator is known for the famous Q3 based TrueCombat series, GrooveSix Studios was initiated by retired TeamTerminator co-founder Coroner to develop a Return to Castle Wolfenstein modification that is not released. Thus, as very experienced Q3-based content creators, we hope to be able to serve the gaming community with a quality offering.
Now, the most important question: "What can you expect from TC:E?" TC:E is a tactical-team shooter, set up in a modern-world environment. TC:E puts you into the role of elite mercenary soldier in the conflicts of two internationally operating forces.


SpecOps vs. Terrors
The Global Intervention Force (GIF626) is a special force formed of the top of the world experts joining from US Delta force, UK SAS, German KSK and GSG9, to mention a few. An international mercenary organization known as "The Unit" is their opponent. It is reported that some of these dudes are were once with the above forces, but the lure of money is strong. You say "Yet another terror counter-terrorism shooter. Why the hell should I go for it?". We say "Cause you don't have to spend a cent and it features:"

    ]]>     06 Dec 2006 10:38:07     Shattered Earth Welcome to the Shattered Universe. A universe on the verge of collapse and utter chaos. Throughout the unfolding saga of the Shattered Series expect to meet interesting characters and strange creatures. Expect to experience the freedom to roam and interact in an enormous world on foot or by vehicle. Expect the ability to complete objectives and missions any way you choose. With Shattered Earth expect to find a new level of playability and eventually re-playability. As, you take to the streets and under-cities of the world of the Terran in multi-player. Ultimately, we hope, you will find the game play refreshing as you experience co-operative multi-player with the added un-sureties of elemental psionics. Shattered Earth will not be your typical "run and gun" fps, expect to be surprised.
    ]]>     28 Nov 2006 03:30:27     Vespers3D Vespers3D is Orange River Studio's first experiment into a new genre of computer gaming, 3D Interactive Fiction (3D/if). It is adapted from the text-based interactive fiction game Vespers, by Jason Devlin.

    Vespers, the text IF game, won numerous awards in recent interactive fiction competitions, including first place at the 2005 IFComp and "Best Game" and "Best Writing" (among others) at the 2006 XYZZY awards. Now Jason has joined Orange River Studio in our attempt to bring Vespers to life in 3D, while maintaining the richness of the original text version.

    You can play the online Java version of Vespers here.
    ]]>     21 Nov 2006 08:02:13     BattleTech Simulator I am building a 3D Real-Time Simulator for the BattleTech/MechWarrior Universe. The rules will follow the role-playing rules and only vary in the conversion from a turn-based system to a real-time system. All conversions will be justified and will result in similar, if not identical behavior, if viewed in a turn-based time frame.

    Physics, scale, and interactions will be of highest importance, followed by accurate input/output (i.e external hardware, see MechWarrior Combat Simulator Cockpit for more explanation), and with visual impressiveness being of lowest importance (i.e. I'm not starting out with beautiful models that don't interact with their environment correctly). Network multi-player is not a priority.

    The initial project will cover the technology of 2550. It will start in the year 2550 and span to current time of 3070's. Since a game that size would be imposible to create in one shot, it will start with the range 2550 to 3025, a decline in technology. Each faction will be a separate add-on as will steps in time (3025-3050, 3050-3055, etc.). Clan will be an option, but only through participation in the Exodus.

    The primary focus is a single-player game, multi-player is a separate function with the possibility of tying the two together with Solaris VII. The game will be comprised of a multi-generational character (obvious given the time frame). The game will be a collection of campaigns, divided into battles. Progress through the game will present options to the user allowing them to shape their destiny. All element of the game can be either scripted (pre-determined), randomly generated, or a combination of the two.
