    ]]>     29 Mar 2007 12:26:06     MegaPixel MegaPixel is a fast paced first person action game in an interesting abstract setting. It features exciting and challenging gameplay inspired by great games like Halo, crazy-awesome abstract graphics made out of particles and 8 bit type sound effects. My vision was a game of pure intense action where reflexes are essential and the player is rewarded for making difficult shots, being patient in the heat of battle and using skill and strategy to destroy many enemies at once.

    MegaPixel won first place in the 3DU Game Design Contest.

    Megapixel has been picked up by Shockwave.com. It was released on shockwave 5/15/07

Everyone who plays The Restaurant Game will be credited as a Game Designer. It's never been easier to earn Game Designer credentials!

    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.
    ]]>     05 Mar 2007 09:33:21     Secrets of the Domus Aurea Secrets of the Domus Aurea is Eon Clash's entry into the Pascal Game Development contest 2007. Keep an eye on the home page for more information and downloads as they become available.

    Storyline
    In the year 64AD (after the Great Fire of Rome) Nero built the Domus Aurea (or "Golden House"). This is the story that is known. The story that is not common is the secret that the Domus Aurea hides and of your adventures within.

    It is now 5 September 476 AD and yesterday Romulus Augustus was deposed (history will show that he will not be replaced). During Rome's fall stories of a powerful secret hidden within the catacombs of the Domus Aurea have surfaced, and being the curious type that you are, you have set out to find the truth or fiction of them.

    ]]>     05 Mar 2007 08:58:43     Echoes Echoes is sort of a blend between Asteroids and Geometry Wars. Like in the classic Asteroids you control a space ship floating around somewhere in space, trying to stay alive while asteroids are flung around. But unlike Asteroids, Echoes has some extras.

    Instead of just small and large asteroids, there are four asteroid sizes (ranging from mini to enourmous) comets, meteor storms, asteroid belts, planets (with moons), black holes and the sun. There are also both energy and weapon power-ups.


    Echoes is created by Binary Zoo, creators of mono, Duo and DUOtris.

While driving you can also record "instant replays" up to 15 seconds in length, and then playback your stunt from any angle. you can even save/load these replays, so your friends will believe you!
    ]]>     02 Mar 2007 07:01:46     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.

    The gameplay remains much like in the original game.

    ]]>     13 Feb 2007 08:08:23     Sonic Invaders
    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.

    ]]>     13 Feb 2007 04:40:27     La Mulana La-Mulana is a freeware free-roaming platformer game designed to look, sound, and play like a classic MSX game. It's heavily influenced by the classic Konami MSX game 'The Maze of Galious' and anyone who has played that title will probably recognize the similarities very quickly. You play the whip-wielding Indiana Jones-esque archaeologist Lemeza Kosugi as he investigates the ancient ruins of La-Mulana in an attempt to find its treasure and one-up his father, who is trying to get the same treasure as well.

    The game is huge, with many different areas to explore and dozens of items and weapons to find. Each area has a large variety of puzzles and traps and you need to solve the puzzles in each area to discover the Ankhs and Ankh Jewels, which allow you to fight the eight Guardians of the ruins. To solve the puzzles you'll need to be able to read the tablets scattered throughout the ruins, which will require a Hand Scanner and translation software for the portable MSX that Lemeza has brought along on the adventure. Your Hand Scanner will also allow you to find items and search the bones of less fortunate adventurers.

    Note that the original game comes in Japanes, so apply the english patch (link at the bottom).

    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?
    ]]>     12 Feb 2007 01:29:03     Dyadin Within the depths of space and time, two planets converge upon one another unexpectedly, throwing the laws of physics into chaotic motion.

As they become more familiar with their surroundings, they find they have the power to affect their environment based on their proximity and color. With these newly discovered powers, they set out to uncover the source of this destruction and hopefully the means to restore peace and order to their lives and home.

    Your pager tickles you awake.

    Upstairs in the house of your childhood, in your room, and it must be time for school because -- no, it's the weekend, you remember, but your alarm is going off anyway. You should have been awake already. You're going to miss the bus. Your mother climbs in the window. You're dreaming.

    You're a grown-up: It opens to you again, a sluggish window summoned by a mouse click. Waking up now in your own apartment, your new apartment. Your pager is buzzing and vibrating both, serious. It is in fact the weekend, but you're not in elementary school. No one is crawling in through the window. You're a system administrator for nWare. Waking up urgently, here in nTopia.

    ]]>     10 Feb 2007 07:18:14     pingK This game is a pimped up version of the original Pong, but now the player has the ability to give the ball a spin.

    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     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.

    ]]>     08 Feb 2007 04:30:44     Cultivation Cultivation is a game about a community of gardeners growing food for themselves in a shared space.

    Cultivation is quite different from most other games. It is a social simulation, and the primary form of conflict is over land and plant resources---there is no shooting, but there are plenty of angry looks. It is also an evolution simulation. Within the world of Cultivation, you can explore a virtually infinite spectrum of different plant and gardener varieties.

    All of the graphics, sounds, melodies, and other content in Cultivation are 100% procedurally generated at playtime. In other words, there are no hand-painted texture maps---instead, each object has a uniquely "grown" appearance. Every time you play, Cultivation generates fresh visuals, music, and behaviors.
