Steel Storm needs your help!

by admin on Jun.30, 2010, under Uncategorized

Alexander Zubov, a good friend and affiliate asked me if I wouldn’t mind letting the EDIGames community know about his game project in development Steel Storm.

Alex has done some excellent work for EDIGames, notably certain graphics for the gates in Morning’s Wrath 2; if you like the look of Steel Storm please consider donating even a small amount to further its creation.

Steels Storm is a 3D top down arcade shooter with an old school spirit.
Being made using DarkPlaces engine, the game shines with unique visual style and runs on Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.

Key features:

  • Single player and Multiplayer modes;
  • Competitive score based gameplay;
  • 10 unique environments;
  • 12 unique enemies;
  • Advanced Artificial Intelligence;
  • High replayability value due to reconfigurable missions;
  • Real-time mission editor;
  • Easy to mod.

Making Progress

by admin on Jun.10, 2010, under Uncategorized

The house is shaping up nicely; I’ve done some demolition of walls inside and worked to install our new exposed wood headers.

Work on Morning’s Wrath 2, remains on hold, but I have taken some time to revise some of the Selenite Engine, to make developing MW2 a lot easier and gain some performance.  More on that later perhaps.

Morning’s Wrath Update?

by admin on May.12, 2010, under Uncategorized

Sadly no… Jacki and I are knee-deep in renovating our home this summer so work on Morning’s Wrath 2 has gotten a little slow.  We’re hoping full-on work will resume late summer after the contractors have finished adding our second floor.

Home Sweet Home... getting better all the time!

Home Sweet Home... getting better all the time!

We were getting a significant amount of water in our basement each year… that’s really unacceptable.  So with the help of a friend and the same determination that I put into game development, we’ve managed to excavate the foundation, install non-existent footing drains and cut the interior floor slab and install interior drains.  Tons of work, but it should keep us water free for the next hundred years or so.

Another productive night!

by admin on Oct.27, 2009, under Uncategorized

Jacki and her friend are out advertising Static www.staticgame.com in Salem, MA today; I’m hanging back and finishing up the game… kinda jealous, I love Salem around Halloween, save for the traffic.

Last night was very productive, puzzle after puzzle getting everything integrated, marking the design document with ‘X’s after each completion. It’s comforting to see more ‘X’s than not with the deadline so close :D
