| 540 | 2 | 1999-08-04 10:38:42 | <a href="mailto:redpingu@caramail.com">BLuPiNGu</a> has announced a new project, <a href="http://rocloiso.planet-d.net/creatures/download_fr.html">#demofr Creatures</a>. I presume the unusual name comes from the IRC channel that the game was born in. BLuPiNGu describes the game like this: <blockquote><i>In #demofr creatures, you give orders to your monsters, but as they are a bit stupid, they won't do exactly what did tell them. #demofr creatures can be played over a tcp/ip network. The game is fully skinnable, i think about adding mod support, there is no sound support yet but it will come. Yet there is only the mapeditor and a previous version of the server, but it is to make the source available to whoever wants to help. </i></blockquote> <a href="/images/creatures.gif"><img src="/images/thumbs/creatures.gif" align=right width=200 height=123></a> If you read French, you can find out more about the game <a href="http://rocloiso.planet-d.net/creatures">here</a>.

| 544 | 2 | 1999-08-06 11:54:03 | Perhaps you've noticed a slowdown on news and database updates around these parts lately. My apologies. Your humble host (that's me) is currently overwhelmed by Real Life responsibilities, and finds it difficult to make time for daily Game Tome maintenance. I expect this to continue for another week or two, until I finish an awful deathmarch of a project at work. <p> I'll continue to post stuff that's submitted to me, but anything that isn't right in my face will probably get missed. As always, you can email me newsworthy items to ensure I see them. <p> Soon the pain will end and lots of happypenguin loving will be coming your way.
