New patched version!
Version 1.5 includes all the latest upgrades, including a tutorial video.

I get to talk at the Canzine indie game room, on October 26th. I will be up there with the Scourge team!

RGN will be selling Mugs, Hats and T-shirts with Engine of War art on them. How cool is that? I'll post when they are in the store.

Engine of War has been patched! Version 1.4 has been uploaded. This fixes a few more things that 1.3 rushed by.

1.4 of The Scourge is uploaded. Check it out on Michael's team page.

Because of a missing file in version 1.1, version 1.2 is now uploaded, fixing the problem. If you could not enter your key without crashing the game, please re-download the demo, and try again.

A new version has just been uploaded, version 1.1, that can now be downloaded in all the same places (it has just replaced the old version).

In it, the 'spending-money-on-a-part-over-the-maxium-limit' glitch has been fixed, along with some minor tweaks to the slideshow slides, making them more clear.

I have just returned from TOjam, a indie game jam where almost 150 people made a bunch of games over three days. There was little sleep, way too much caffeine and lots of fun.

The free game that I worked on can be found here. There are zombies.

The team was myself, the artist Craig Adams (Youtube) and
the cool sound-guy, Arthur Zaragoza

Engine of War is done. In a short while, it will be in stores, and entered in a few contests, include PAX 10, and the Indie Game Showcase.

Thanks to all who helped test it!

New version of Mech Builder posted, version 1.1.
This has a few small bug fixes, as follows:

    Fixes -

     - The player is now invincible from the time a boss dies to the
    time that the next level's text fades away. This prevents the
    player from dying after killing the boss, and starting the
    next level without the weapon upgrade and money that the boss drops.

     - All monsters that are stuck off-map are killed when the
    progress timer bar is full. This prevents levels being
    impossible to win because various monsters are stuck off-map.
