rand(1,20) tells me 13, so I'll jump on/start* the shinygerbil bandwagon!

Swish!

What the F--K are you doing now?! *dies horribly, choking on pyramid quotes* Begins to build a new pyramid to entomb zanzer7's body Enlists 10,000 slaves to the cause *enlists little green men from the sky to help* Good sir, I must insist that they be red as red goes faster. Only if they have yello...

1. Futurewinians. I played a few solo games over the weekend (damnable lack of internets) and two games in a row one of the first crates had Futurewinians. They promptly descended and sucked up all the DGs at my spawn points, forcing me into Retribution mode with 8 minutes left on the clock. The sec...

Last chance at a TWG before we're swallowed by black holes next year... I'm in!

A good listen, killed an hour or so at work. Nice to hear some of your opinions on other games as well as talking about IV stuff. Very good point about Spore and others creating a turning point in user content distribution and installation, starting to make it all more automated for players. A wise ...

At least it's not the "Tack Manager" any more.

So the local Mart of Wal is selling the first season of Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles for fairly cheap. Has anyone seen it, would it be worth picking up? I like it, if only for Summer Glau being a machine of death and awesome. Not an amazing plot, but it's an entertaining diversion once a...

Couple of sequential question sets here 1) Has the hiring of new talent since Darwinia helped significantly with the design and development of the newer games? You've said before that with Darwinia you took a long time to work out what the game would actually be; do the new team members get to provi...

Buy a proper gaming system? *cough*

Ok, here's some screens with an example mocked up map to illustrate some of the ideas a bit better! First, an overview of the map: http://www.llamaboystudios.com/Darwinia/multiwinia/gridwar-layout1.jpg (Bear in mind this is primarily to show a set of potential setups, not a final map concept) As you...

Sounds good to me. Those few little stragglers at the coasts can get mighty annoying at times.

What xander said. Would the structures be attackable? I'm thinking no from your description, which would make it much different from Rocket Riot. Cool idea. :) You're right, the structures would be invulnerable. The only way to win would be to invest more of your own Darwinians in the blooms and to...

I just had to get this idea out of my system or I'd be up all night thinking about it. If you don't like stories, skip to the picture and after. Ok, so first a little background. Once upon a time, when Darwinia was freshly released, I intended to create a mod of that wonderful game with a full story...

Hmm, my first thought was if he's that bad at making movies of games, then maybe he'd actually be fantastic at doing games directly. ...then I saw the video. 20 seconds of footage devoted to running down a linear tunnel? SOUNDS GREAT. And it's so very brown. I genuinely thought it was a piss-take fo...
