Killer Edge launched for iPhone and iPod Touch


Nalin Sharma, the award-winning game designer behind PuzzleKings, is delighted to announce the immediate world-wide availability of Killer Edge on the AppStore for iPhone and iPod Touch for a mere £1.19/$1.99.

Killer Edge is a rip-roaring racing game where players can nudge, smash and swerve their way to the front of the race across a variety of tracks featuring incredible inclines, crazy curves and soaring straights.

Players can use the tilt control or touchscreen of the iPhone/iPod Touch to steer their way expertly round the tracks while avoiding collisions that reduce energy. If this runs out or if they fall off the "Killer Edge", they will lose a life.

All 12 cars in Killer Edge are accurately modelled with an expert physics engine inside, so they each handle differently and when they go over bumps, you can see them fly!

The Grand Prix mode has 3 cups, Bronze, Silver and Gold, each with 3 unique tracks that get progressively harder throughout, and there are 7 different pickups that can boost your car: Turbo, Speed, Attack, Defence, Traction, Shield and Energy.

Easy, Medium and Hard game settings plus Quick Race and Time Attack game modes complete the features in this super-smooth arcade racer along with pulsating music and 3D sound.

“I think there is room in this market for a fun exciting 3D racing game with retro graphics” said Nalin Sharma, and he goes on to reveal that he did this whole project as part of a bet with his better half: “my wife thinks that I won’t sell any copies, and maybe she’s right, but it would be nice to prove her wrong!”

Killer Edge is available at this link on the AppStore within iTunes.

Unknown - Frictional Games, status update

Unknown
After over a year of technology development and prototyping we are finally at the tipping point as ideas comes to life on the screen in front of us. With our very first early version of "Unknown" ready, we are more confident than ever that we are on the right track as to what will become a great horror game.

With the previous award winning Penumbra series to live up to we have been working hard on coming up with a concept that improves the already winning formula - horror without violence. With "Unknown" we have started from the very beginning - creating a new game engine, development tools, re-thinking and improving the physics interaction, evaluated every little part of Penumbra as to figure out the best way to create the experience.

"Unknown" is a first person survival horror game set in the 18th century. The player is caught in the middle of the unknown as he explores an old castle, dating back as far as the 14th century. With a "hands-on" physics interaction system the player can examine objects and control his surroundings in a way that is unique to the games developed by Frictional Games, for example it's possible to slowly drag drawers open to examine the inside in search for clues. To be careful is a must as the sanity of the player could quickly falter if inhabitants of the castle were to take notice of him. Different parts of the castle has widely different architecture, reflecting the centuries that has passed since the castle was initially built. Today's two screens, gives a peak of a more modern part of the castle as well as the older and decaying part of it.

Free update for MyTraffic X - Version 5.2a

MyTraffic X free upgrade
Burkhard Renk, the author and driving force of MyTraffic, has released Version 5.2a of this very popular program, the 'Mother of all AI Programs' for the MS Flight Simulator series.

This free update is mainly enhancing the eastern hemisphere and bringing it up the the same high levels achieved for the western areas, adding a lot of new models and liveries to the already impressive list. Aircraft such as Antonov, Ilyushin, Tupolev and Yakovlev are now included, in FSX format of course, assuring that all current airlines and commuter airlines in 'the East' are now also present in your FSX installation!

There are even a dozen new airports included, airports that were missing from FSX! Attached are 'before' and 'after' screenshots of the situaion at Bykovo and Ostafyevo in Russia to show the difference!

This update assures that MyTraffic X remains as before the number one AI traffic program in the world, making the virtual skies and airports in FSX look so much more realistic.

The free update will be available from the MyTraffic Support Forum here: http://forums.simflight.com/viewforum.php?f=4

About MyTraffic X

MyTraffic was first published back in 2002 and has been constantly adapted to new versions of MS Flight Simulator, making use of all the new featuresintroduced with those versions.

MyTraffic X replaces the standard Microsoft AI aircraft and flight schedules. In most locations in the world you will see 5 to 6 times more flights as compared to running default FSX, whilst maintaining a good performance.

MyTraffic has been copied a few times, but so far never been equaled. With well over 5.600.000 weekly flights, more than 8100 busy airports from large to small, 1900+ airlines, 4500+ liveries and more than 170 aircraft models, the majority of them in dedicated FSX SP2 format, it still runs circles around the competition.

In addition to a very good performing AI program it also offers owners of FSX DeLuxe the option to go back in time and see appropriate schedules AND aircraft for the period chosen.

Another extra is the included MyTraffic X Editor, with which customers can add their own AI aircraft, airlines, liveries and/or airports.

And then there is the MyTraffic Communicator, a program to simplify managing MyTraffic X itself.

Last but not least MyTraffic can be used with Super Traffic Board for FSX (http://www.supertrafficboard.com/), developed in close cooperation over the years.

MyTraffic X download version can be purchased from simMarket here: http://secure.simmarket.com/b.-renk-mytraffic-x-v5.2.phtml

Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge, meet your mercenaries

hired guns
Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge, the real time strategy game by GFI and Morphicon, is set to be released on 29th May. Lead a group of highly trained and ruthless mercenaries in overthrowing the brutal dictator of The Diamond Shores in deepest, darkest Africa. Assemble your hired guns from a selection of available mercenaries.

They may not be the men you would choose as friends, but they are without a doubt, the men you would want covering your back in a jungle firefight.

Ernest Rogers.
Ernest Roger’s two great passions are weapons and hunting lions. He’s a man who can strip and clean a rifle and throttle a leopard by hand in about the same time! If the latter is stupid enough to come close enough to Ernest! Ernest Roger’s current location is unknown.

Jack.
Jack worked as the commanding officer of an anti-terrorist detachment in the SAS, until he found himself court marshaled after failing a single hostage rescue mission. As a result of the failed mission many hostages were killed, however, all the terrorists were also neutralized some of them in very barbaric ways. Because of his previous service he wasn't punished, but he was honorably discharged from the SAS. He is a specialist in the following: assault operations, battles in enclosed spaces and close quarters combat.

Rasta.
Rasta learns quickly and is trained in military science. He specializes in fire-arms although he is not an excellent rifleman himself. He is very strong, enduring and excellent in close combat.

Billy Bob.
Billy is widower and that’s the reason he has returned to his old profession. A quiet bartender from Lancaster, he is always polite and treats people well. He has an excellent memory and knows the names of all his regulars in the pub he runs. Billy Bob is a great leader, quick and laconic. Inexperienced mercenaries can learn much from him.

Sebastian
All we know about Sebastian is that he is an ex-field agent from the CIA. As he says "I just got tired with espionage games, politics, narcobusiness, weapon sales and easy work". He is good with explosives, electronics, in close combat and with automatic arms. He is also a skilled mechanic and can render first aid.

Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge will be available on 29th May 2009 at a RRP of £24.99.
