Instead of flying around, dealing with hoards of enemies, and the occasional boss, it's just you, and the boss. And every time you beat the boss, it comes back, meaner than the time before.

]]> 04 Dec 2006 11:33:56 In Ray-Hound you control a space ship in a circular arena where you have to survive for as long as possible and eliminate all turrets that keep shooting on you. Unfortunately you don't have a gun yourself, so instead you capture the shots the turrets fire at you and use their own shots againts the turrets

Ray-Hound is created by Hikoza Ohkubo, creator of Warning Forever.

It is very much unfinished. There is only one level and after you beat the boss it will go back to the title screen.

Axion is a 4 colour (greyscale) shoot'em up made for the Retro Remakes 4-colour TI calculator style competition.

Story

Thousands of years ago the Atlantians built a huge inter-dimensional portal with the intent of trapping a huge foe inside. The portal worked perfectly, but at the last minute the huge beast was able to pull their entire city in with it. Knowing the they were unable to save the city and that the beast would eventually be able to break free without anyone able to watch over it, they sent out their last hope, Axion.

Axion was a specially designed craft known as a "Dimension diver" which made it the only man-made creation that was able to seemlesly escape the pull of the triangular portal.

Thousands of years later after absorbing much of its surroundings including people, ships and planes, the beast was able to take control of its own prision, although it was still not quite powerful enough to escape entirely. Using all the energy it had absorbed over the many years, the beast took control of the portal and projected it into outer space using mankind's own orbiting satillites. The portal was now 50 times its original size, big enough to engulf the entire planet...and this was the plan. If the beast could absorb the entire planet, then it would have enough energy to break free from its Atlantian prision.

After detecting the huge power surge, Axion emerged out of the ocean and blasted off into outer space to stop the beast before it was too late.

]]> 13 Feb 2007 08:16:24 Sent out as a last resort for your planet, you head towards an unfriendly planet. Mercenaries are your only hope against the Aliens who have attacked your planet. Yet on your way back you find your planet destroyed. Did you wait too long, or is something fishy about the scene? Battle through the swarms of Aliens to find the secret to your lost planet, and prepare yourself for the last battle!

The idea was originally a spin off of the old classic Space Invaders. But finally grew to be a much larger project. The game was built over the process of a few years as a mere hobby. It was started when I first started programming, and ended when I had much more experience. Because of that there are some known bugs with the general core of the game that can't, reasonably, be ironed out.

There are a few fun twists to the game that make it fairly fun. There are 10 playable levels, but once the game is complete you can start over on a harder difficulty level. Of course the increase is nearly exponential… so good luck. As of yet nobody has beaten the game three times through, although a few have made it to the last level on the third time.

The level format is very simple, feel free to add your own levels. If you do so, please e-mail me a copy!

]]> 25 May 2007 07:35:30 Beyond the Red Line is a stand-alone total conversion for the award-winning Freespace 2 released by Volition and Interplay for the PC. It is based on the popular new tv-show Battlestar Galactica. No, not the one from the 70s.
The game is made by the fans, for the fans.

]]> 08 Jun 2007 02:05:54 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.
