It has certainly been a while since I posted any news about what I'm working on. Well, I'm actually working on two projects (three if you count the master server). The first is a first-person sci-fi tank shooter that is being developed using the Torque Game Engine. Progress on this one is slow, but forever moving forward. The other is still in the design phase. It is a space-based trade/pirate game. I have not yet decided what engine to use for this one. I am about 85% sure that TGE is not going to be sufficient for this one. I am also looking at C4 Engine and an Ogre3d based custom engine. The only stumbling block with C4 is that it doesn't currently run on Linux.

Well, that's pretty much where we stand at the moment. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep more regular updates here.

I've revived the Push Button Master Server by Ben Garney. It has a new CMake build system and project files for VC++2005. This is a first release. Future releases will contain major modifications such as the ability to run as a service on windows machines or as a daemon on Linux machines, logging to files instead of the console, and possibly a new network layer.

Another future enhancement will be MySQL and PostgreSQL storage with interfaces to allow data to be displayed on a website.

The basic first release is available in the Downloads section.

Here is a development shot of a car that I finally got functioning.



Progress is .. progressing.

Here are some "work-in-progress" shots of one of the tanks:

Hover Tank 1
Hover Tank 2

These shots are still rough but should give an idea of what the style of the tanks will be.

Just an update so you know we are still here.

Work is still progressing on Tanks (working title) but is moving slower than expected. I will certainly try to get more information about the game and some development screenshots soon.

If you are wondering where Geek-Cave.com went, it's gone. Geek-Cave.com was a personal project and is no longer maintained. I will do my best to move the Farscape Quotes pages here when time permits.
Leave a comment to this post if you're interested in seeing the Farscape Quotes pages. If there is enough demand, I'll make it a higher priority.
This post will be "stickied" until the Farscape Quotes are back online.

Forums are now online. New topics and forums will be added when needed.
