LOOK OUT!

[Veho Nex]

An idea of mine that will hopefully spin out of my control and end up ruling the universe, or at least become a staple of The Arena.


Something that hit my radar less than a half hour ago and I've already updated all my mailing list to keep an eye on this game. Yes it looks like a mutated Minecraft clone, but even Notch has shown interest in this. I've got a feeling this will catch on with the same power that Minecraft did when it first came out. I only know one or two people who played MC during its "classic" days but countless souls, including mine, lost during its first weeks of Infdev and Alpha stages. Now its the standard for all mining/crafting games out there, you compare everything to MineCraft. Kinda like what crysis was for how good your computer was, anyone remember those days?


Anyways, here it is:
Lords of Uberdark

Lords of Uberdark (tentative title) is a 3D mining & building game that I'm currently writing, much like Infiniminer and its more prominent cousins. It's still in an early stage of development (pre alpha), but already has most of the core functionality and a handful of features that set it apart -- especially smooth terrain and cartoon-style rendering. It also does nice texture blending, animated water, raytraced lighting, random terrain generation, ore veins, and a bunch of other stuff.

Neat.
No really it looks pretty neat...
but kick off like minecraft? Well... actually determining that is pretty much impossible.
Another minecraft "alike" game without totally ripping it off is ace of spades.

The intial releases of the game were my favourite time personally. It had a very WW1-ish feel to it.

Another game you might have never known existed

This game was posted on another forum I frequent, and looked to be a blast (you'll laugh at that later). At first I was left to wonder what it was all for, until I finally made my first orbit of the planet that was supposedly my home. After a couple score of trial and error I finally got my ship to break orbit without careening out of control and disintegrating 100m in the air. That first feeling of weightlessness floats over your crew and you can almost feel it as well. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Org, I give you:

Kerbal Space Program

Kerbal Space Program is a multi-genre game where the player can create his own space program.

In KSP, you must build a space-worthy craft, capable of flying it's crew out into space, without killing them.At your disposal is a collection of parts, which must be assembled to create a functional ship. Each part has it's own function and will affect the way a ship flies (or doesn't).So strap yourself in, and get ready to try some Rocket Science!
