]]> 21 Nov 2006 08:02:13 Spore Spore is a computer and video game under development by Maxis, and designed by Will Wright. It simulates the complete history and future of life according the evolution theory. Its concept, scope, and development philosophy (broad use of procedural generation) has drawn wide attention.

Spore is, at first glance, a "teleological evolution" game or god game: the player molds and guides a species across many generations, growing it from a single-celled organism into a more complex animal, until the species becomes intelligent. At this point the player begins molding and guiding this species' society, progressing towards a spacefaring civilization. Spore's main innovation is the use of procedural generation for many of the components of the game, providing vast scope and open-endedness. Wright said "I didn't want to make players feel like Luke Skywalker or Frodo Baggins. I wanted them to be like George Lucas or J.R.R. Tolkien."

TC:E is a modern world total conversion modification of the free, popular, stand-alone first-person shooter Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. That is, TC:E is an entirely free game, made by gamers, for gamers.

TC:E is currently being developed by GrooveSix Studios and TeamTerminator. While TeamTerminator is known for the famous Q3 based TrueCombat series, GrooveSix Studios was initiated by retired TeamTerminator co-founder Coroner to develop a Return to Castle Wolfenstein modification that is not released. Thus, as very experienced Q3-based content creators, we hope to be able to serve the gaming community with a quality offering.
Now, the most important question: "What can you expect from TC:E?" TC:E is a tactical-team shooter, set up in a modern-world environment. TC:E puts you into the role of elite mercenary soldier in the conflicts of two internationally operating forces.


SpecOps vs. Terrors
The Global Intervention Force (GIF626) is a special force formed of the top of the world experts joining from US Delta force, UK SAS, German KSK and GSG9, to mention a few. An international mercenary organization known as "The Unit" is their opponent. It is reported that some of these dudes are were once with the above forces, but the lure of money is strong. You say "Yet another terror counter-terrorism shooter. Why the hell should I go for it?". We say "Cause you don't have to spend a cent and it features:"

  • balanced, team specific set of real-world weapons (Grenades, Pistols, SMG's, Assault-, Shotgun- and Sniper-Rifles)
  • lag compensation, client-side bullet prediction, punkbuster support
  • immersive and lethal, fast-paced action"

You play as either four survivors that try to go from Point A to Point B, or you have the choice to play as one of the many zombie bosses. Now you may think this will get repetitive in time, but that's not true. The gameplay is different every time you play. Now this game heavily depends on teamwork, if you stroll along by yourself, your going to most certainly die. Weapon choice is simple, you can use MP5's to Uzis. The story is that the in a city have been infected with a sort of rabies that have turned them into zombies. These zombies aren't slow, they're fast and have the ability to climb fences. Oh, I forgot friendly fire is always on, so don't be trigger happy, and also don't jump right in front of your teammates expecting you won't get hurt, because you will. Why is friendly fire always on? The fact is, it makes the game more challenging. If there was no friendly fire, the game would too easy and would be a breeze to finish.

    ]]>     29 Jul 2007 12:59:10     Siege of Avalon : Open Source Siege of Avalon takes place in the fictional land of Eurale. Within Eurale are seven kingdoms: Nisos, Aratoy, Oriam, Fornax, Elythria, Cathea, and Taberland. The seven kingdoms united into an uneasy alliance and built a citadel as a meeting place, which was named Avalon.

    Within the land is a civilization of nomads known as the Sha'ahoul. Their religion values very highly the earth and nature and therefore they are against farming, the building of permanent structures, and similar practices which they feel destroys the earth. After discovering the existence of Eurale, they declared war on the seven kingdoms to eradicate their way of life.

    Many refugees of the destruction caused by the Sha'ahoul took shelter in Avalon. The seven kingdoms sent military support to defend Avalon and the refugees. To the people of Eurale, Avalon is seen as the last hope at stopping the Sha'ahoul. The Sha'ahoul and their leader, Mithras, chose to overtake the citadel by setting up a siege around it.

    The game begins with an entry in the hero's journal. The siege has been going on for several years. His brother, Corvus, serves as part of the military in Avalon. When their father dies, the hero feels that it is his obligation to inform Corvus of the sad news, so he becomes part of the crew of a ship sailing from Elythria to Avalon to deliver supplies. The Sha'ahoul manage to sink all of the ships except the one the hero is on. The ship reaches Avalon, but has lost most of its supplies. It is not possible to make a return voyage to Elythria and so the hero decides to stay at Avalon, inform Corvus of their father's death, and help out Avalon in whatever manner he can. The player gains control at this point and begins by speaking to Corvus and informing him about his father's death.

