]]> 21 Nov 2006 05:49:33 Fractured Universe Ages ago, the universes were all connected through fantastic portals created, some say, by the gods themselves. These portals were used by royalty, travelers, merchants, peasants... anyone that had need to travel from one world to another could use them.

Whomever, whatever, however they were created was lost through the ages. Everyone believed that since the portals had existed since the beginning of time then they would last until the end of time. But then things changed.

Nobody knows exactly what happened. The disappearance of the portals are as much a mystery as their origins. The portals didn't all disappear at once. No, as my great-great grandfather tells it, it took about a year until the last known portal from this world to another was gone. The year was called the Year of Chaos.

Today, everything changed...

]]> 22 Nov 2006 04:08:41 Project: Twilight Blades Project Twilight Blades is an RPG, yes. But it will play a lot differently than most others out there. For instance, instead of a typical turn-based system, this will be an active time battle system. Also, much like an MMO, there are no random battles, you approach what you want to fight, or find a way to avoid it. The difference is that most of the game will be local, but the main cities will be online. This will allow you to trade and communicate with other players while in town. There will also be options to communicate with others in field, more on that will be released at a later time. Keep an eye out for more information as it is released!

    ]]>     10 Jan 2007 08:30:50     Yum-Yum This was an entry in the third 72 hour GDC, which means of course it was made in under 72 hours (about 10, to be exact).

    The goal is simple - catch the plumbers as they fall from the pipes (remind you of anything?) by holding UP as they hit the giant plant's head. Catch a set amount before they break your pot to continue on.

    The game was made as a retro-themed title, imitating the classic, badly-translated, super-odd Japanese games.

    The game is still under construction, and after the upcoming Hedonism Games title is completed, it will be updated, as well - numerous problems exist in the game, primarily the lack of sound, lack of variety, the fact the enemies are still visible when they run off the screen and the inability to move while eating plumbers. The other big update will be commenting the code better! As it was made in so few hours, it's rather unclean code...

    Note: Open Source Game

    This game is open source: if you want to change or edit this game in any way, or even keep it the same, then reuse it anywhere, go right ahead! Acknowledgement would be wonderful, but is not necessary; at the very least, I'd be honored if you just let me know it helps in some way!
    ]]>     23 Jan 2007 06:17:58     Candy Catastrophe! Oh no! Leftover Halloween candy has gone bad, and it's up to you to clean up the mess.

    History

    This game was put on Newgrounds way back on 11/29/2005, and has broken the 75,000 view mark. This game is also open source; scroll down to see the notice, and scroll further to download the .fla file!

    Gameplay

    To play, click once on any colored candy with at least one of the same color adjacent. All similarly-colored candies will be highlighted, and text will tell you how many points it'd be worth to collect them. Keep above the minimum score to continue; how long can YOU last?

    Cheats

    Type c-h-e-a-t while playing and you'll hear "watch this!". Once cheats are enabled, press 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 to destroy all of the corresponding color (while racking up bunches of points!), or type "s-c-o-r-e" to get the equivalent of 10 candies at once (point value varies by level).

    Hints


    • If you just randomly collect candy, you'll probably make it to level 5 or 6, but if you want any hope of passing further, you need to bunch multiple candies together - you'll get double the points for 4 at once than for 2 twice.
    • It's also important to get those bonuses! In Candy Catastrophe, you'll get a bonus for each candy that has over 90% collected. Here too, it's better to get one 96% than a few 91%s.
    • Save vertical candies for later unless taking them helps make a better match - sometimes you'll be able to get rid of a column on either side and can use them then.

    ]]>     25 Jan 2007 02:53:30     The Tomb of King Fluffignuger The Tomb of King Fluffignuger is the first Hedonism Games project ever created (about 2 or 3 years ago?). The game is a basic mad-lib clone, but involves the nifty "Randomizer" that allows the user to click for easy word placement.

    The game also uses much more specific words than "noun" or "verb", such as "name a state" or "a goofy action - present tense".

    The game is still under construction, and is simply a test: in time (a long time, unfortunately), there will be a free editor to make your own stories, including swapping backgrounds and inputting your own words for the randomizer!

    ]]>     05 Feb 2007 11:36:27     Spring Spring (formerly known as TA Spring or Total Annihilation: Spring), is a full 3D open source RTS engine originally created by the Swedish Yankspankers, intended to bring the gameplay experience of Total Annihilation into three dimensions. The core game engine is released under the GPL License; however, the prepackaged mod that comes with the standard installation requires that one own a copy of TA to legally play it. There is, however, an official release which uses fully free content, and there are a number of mods, both in development and released, that are also completely free to use.

    Spring is being developed by the Swedish Yankspankers and the Spring community. The initial goal was to have the game run the mods and 3rd party units from Total Annihilation. This goal is now mostly complete, and the project has moved on to including additional features. The game is mainly focused around multiplayer games over the Internet or a LAN connection. There are currently no single player campaigns or missions, although there is some basic support for this through Lua scripting. There are also many skirmish AIs under development, allowing for offline play or extra players in an online game. Two skirmish AIs ship in the game package.
