Revenge 2 Final Version
Released |
|
|
Osiris has released
the final version of 'Revenge 2 - Escape From
The Lost Dimension', for the full Spear Of
Destiny. There are now 10 fairly large
levels with a mix of original Spear,
Revenge and brand new graphics - though
there's still just one wall design used most of
the time. There's changed sounds and a text file
included. Available here. Replaces the 5 level
demo version released Feb 26. Needs the full
version of Spear Of Destiny to
play.

Camrose Unleashed Demo
Released |
|
|
Here's a 5 level
demo from Col 10 and Sam and it's called
'Camrose Unleashed'. The levels are not that
large though they are well decorated and there's
changed graphics and sounds which tend to blend
together quite well. On the first level though,
you get 'disappearing objects' at times due to
too many objects in one area. Story doc
file included. Later withdrawn due to
unauthorized use of the actor shown in the
screenshot.

Monkee's Image World
Update |
|
|
Here's an email
from Monkee Monkee regarding his 'Image World'
site: "I know I said I'd reopen for submissions
the 20th of this month, but after having had a
little more time to myself lately and having
been freed of the stress of having to keep the
site up to date, I've decided that it's best for
overall well-being if the site be closed for
submissions indefinitely. This does not,
however, mean that any existing part of the site
will become unavailable, though, and I hope
everyone still gets some good use out of it.
Keeping a site updated regularly (especially
with my limited PC time) is a lot of work, and
requires a lot more free time than I actually
have these days. Maybe some day down the road
when I've got less to do and I've completed some
of the special non-Wolf projects I'm working on
I'll reopen the site to guest submissions. In
the mean time, thanks for visiting!"
Majik's site is at
Monkee's Image
World.

well. Credit should also go to Gary Ragland who
made the exe file. For more info on this
set - please see Add-ons - Awarded.

Monkee's Image World
Update |
|
|
Here's an email
from Majik Monkee: "Greetings from Majik
Monkee! I'll be taking a break from doing
updates at the "Monkee's Image World" site until
April 20th for a variety of different reasons.
I've had a lot going on lately, and it's not
always possible to do everything I need to do
and keep the site up to date as well. Please
don't send any submissions prior to the 20th if
you haven't already, as routine maintenance at
the Image World submission account during this
time period will probably cause them to be
deleted. In the meantime, enjoy the content the
site already has to offer, and thanks for making
it a success!"

LoneWolf Beta
Engine |
|
|
Here's a
beta version of a new engine for
Wolf3D/Spear games being developed by Denis.
I've checked it out with the Activision full
version of Wolf 3D on my Windows ME computer and
it seemed to work well. It played the game with
all the music and sounds and was as fast as
playing with the normal exe. By adding the
parameter '-fullscreen' I was able to play in
full screen mode rather than in a window.
There's a doc file included which has a
lot of info on the project. Available here. Ideas and suggestions
are welcomed by Denis.

rounded for a cleaner and less pixelated look.
The original graphics will be released as a mod.
Game
release date is aimed at Halloween 2005. The

problems and a projects update: "Hello, Ian
Summerfield returns with a note that first, Doom
Spear will now only have two episodes and then

that way as well. Third, I will now like
someone's assistance in the source code
department in a new chain of add-ons that will
go in this order:
1.
Wolfenstein 2. Wolfendoom 3. Doom
If
anyone would like to help out with the source
code (graphics, levels, sounds if you would
like) please email me. Also, for those who don't
like cartoon add-ons, I will not want to feature
ANY cartoon graphics in these add-ons. Please
respond by emailing me at: DakTeam@aol.com.
Thank
you, Ian Summerfield
PS. I
may soon release Doom Universal Tour as a five
level demo."

6th March 2005:
Orb Of Calamity Update |
|
|
Richard Kelly has
sent the following update on his latest set 'Orb
Of Calamity': "My upcoming TC - now
titled "Orb Of Calamity" - will unfortunately
not be released anytime soon. I have a *lot* of
work left to do with the graphics. Since I do
all my graphics by hand, it will take quite a
while to complete.
The
graphics "To Do" list includes sprite images for
Weapons 3 and 5, new title screen, new sign-on
screen, and several graphical pictures
accompanied with the game story's beginning and
end. The beginning of the story will be told in
the self-running demo, after the Credits are
displayed and before the recorded demo
starts.
However, I intend to do a simpler
ten-level TC before "Orb" is complete. I really
have to do so in order to prepare myself for
what Orb requires of me. I haven't created any
levels in a while, and doing a TC simpler than
Orb will allow me to do make new levels again. I
might work with someone else in order to get it
completed more quickly.
I've
submitted a number of new images to Majik
Monkee's Image World in the meantime.
-
Richard Kelly."