    ]]>     09 Mar 2007 11:31:26     VoiD.net

    - What is it?

    VoiD.net is a 2D platformer that tries to take advantage of current technology for revisiting and expanding the platformer genre. It's being developed with Blitzmax.

    - What is it... not?


    • It's not retro or a remake. No "classic" control or feel.
    • It's not all about jumping down on enemies and collecting coins or rings. No random items floating around. It tries to make the player feel inside a (somewhat) coherent world.
    • The objective of the game is not get to the end of the level to find out the princess is in another castle. As the story develops, the player will have to adapt to each plot-driven situation.
    • There's no destined all-good hero trying to save the world. You control a group of characters that have their personalities, lives, and motivations.

    Note: I love oldies like Mario Bros and Sonic! - It's not that they're not great games, but this game isn't aiming at that!

    - Features?

    At this point you'll have figured out VoiD.net has a big adventure component, and this heavily influences the gameplay. It has some RPG aspects (character levelling, skills / "magic") and even tactical wargame or fighting games ones.
    Let's say I try to mix what I liked most of each (2D) genre into a platformer. This is the result:


    • High-res 32bit, hardware accelerated graphics (supporting OpenGL & DirectX currently; probly DX support will be discontinued).
    • VoiD Engine scripting language for developing customizable campaigns.
    • Deep immersion in the sci-fi world of Void through ingame narrative, playable cutscenes, "alive" game maps and npcs...
    • Up to 5 selectable characters at the same time in the player party.
    • Fast paced control system, designed for heavy action scenes.
    • Vehicles, some controlable by the player.
    • Levelling system for characters. Character classes & subclasses, skills (including some kind of magic), buyable equipment, award system a la Tactics Ogre...
    • Fluid character animation, thanks to VoiD Engine 2D Skeletal Animation System.
    • Ambient, weather and cinematic effects (graphic effects via shaders, when available).
    • Lots of developer love :)

    - Personal note

    I've been into development (on my own) for more than 2 years, and I know I still have long ways to go. The game has evolved a lot since its first form and has become somewhat complex.
    This may sound crazy for just one dev, but I have my reasons. It's a very personal project, because I see it as my "ultimate freeware game" before starting to think more... commercial.

    If you have any comment, ... well, just leave it, or mail me or whatever you want!

    Void does not forgive.

    ]]>     19 Nov 2006 11:59:39     BattleTech Simulator I am building a 3D Real-Time Simulator for the BattleTech/MechWarrior Universe. The rules will follow the role-playing rules and only vary in the conversion from a turn-based system to a real-time system. All conversions will be justified and will result in similar, if not identical behavior, if viewed in a turn-based time frame.

    Physics, scale, and interactions will be of highest importance, followed by accurate input/output (i.e external hardware, see MechWarrior Combat Simulator Cockpit for more explanation), and with visual impressiveness being of lowest importance (i.e. I'm not starting out with beautiful models that don't interact with their environment correctly). Network multi-player is not a priority.

    The initial project will cover the technology of 2550. It will start in the year 2550 and span to current time of 3070's. Since a game that size would be imposible to create in one shot, it will start with the range 2550 to 3025, a decline in technology. Each faction will be a separate add-on as will steps in time (3025-3050, 3050-3055, etc.). Clan will be an option, but only through participation in the Exodus.

    The primary focus is a single-player game, multi-player is a separate function with the possibility of tying the two together with Solaris VII. The game will be comprised of a multi-generational character (obvious given the time frame). The game will be a collection of campaigns, divided into battles. Progress through the game will present options to the user allowing them to shape their destiny. All element of the game can be either scripted (pre-determined), randomly generated, or a combination of the two.

    UnEarthed Gods is a PC Role Playing Game being developed by Clint Brewer. If you would like to know more about Unearthed Gods or UnEarthed Games, send questions to Clint, or comment here.

    To be notified when the game is available: Take a potato, cut it in half and insert a small piece of garlic in one half(it's important the piece is small...but not too small!), bind this in animal skin and bury it on an open hillock facing south.

    The down and dirty:
    This has been in development in a while. There is still a good deal of work to do to finish this and I'm reevaluating how I can best do this. Right now I'm planning on a more focused version. Focusing on the action of hand to hand weapons combat, and less on the magic casting and deep role playing aspect. There will still be magic but not the more complex type I have been planning for. Any feedback you can give me about what you think given the little you've seen will help me direct the future development. Your comments are most appreciated!

    Thanks for taking a look!

