]]> 29 Jul 2007 12:59:10 Armada Online
Armada Online (AO for short) is an Online-Only, space-based RPG set in a pseudo 3/4 isometric perspective. In AO you will take part in a vast universe, taking a role as a starship captain, honing your character's skills and amassing great wealth as well as building up your ship into a great powerful vehicle. There are a multitude of different Main Guns, Secondary Systems, lots of enemies, and two different factions to play for: Nomad Empire or the United Systems. You will also be interacting with NPCs, other players and Trading outposts as well as taking part in a series of instanced scenario campaigns to further increase your overall strength and destroy Armada invaders, as well as eliminating the opposing faction.

Armada Online is in Open Alpha status. This means that while a majority of game play components (ships, movements, skills, advancement, etc.) is in place - most of the game content is still under development. Even so - Armada Online's alpha game is incredible and complex. There will be plenty for any new player to learn and enjoy and new content is being added continuously. Because it is in alpha status, be patient with any glitches and actively report them and your feedback to the official Armada Online forums to help improve the game for all. That's what open Alpha tests are for.

    ]]>     30 Apr 2007 04:48:49     L.A.2 L.A.2 is Kenta Cho's first flash game, an action game based around the theme of Conway's Game of Life.

    Like all of Cho's recent games, it's an abstract shooter. You control your ship with the arrow keys, and have to avoid any blue and green squares coming at you. To defend yourself you can release so called gliders by pressing and holding the Z key. Any green squares that are touched by the brown glider will become brown as well (and any they touch will become brown and so on). When you release the Z key, all brown squares explode. The more brown squares there are, the more points you get.

    To understand the behaviour of the groups squares, and how they move, a passing knowledge of Conway's Game of Life, and its rules might be helpful.

    This game was created with Torque v1.5.
    ]]>     07 Mar 2007 01:33:16     Tank Brigade Well, after quite a bit of work on JumpStart and one of its demos Tank Brigade I have decided to release the demo as a full working game. Basically its a single level game built around JumpStart. The Map to play on is randomly selected from a set list (currently 4 maps) and play exists of you trying to destroy all of the enemies on the screen. Some maps are generated procedurely and some are hard coded.

    In the relased version sound is supported (turned off by default, turn it on in the options screen). I'll warn you now that the sound can get a bit annoing. Luckily you can press escape, go to options, turn it off, back, and resume game.

    Graphics are completely from SpriteLib GPL. If anyone wants to take the time to create real graphics for the game I'd be happy to add them in and add on a credits screen.

    ]]>     28 Feb 2007 10:18:39     Cloak, Dagger and DNA Cloak, Dagger and DNA is if not the first then at least one of the first games ever to use make use of genetic algorithms. Each player (human or computer) controls an army which can be split up into smaller units and has to try to conquer the playing field and its resource-generating factories in a Risk-style manner of play.

    Cloak, Dagger and DNA was developed by Oidian Systems and was planned to be part of a family of games around the theme of genetic algorithms, unfortunately interest was lacking and Oidian went out of business. Since then Don O'Brien (designer of the game) has released it as freeware.

    In the beginning of the 22nd century alien invaders attacked the earth, but they were not as we imagined. The most effective way of defense was by using sonic pulses. Defensive turrets were placed on the surface of the earth to counter their attack.

    The people had always gathered on moonless nights to hear the stories, since the time of their ancestors' ancestors. The heat of the fire and the glow in the storyteller's eyes made the past present, and the path to the future clear. The power in the telling was immense, subtle, divine. What man would dare subvert it?

    Gameplay is very similar to Pong, but the ability to add a spin to the ball means an extra level of strategy is added. The ball can be spun to an extreme degree so far that you risk spinning it into your own goal.
    ]]>     10 Feb 2007 06:38:08     Future Snooker Future Snooker is a futuristic sports game. Played on a circular table players score points by firing a glassy cue-ball into a pack of ball to knock them off the table and score points.

    The sequel to Future Pool, Future Snooker is a more tactical game that requires more thought and skill. Use the optional aiming guide to hit a ball off the table to 'pot' it but make sure you hit the right ball or you'll end your turn. As in real snooker, take care to place the cue-ball in the best place for your next shot.

