I’ve recently tried the demo of a very cool game, Lux Deluxe, which is basically a transposition of the board game risk to the modern computers. Available both on mac and pc, I recommend anyone to try it, even if you aren’t a fan of strategy/simulation games. Is very easy to learn but, as they say, “hard to master”.
This new version focuses on the american history, from independence war to iraq war.
After 1 week of testing, I’ve released version 1.3.3 of my Universal Boxing Manager game.
Here is the list of changes in this new version, the biggest one for sure is the new search method (which was requested by a lot of customers!):
What’s New in 1.3.3
· new search boxer screen: beside the usual search by skill, now you can search the boxers based on their age, weight class and career record (wins, draws, losses and KOs)
· fixed a bug in the ranking system. Now CPU controlled boxers have a fitness value too, so they can’t fight twice on same month (that was causing a boxer you just defeated to still show ranking increase)
· fixed minor bug that was preventing boxers to recover the fitness value at normal rate. Now they should recover from matches quickly expecially if you have good health specialists
· fixed a bug that was causing incorrect statistics to be generated if you restarted the game without exiting to deskop using Quick Match
Yes after just 2 days playing it, I’m thinking to give it up and go back playing Everquest 2 instead. The game looks great, has great atmosphere, etc etc.
Is not a BAD game. But is a BAD RPG 🙂 I understand the XBOX owner enthusiasm since there aren’t any CRPG on consoles, but seriously, would you define a RPG a game with:
– impossibility to bash door opens (yes you have to be a thief to solve many quests)
– real-time combat without ANY strategy, block-hit block hit, cast some spells or just sneak and hit from behind (again, this is taken from thief 3)
-impossibility to have a party or be part of one
– unusual level progression! you basically improve skills as you use them, then every level you just get a bonus in the primary attributes. Pretty bad compared to Fallout leveling (with perks, etc) or even just standard AD&D leveling. When I earn a level here is like nothing happened!! 🙁
I could go on, but I think you got the idea. Oblivion? a great game, something like an adventure with rpg elements, but definitely not a classic RPG for windows.
It was about time to make an update for my Universal Boxing Manager game. I’m adding some things, is just a minor update, nothing comparable to the latest expansion pack for Magic Stones. But is also true that certain games are more easily expandable than others (and UBM wasn’t really made for future expansions).
Still I’ll add a new search boxer feature that was requested since long time, hope my customer (and non customer) will like it!
Gameproducer.net has published live the sales stats for the game Tribal Trouble. I have been selling it as affiliate from some time and it is doing well from my site too. I personally think is one of the first indie games (if not THE FIRST one) to have a production value comparable to commercial ones!
Well done, Oddlabs.