This game will feel more like a thrill ride than a straight racing game. Each level will take place in a different time period and event. One level you may be racing in the Jurassic period with a t-rex attacking you, the next level may be cruising on a highway through space in the future.
    The levels are not lap based as many other racers are. Instead, the levels are one long track you will travel through to find the time rifs.

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.

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.

    ]]>     24 Jan 2007 03:47:41     And Yet It Moves And Yet It Moves is basically a mixture between a jump and run and a puzzle game, with the extra ability to rotate the world. The player can run left, right and jump, but can also turn the world clockwise and counterclockwise by 90 degrees. When this happens physics works the following way: as soon as rotation starts all objects get frozen and after rotation objects continue to move with their velocities (direction and speed) they had before. With this ability you can move objects and yourself but also need to keep orientation and watch out for dangerous situations. Don't worry though, your made out of paper so you can die as often as you want to.
    The overall goal is to get through this collage of ripped paper. And if your quick - and don´t die too often - you might get into the highscore list.
    This is a gameconcept for a mediainformatics course held by the igw at Vienna University of Technology. We made two levels that show different aspects of how actual gameplay could be like. The first level - the cave - is more jump and run style and is an easy one where you can practice and improve your rotation skills. The second one - the jungle - is an advanced level with more sophisticated puzzles. To solve them you have to apply the physical consequences of rotating the world to the player and other objects simultaneously.
    ]]>     30 Jan 2007 03:14:44     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.

    • Crush the Critters is a game of whack-a-mole for your feet (using the dance pad), your mouse or your keyboard (you cheater!).

    The first beta is live!

    The game has entered the first beta, which is just the Classic Mode. Some graphics still need polishing up, the sounds aren't complete, but that's what these early betas are for :) The game works, and will at least give you an idea of what's coming. Also please note that the game is more or less for kids, particularly at this stage without the humor of Adventure mode. Also please note that the game is shrunken quite a bit because of the size of the webpage! For full size play and to become an official beta tester, go to http://www.hedonismgames.com/beta/index.html

    Instructions

    Click the critters as they come out before they can hide again! You can also use keyboard keys, although it makes the game much easier. They are (corresponding to the screen squares)

    Q W E
    A ~ D (there is no middle here)
    Z X C

    A Foot-Tastic Adventure!

    As the resident Critter Stomper, your hometown has been overcome by the imminent threat of an onslaught of cute critters! It's up to you, moving from your own town, through numerous locales and ultimately into outer space to stop the critters!

    Using the typical dance pad 3x3 grid (with the exception of the middle square, of course), the player must stomp on critters as they appear on the screen.

    In classic RPG sense, collect equipment (shoes, socks, shoe laces and aglets - you know, those little things that cap the end of your shoe laces?), level up and collect money through bounties and successful missions crushing the cute-but-monstrous critters.

    Play is best with the dance pad, although the entire game can also be played with the mouse (great for Wii players) or the keyboard.

    Classic Mode

    Classic mode is just like in the arcades! Play a quick round, choosing where to crush the critters, which ones to crush, how long to play and the difficulty. When done, collect your tickets, which can be used to purchase bonuses (cheats, artwork, etc.) or printable rewards!

    Awwwww... So Cute!

    Crush the Critters has a fantastic artist - Ariel Marsh - who is handling all the great, cartoony style of the game.

    Printable Rewards

    Printable Rewards are one of the greatest things about Crush the Critters! Why just let the game sit when you're done when you can print out all sorts of things, showing off your accomplishments?

    Other Features

    Other great features of the game will include:

    • Unlockable locales (places) and critters for Classic Mode.
    • Playable on the Wii Opera Browser!
    • Cheat Modes and Challenges.

In those intervening years nuclear winter, ozone depletion, unstoppable plagues, horrific natural disasters and lingering radioactivity have proven to be the bane of Mankind. Now, in the year 2100, those few who have managed to remain alive emerge from their fallout shelters in the hopes that they can salvage something of Humanity. Because if Nu-Tech has its way, Humanity will be wiped from the face of the Earth.

Throughout the unfolding saga of the Shattered Series expect to meet interesting characters and strange creatures. Expect to experience the freedom to roam and interact in an enormous world on foot or by vehicle. Expect the ability to complete objectives and missions any way you choose. With Shattered Earth expect to find a new level of playability and eventually re-playability. As, you take to the streets and under-cities of the world of the Terran in multi-player. Ultimately, we hope, you will find the game play refreshing as you experience co-operative multi-player with the added un-sureties of elemental psionics. Shattered Earth will not be your typical "run and gun" fps, expect to be surprised.
