Back from dusmania, right to RubyWeekend...


Surt's goblin

Surt contributed the first model to OpenDungeons (and it looks good!) The model also was quickly incorporated by Timong into jClassicRPG.



Meanwhile, JackyJ (creator of the cool 3D platform-marble and physics game irrlamb) released the first version of Choria, which seems to be a parody of MMORPGs. It reminds me of the funny (though unfree) Progress Quest.



Word War vi has reached release 0.19! Controls are fine now and the side-scrolling arcade is lots of fun to play. It might be the first game with Xbox 360 controller rumble effects on Linux!



RubyWeekend #2 is happening this weekend. I'll be helping kiba with art stuffs. It's gonna be fuun! As you might have figured, the rules are to use ruby inside the time span of the weekend to create a game. :)



The 3D Ultima Online client remake Iris 2 scored first price (best project) at dusmania (german indie games ...party :) ).




Part of the dusmania was a overnight games creation competition. Our result (made with LÖVE) is lalalove (working title), a game inspired by Lost Garden's Celestial Music. Basically you connect stars, asteroids and planets, to create musical compositions. The current state isn't polished but playable and fun for some seconds. We're definitely going to make it kick ass!



Also: No more game videos on Vimeo allowed. Not sure if they permit videos of games you did yourself.

Lame vimeo, lame.

People mentioned gamevee for game videos instead, I'll be using that.

If you read the notice, it said that screencaps, walkthroughs, etc of video games are not allowed; i.e. if it's just a screen cap of you playing a video game, then it will no longer be allowed.

Stuff like machina or other videos that truly convey artistic expression (a screencap does not do this) are still allowed on Vimeo. I guess something like a movie style trailer of a game done with the blessing of the game maintainers would be allowed on Vimeo.
