]]> 27 Jun 2007 03:06:37 ToME (The Troubles/Tales of Middle Earth) is a rogue-like based on angband. It features several races, classes, spells, powers, monsters, artifacts, quests, etc. The list could go on and on.

Unlike vanilla angband, ToME has several cities based on a map fitting for J.R.R. Tolkien's works. There are several dungeons you can explore, their levels are randomly generated from their design to contents and quests, but not everything is random, there are special rooms, quests, unique artifacts and unique monsters players can hunt for.

ToME is also an unique rogue-like by the fact that it's not entirely level based, players can customise their characters by increasing skills which range from weaponmastery to necromancy and summoning, just to name a few.

Because it's constantly in development, ToME has a very active community and several MODs player can create and use.

]]> 26 Jun 2007 05:21:09 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.

]]> 19 Jun 2007 08:11:55 Very challenging and realistic multiplayer combat flight simulation focusing on lesser known fighters of the Mediterranean Theater, with particular emphasis on Italian aircraft, although RAF and luftwaffe types are well represented. Fantastic aircraft art and realistic flight models characterize the series. Would be pilots will be challenged by the detailed engine and systems management, which varies from type to type.

A Targetware Mod.

]]> 14 Jun 2007 02:16:50 Hollow Ground is a one or two-player tactical arcade game taking place in a post-apocalyptic future. Four mercenaries have to make an unwelcome journey to rid a war-weary world of a new threat of extinction, a terrible biomechanical weapon of mass destruction.
On the way you have to battle armies of mutated creatures while navigating through the labyrinthine tunnels of the Epsilon bunker. You will find weapons to aid your quest, and credit chips for use in the shops that appear between levels. The more than 60 maps appear in a somewhat random order to enhance re-playability. The blend of old-school arcade action and true focus on tactics is what sets this game apart from an ordinary shooter.

]]> 11 Jun 2007 07:36:11 What is Clan Arena?
Clan Arena is a science-fiction themed first person shooting game, set in a very distant future. Clan Arena will feature fast-paced action on a wide variety of battlefields. More info can be found here.

]]> 09 Jun 2007 10:19:24 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 WarScathed is a new FPS game being developed by Grizzly Productions. Its the year 2200, and World War IV has broken out. The Russian Revolution has started again. Japan, China and India are backing Russia in the attempt to control the entire of Europe. They already have control over Germany and the border onto France. It is up to a highly trained squad of European Commandoes to take back control of Germany and create peace in the world once again.

]]> 08 Jun 2007 12:19:16 A puzzle game inspired by both the 'Super Mario Brothers' and 'Adventures of Lolo' game series. The Grand Wizard Garland tracks down the evil sorcerer Nem to retrieve his stolen staff and repair his good name before he can return home.

Story:

Garland the 'Grand Wizard' was out in the woods walking about and decided to take a nap in a near-by meadow. Just as he started to fall asleep, a dark wizard named Nem attacked Garland and stole his Wizard's staff. The old wizard, now in shame could not return home without redeeming himself and getting his own staff back from the dark wizard's keep. So Garland's Quest begins...

]]> 06 Jun 2007 11:11:28 Harvest is a real-time strategy game currently in development by Oxeye Game Studio.

The basic idea of the game is that you must gather two kinds of resources - minerals and energy - and use them to construct defenses for your base. The base is attacked by endless numbers of aliens and you will have to try to survive for as long as possible.

]]> 04 Jun 2007 05:24:19 STORY:
In Under Gear, you take the role of one of the many original characters and fight your way through other characters until you fight the evil Saar, A young boy who is the bother to both the striving protagonist, Pilet and ville antagonist Sigma. Both's teams must settle their differences to fight off this new menace.

GAMEPLAY:
This game plays like the all-time favorites: Super Smash Bros Melee. Although it has original and darker characters based in a futuristic setting. One option thats being considered is a multi-player adventure that puts they player in a side-scrolling quest to complete their goals. This mode would be similar to the "arcade" mode, but would only be available to the an and pro tagonist and would be filled with more sub-enemies and tasks.

WTF ITS NOT OUT!?! ! WHY!!!!?:
This game is still under construction due to lack of team members and uncertainty within the crew. This game is completely drawn using mouses and wacom tablets and only includes an animating team of 3, which cannot be on duty at all times. Coding is going smoothly but has to wait on animation during some steps and slows the progress down. Not one character is complete at the moment so animators are needed badly. The game is being made under a zero dollar budget so paying people has to be done through profit. And some of us are considering open-sourcing th game so we may not even earn anything from this.

THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG, CAN I HELP YOU OUT?:
Actually yes. If you want to help complete this beast feel free to PM Joshua Leonard with your request. We could really use it anyhow.

]]> 02 Jun 2007 05:05:49 Civilizen is a browser-based game that is still under development. The game is playable, but may contain bugs.

In Civilizen, you create your own player, and with it, you are able to work as for example a miner or a woodcutter. You may also, when you earn enough money, build your own buildings so that other players can work for you.

Open beta available.

