GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER!!

Well it has been a long – long – almost two year journey to make our first full-on fps game and so here we are. The PC version is now done – and Gold (meaning that it is finished and awaiting commercial release).

We are on track to release it via digital distribution on June 30th, unless a retail publishing deal that is worth doing, comes along. At which point, the release date could be pushed as far back as the end of Summer in order to have time for marketing, production, localization and all that.

We intend to release an update (v1.18.23) for the demo later today in order to bring it to the same v1.18.23RC version as the Gold build so that gamers experience the game based on the final Gold version. A lot of last minute tweaks were made and we also added one more single player fps combat mission to the demo build.

All in the media currently doing previews of the BETA/RC builds will need to contact (biz -at- 3000ad.com) us for links to the full game downloads and new DRM keys. If you have not yet previewed the game, you are more than welcome to contact us for a review build of the full game version.

Hopefully you all will have as much fun with the game as we did developing it.

Next up. KnightBlade.

    Congratulations, been playing the demo quite a bit. Gotta round up enough spare cash to grab it. Hopefully there will be a nice multiplayer community!

    Is the full version Dx10 enabled?

    The system requirements for the game are on the product page. DirectX is a rendering subset. The game’s rendering engine only uses DirectX 9. So that means it works on XP, Vista and Windows7. DirectX 10 adds nothing and is not a requirement.

    It’s still a fun game, I’ll probably buy it.
