]]> 31 Aug 2007 08:21:22 Once upon a time...

Scratch that, this is no fairy tale.

Imagine a world where every choice and action determines what you become. Where you evolve in real time based on every little thing you do. Fable is an RPG action adventure unlike any you've ever dreamed of. And now more than ever - with extra quests, additional customization, and extended content - your destiny is yours to choose!

Evolve in Real Time - Your decisions make you a hero, villain, or anything in between. Your actions determine how you look and how others react to you.

Expanded Content - Discover additional regions, storylines, and side quests as well as new optional missions.

Fable is designed to offer pure, concentrated role-playing, with a primary emphasis on open character development and influential interaction with the game world. The game begins as the player's character enters the fantasy land of Albion, a growing, interactive environment that develops and changes with each new event. The character grows and changes as well, beginning the adventure as a youth but slowly aging as he or she lives life in Albion, gaining wrinkled skin, graying hair, and (hopefully) becoming quite elderly by the end of the story.

The game is designed such that every choice and action the character makes can have an effect on his or her development. Physically active characters become more fit, while those who spend their time studying the arcane arts may develop receding hairlines. Characters who spend time working in the hot sun will get a tan and individual wounds heal into distinct, telling scars. Less tangible characteristics mature according to behavior as well. Players are free to commit nearly any conceivable action, but acts of cruelty will lead to vilification by NPC townsfolk, while noble and altruistic deeds may inspire loyalty and adulation from the masses.

It is important to note that instead of focusing on a limited number of scripted "good versus evil" plot points, character development in this game occurs mostly through hundreds of minor day-to-day decisions that gradually come to define and refine the player's place in the game world. In short, !Xbox gamers are offered a virtual lifetime of choices to play through. Fable is developed by Big Blue Box, an affiliate of Lionhead Studios, whose popular Black White shares the theme of free-form, consequential character development over a broad span of time.

]]> 22 Apr 2007 03:43:17 The purpose of this game is simply to survive.
To do this you have to eat the yellow dots, but the catch is, is that if you don't eat, you'll die!!
Also there are red creatures, which will harm your creature if it eats them, so don't touch them.
They won't make it easy though, becuase if they get close enough, the curious creatures will follow, but you can shake em' off with a few slick moves.
If that was bad, things just get worse. These little red creatures have infected some other creatures, and when these creatures die, they spread even more of these little blighters around!!
But help is at hand! There are some other types of creatures: blue, green, and purple, and when you eat them, your creatures gain abilities which will help it survive.
But these effects are only temporary! So keep your wits about you!

I will update when I can, but for now:
I hope you enjoy this game!

W= Accelerate, S= Reverse, A= Turn left, D= Turn right, and ESC= Shut down game!

]]> 14 Jan 2007 08:37:11 Deluxe PocMon is Edgar M Vigdals Deluxe Pacman remake for the PC and MAC. Deluxe Pacman was a very popular Amiga shareware game that garnered many many addicted fans. Now, on both the PC and MAC, it includes all the old bonuses like glue, extra time, guns and gems, but now it is bigger and better than ever. There are many new modes of play and skill levels. Over 100 levels including bonus rounds and even some secret levels too. There are also even more bonus pickups of course, and the graphics and eye-candy have had a nice boost. Profiles make the game even more addictive and we hope to add even more very very soon. This is a much more recent release from us and so is still in active development but it is already at a fully playable, stable and bugfree stage. I played a much larger part in this games development, doing the usual testing and QC, but i also recorded the entire voice set, created all the levels and many of the tilesets are my own. Of course being a part of this one from the start also made it easier to implement many of my own ideas for the game of which many are in :) One of the great bits is in duel mode where you can come back as a ghost and chase round your rivals for some revenge... Great fun. A must try, so grab the demo now !!

]]> 02 May 2007 06:03:47 To take a break from one of my big projects, I decided to make a little side-project. I had no idea what to make though, so I looked back through my old creations, and decided to remake one of them. This is what I came up with.

The objective is simply to survive for as long as possible, while attacking the enemy you circle around. That enemy has a few different attacks, which start off being quite harmless, but the longer you play the more deadly they get, until eventually you die.

