The server update went sort of smoothly - the site never went down for a significant period of time, but I did lose access to the server for a while due to some problems with SSH after the update. Everything seems to be working correctly again, but if you find any problems with the site, please report them in this Trac ticket. Or just use the forums if you are able (but a site problem might prevent that, hence the ticket). Continue reading »

This is just a quick heads up that the website might be down for a while at some point in the near future. The Debian version I'm running on the server is going out of security support shortly so I'm going to have to upgrade it, and the last time I did that for this server it was down for something close to a week due to some unforeseen difficulties. I'm hopeful that this one will go more smoothly, but consider this fair warning. Also, I'm not sure exactly when I'll get around to doing this, so it probably won't be until 2012.

Well, sound is better anyway. I've done some work on things that were pretty blatantly missing before, particularly rocket and footstep sounds. Also, all of the sounds have been replaced with some that I generated with sfxr so the only thing I'm aware of that's not free license compatible is the music. In general I like them better than the old effects anyway, especially the new autocannon sound. You can feel that one in your bones. :-) Continue reading »

Which means that I should have a little more free time coming up, although there have been a number of unexpected things that have also come up recently so there are no guarantees. Continue reading »

I know I said I was going to schedule some playtesting in the near future, but that was about the same time that they started building my house and time has been a bit tight for me lately. I could carve out some time to do playtesting, but I wouldn't really have time to work on the game to fix any problems that come up so it wouldn't make sense to do it now. The next two or three months are probably going to be super busy, but I will be back at it after that.