]]> 27 May 2007 02:52:06 Nearly Departed is a graphic adventure that puts you in control of a guy who has recently become a zombie. Having no idea how you became a zombie, you must explore the city and find out who you were and what happened. The game is reminiscent of old Lucas Arts cartoon adventure games. Nearly Departed is still in development and does not yet have a set release date.

]]> 24 May 2007 06:01:43 OpenArena is a Free Software FPS game licensed under the GNU GPL. It aims to recreate the data used by the GPL Q3 source from scratch. It plays identically to Quake III: Arena, however it does not require it to run. It is entirely Free and stand-alone. The engine used is ioquake3 for security fixes and feature enhancements.

The game is available and compiles for Windows (95 and up), GNU/Linux and Mac OS X.

]]> 22 May 2007 10:54:23 Shelled! 2 is the sequel to the freeware original. Where Shelled! was centered on multiplayer mayhem, Shelled 2 focuses on a compelling single player mission-based experience. Though single player by nature, the multiplayer game will remain intact and enhanced with new maps, re-balanced weapons, and the added ability to fire shells during flight. The innovative "FPS meets Scorched Earth" firing mechanic from the original remains intact, which is the core of the gameplay and fun. Practice shelling in Shelled! to get a leg up for the sequel -- interesting challenges are coming your way. Like Shelled!, the sequel will include full script source and editors for you to create your own levels and missions.

Shelled! 2 began development in March 2007 as a wholly independent project of Red Thumb Games and will not be freeware upon release. There is no release date expected or planned.

]]> 22 May 2007 09:38:43 The Continuum combines classic turn-based wargaming, collectibility and RPG character development into one multi-player adventure that will change the way you game. Characters, abilities and equipment combine with in-game artifacts, epic battlefields, and changing scenarios to provide an experience that is at once familiar and all-new.

Players will have a huge impact on the ultimate design, features, and direction that the game takes as the beta rolls out. Pre-registration for the beta is open at the official website for The Continuum.

]]> 17 May 2007 01:28:46 Clonk is a highly traditional 2D game of action, strategy, tactics, and skill. It features multiplayer battles or cooperative settlement in random generated or predefined landscapes with unique physics.

Build your base, mine for resources, develop technology, or simply knock your opponent on the head. You will have trouble finding a game with more variety in gameplay - download the trailer video to find out more.

The game has been freshly ported from Windows to Linux and Mac and is currently in Beta. We would especially love feedback on the two new platforms.

Prepare for an uncommon set of controls which will take a bit of time to master but which will then give you full control over all actions of your crew members in realtime.

Clonk is fully editable. An integrated developer mode with a powerful and fully documented scripting language will leave nothing to be desired if you want to take things into your own and create your own game extensions as hundreds of community players have already done.

The free demo will keep you playing for months. After that, register to get all addons and access the online league.

Go to the Clonk Rage homepage for downloads and more information. Check out the forums to get in touch with the community and developers.

]]> 15 May 2007 11:04:14 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.

]]> 15 May 2007 06:59:07 My first platform game. I've developed an elaborate story behind our main character who is possibly the first sentient robot in human history. It's just too bad that the fallout of his coming brought a devastating war that rocked all of mankind and now about 4 decades years later once again threatens to finish the human race.

]]> 14 May 2007 12:22:58 A arcade-style maze game with robots and cool weapons. A few influences from FPS genres are added however. The premise of this game is pitting a human up against an evolving robot AI that learns from the player's actions. I am hoping to boast various types of AI techniques through development.

]]> 13 May 2007 11:43:12 Dark Skies, is currently in development, and is a major departure from other planetarium programs. This simulation is to be used for beginning to advanced astronomers by immersing the player in an accurate simulation of a night sky. Here, they can learn where the constellations are and how to star hop to planets, galaxies, and nebulae.

Ever since I joined my first Astronomy Club and went out under a dark desert sky, I was overwhelmed by how difficult it was to locate constellations since there were so many stars. In the city it is a lot easier to locate constellations since light pollution blocks out the fainter stars, but is also difficult because the lights block out objects I would be trying to find. The hardest thing about astronomy is that it takes practice to truly learn the sky and to take into account for weather conditions, light pollution, and general driving distances.

We decided to create Dark Skies so that astronomers could explore the stars and other objects that they have been wanting to locate before they leave home and make the 60 mile journey to observe.

This is an online multi-player 3D simulator designed with TGE + AFX and is planned for release on Windows, Mac, and Linux. The simulation will create a simulated star party where up to 16 players can join and select one of 3 models of telescopes such as refractors, newtonians, or cassegrains. Players are able to use the telescopes to locate objects and can step away from the instrument without losing the location so that other players can look through the scope and learn where these astronomical gems are located.

Dark Skies is intended for instructing, and for learning experiences at your comfort. Bob, your friendly ranger, will work along side of you to assure your progress and understanding of the mysterious dark sky above.

]]> 09 May 2007 06:02:05 This is a multiplayer Flash based 4X game which pretty much adheres to the style of Master of Orion 1 and 2. Just trying to make a fun multiplayer version of those classics.