The graphics are, I'd say, a unique style. I've used this stlye a few times, mainly because I suck at making "proper" graphics. I think it looks quite cool.

The controls are included in game. If you can't be bothered to read them, the simply put, use the arrow keys and z,x and c.

I do warn you though, this game does flash quite a bit, and on several occasions I, and others, have got head aches and nausea from playing it, heh. =P

A quote someone said about the game:
"A Wicked Extream Super Outstanding Magnificent Extravaganza "

I hope you enjoy it, I only spent 1 week creating it, but don't let that deter you from playing it. The music is by 8 Bit Weapon, not me.

Have fun playing =D

]]> 27 Dec 2006 07:32:21 Magma Duel is a 2-player game whereas your objective is to destroy the opposing player, whether by knocking him into the boiling magma below, or by making use of the 9 nifty powerups available randomly floating around the level. Each round the level is generated by the computer based on modifiable (see Options) values. A new feel each time!

Magma Duel was inspired by a wonderful game released for DOS in 1996, Marshmallow Duel (http://www.marshmallowduel.com). Hours of fun spent with friends on this game lead to the creation you see here today, with all sorts of changes and improvements (largely graphical!).

]]> 08 Jan 2007 02:00:42 Pax Galaxia is an addictive real-time strategy game of interstellar conquest. Set up your supply lines to send your ships into battle. Surround your enemies and conquer the pieces. Only one star empire will control the galaxy!

]]> 05 Feb 2007 03:18:37 Save giraffes while jumping on a rolled up squirrel! Watch out for the angry natives!

]]> 06 Feb 2007 11:12:57 Animals speak, cars fly and stones get eaten: though all looks exactly like on earth, nothing seems to be normal on the planet Flupglup. So it's no surprise that it is a sport to race an a freeway in the wrong direction and drive against as much oncoming cars as possible!

Alien Race is a funny racing game with a nice cartoon look. Proof yourself in 12 races at three different levels of difficulty! Collect as much points as possible and reach one of the top ranks in the high score list. Collect bonus objects in four different game worlds and dare oncoming cars. But be carefully: if there is no energy shield to protect you, every crash will be your doom.

]]> 08 Feb 2007 09:31:32 The King of All Cosmos and the Royal Family decide to take some time off from their celestial construction and travel to Earth for a well-earned (for the Prince at least) tropical summer vacation on their own sunny island. Unfortunately, the King's over-exuberance creates a tsunami that strikes and devastates nearby Paradise Commonwealth Island. One of the residents, a turtle, washes ashore next to the Royal Family and tells them his tale. The King then decides to make new islands for the animals of the Commonwealth with several katamari. Similar to the previous Katamari titles, the King sends the Prince to the Sunflower Continent, which is full of the paraphernalia used to create new landmasses.

Gameplay is much like that of the previous Katamari titles. Controls differ from those of the PS2 games given that the PSP lacks the DualShock 2 dual analog sticks. The player uses the D-pad and the four face buttons to imitate the analog controls. Often forgotten, as the creators added this only for the American release, is the ability to use the thumb-nub instead of the D-pad (the previous Japanese version only uses the thumb-nub to move the camera). The L and R buttons are used for tight turns.

Each player has his or her own island, which they name. A maximum of three of the player's friends can visit the island, via ad hoc network. The visitor can challenge the player in a contest of rolling the most valuables, like the Saving Red Panda stage in We ♥ Katamari.

]]> 03 Mar 2007 08:39:41 This is just an amazing thing. It might not be a game, but the enjoyment it gives my 4 kids (all under 5) is just incredible. We were even on holidays and my kids friends were captivated by it.

Its more like a movie about Sly Slim the Skeleton and it just shows what he gets up to at night in his graveyard. My little 18 month boy get more excited watching it than the Wiggles!! I have no idea how or why, but when I need a break, I turn it on and the kids will watch it for 15 minutes or more without making a sound.

And that is to say nothing of the beautiful animaton.

I first saw it on YouTube, then at the Johnny Castaway website - and I have been hooked ever since. As a screensaver or a babysitter, I cannot speak highly enough of it :)
