NEXON Europe launches its hugely popular, free-to-play online RPG across Europe
Nexon Group today announced that the launch of its completely free to play online game MapleStory across Europe. MapleStory is a unique 2D, side-scrolling, massively multiplayer online role-playing game where players can enjoy a multitude of different skills, spells and abilities, as well as numerous community features, including detailed friends lists, communication through humorous character animations and the facility to form Guilds and adventure parties

Goliath runs on an in-house engine built for the project. It uses Renderware Graphics, ODE (physics), Raknet(networking), LUA(scripting) and FMOD (sound). Highlights include:
 
    * Terrain supports huge worlds (demo level is 3000m x 3000m) and view distances of 1km.
    * 3D sound system with 32 simultaneous sounds and advanced features like Doppler shifting.
    * Effects include normal mapping, realistic shadows, particle effects, billboards, gibs and more.
    * Realistic physics modelling - vehicles have mass, suspension, etc, and can jump and roll.
    * AI system capable of controlling 16 AI teammates, 1 Goliath (with over 20 weapons) and a large number of drones. AI players have projects and work together as a team to achieve multiple objectives at once.
    * Scripting system enables building placement, level parameters, effects scripts, vehicle parameters and more to be set by artists outside the program.
    * Multiplayer LAN game supports up to 16 players and allows joining the game while it is in progress (replacing an AI player).
    * Most subsystems feature level of detail systems to reduce CPU/GPU work. Models/sounds/physics and more function differently based on distance from the camera.

BJS is a funny arcade 3D multiplayer tank battle. It is fuly playable and very fun in multiplayer. Of course the single player is also possible. The game is running under Linux, Windows and hard core developers may make it running under MacOSX (means it is working but compilation process is not trivial).
 
The goal of the game is just to create a good time for players ;-) There is no story. You just get tank and go shooting other player. Currently we are having 5 different tanks, 6 maps, 9 powerups and 4 weapons.
 
The goal of the game is just to create a good time for players. We hope you will enjoy the game.

05.31.2007: Last tweaks on the new website and engine version 8.0 release. While I was working on a new version I have discovered several relative fatal bugs in the latest official release, so I decided to publish this new version although many Ideas for new features haven't yet been implemented. For More Details on this new Version see the Downloads page.

Un homebrew (de l'anglais, lit. brassé à la maison) ou programme amateur est un programme informatique créé par un consommateur à destination d'une plateforme propriétaire comme une console de jeux vidéo. Habituellement, ces dernières sont programmées à l'aide d'un kit de développement acheté auprès des compagnies fabriquant les consoles. Mais, dans le cas du programme amateur, ce kit de développement peut-être également créé de toute pièce par le développeur (au lieu d'être acheté).

You are Nick Naster, the most talented and well-trained Special Agent of the Interplanetary. You are chosen to stop a massive alien invasion and viral plague in your home system Zeta 2. Intelligence reports indicate that the alien virus has spread across the planet, infecting and transforming human troops into hostile mutants. Exposure to the planet’s atmosphere will result in immediate infection and reinforcements are not possible. You are provided with the last drops of an experimental antidote that has been completed only minutes before the destruction of the Zeta 2 bio lab headquarters. All data and antidote reserves were lost.
Your mission:
 
    * Find your way trough six Cities;
    * Recover remaining data units and unfinished probes of antidote;
    * Neutralize any opposing alien treat;
    * Destroy six gigantic class-3 symbiotic organisms, halfhuman, half-machine, that are the carriers of plague and alien technology necessary for invasion completion;
    * Prevent a global eXtinction of all known worlds.
 
You have been provided state of the art technology. With your afterburner installed in your backpack, you can deploy nine powerful weapons: uzi, shotgun, chaingun, lasergun, plasma gun, bio gun, missile launcher, magma cannon and photon thrower. You are your planet’s only hope.

 Hey Playas! Yeah, it's done. At Wednesday noon the 18th of July, we start
officially. Our Beta ends already Tuesday at 10:00 am. During this time, the
alaplaya website and the games are not accessible due to changeover reasons.
But don't despair, we will be back for you as soon as possible and better
than ever.
  At our official start, the payment system will be full integrated. Finally
you can get alaplaya points (AP) to equip your characters.
All items which were bought during Beta with for testing available AP in
FantasyTennis will disappear. Don't worry, your characters and the skills
you played for won't be affected by that.
  We thank you all that you joined our Beta and wish you continuous fun at
alaplaya!

Open Beta Starts Next Week, Free Potatoes! - 07/11/2007
 
Good news, StrikeRacers.  With your help, we’re making very good progress towards opening the streets to all comers.  In fact, on Wednesday July 18th, we will be allowing visitors to freely enter the city that you have helped form.  Open Beta will begin in a week.  
 
To celebrate, I’ve issued all closed beta testers 3000 Potatoes from the Treasury.  This will allow you to purchase some of the fancier items on sale.  Please note that we will be wiping the databases at the commencement of open beta, so you won’t be able to take these potatoes with you forever.  Spend them soon!
 
 
We hope you enjoy the continued growth and evolution of Upshift StrikeRacer!