    Play with one to six players or against the computer in a solo game, single match, or six player tournament. The rules are similar to conventional snooker and an in-game tutorial is provided.
    ]]>     09 Feb 2007 06:42:00     DUOtris DUOtris is a take on Tetris (GB). Instead of blocks coming from the top, and fall down, blocks come from both top and bottom, and gravitate towards the middle.

    The aim of the game is to get the highest score possible. Points are scored by moving the falling blocks on both sides of the play area so as to arrange 3 or more blocks of the same colour together. These blocks will then disappear causing any blocks "above" them to fall and possibly create further combinations. The game ends when either stack of blocks crosses the game over line. Over time the speed of the blocks increases, more colours are introduced and the play area becomes narrower.

    There are two different game modes: Classic where there are just blocks falling, and Arcade where you get powerups and special blocks.
    ]]>     09 Feb 2007 06:11:41     Shellcore Shellcore Beta


    Shellcore is a simple tank game made in Torque Game Builder. You control the tank with "w", "a", "s" and "d" and fire shells with the left mouse button. The right mouse button fires the machine gun which is good for destroying RPGs before they hit your tank.

    The point of the game is to get the highscore. Challenge your friends and enemies to beat your score. If they are unable, point and laugh at them.

    I made Shellcore in order to get acquainted with the new Torque Game Builder. It is currently in beta stages.

    Just have a little fun with the game . . . I also appreciate suggestions.


    ---The Esteemed Creator of Shellcore

    ]]>     08 Feb 2007 01:32:43     Solid Balance The objective of Solid Balance is to build a tower (preferably very high) with the given elements. Since the tower and every element obey the laws of physics, the player has to pay attention to balance the tower and to carefully position every element.

    During the game more and more elements with increasingly complicated shapes have to be stacked on top of each other. In doing so, the time available to place an element decreases with every level. The faster an element is placed, the more points the player gets. If an element falls upon the floor, the level is lost and the player has to begin again.

    When the rule "no equal colors" is switched on the level is also lost if two elements of the same color touch each other. The higher the tower at the end of a level is, the greater the altitude bonus which the player gets is. The highest points are awarded to those players, who build the highest towers as fast as possible while obeying the rules.

    Toy Robo is an Action-Adventure Shooter that requires quick hands and engaging strategy. You play as Toy Robo, a robot action figure on the side of good. Your goal is to rid the world of evil toys which appear only at night. You will do this in Arena style combat using your Blaster and Energy sword. To help you along your way, you can equip several types of batteries, each with different combat effects and
    bonuses.

    This game was developed as an entry to the gamedev.net 4e4 contest which required that it encorporate at least 2 of the following four elements (elements of which ALL games are apparently made of): pirates, ninjas, robots and zombies.

    I opted for robots and zombies because robots are easy to model and zombies are easy to animate ^_^

    The contest had a 6 month time limit, so I wanted to make sure I didn't bite off more then I could chew. In the end I came in 2nd out of at least 20 - the 1st place finisher was developed by 5 people! so even though I didn't win I felt like the game did very well and the process was rewarding.

    Belowe are a few screen shots and the game download.
    ]]>     23 Jan 2007 10:40:46     Worms: Armageddon Team warfare on a worm scale

    Description:
    Worms: Armageddon is a turn based strategy game in a 2d environment. There is a single player campaign, and training missions to complete; but the main attraction is playing against other people locally or over the internet. Games can be played with 2 or more people. The graphics and sound are very cartoonish, and entertaining.

    Gameplay:
    Each player starts with a number of worms on their team. Each worm has a fixed amount of health. If a worm runs out of health, it will die. Once you run out of worms, you lose the match. The game is turn based, so each team gets control of one worm during their turn. You have a limited amount of time to select one of many weapons and inflict damage on another teams worm. There are also other more subtle tools to choose from for more strategic play, such as terrain digging tools, girder construction, and ropes and other means to get around the map. Weapons vary from the ordinary guns and explosives, to odd things like exploding sheep, mad cows, and homing pigeons.

    There are several other popular gameplay types, with specific rules for play.

    Finding online games is easy when you log onto WormNet. It's an irc-like chat interface where you can host or join games.
