While this game has been out there, it is still technically in a beta state (though playable). Following the release of CU, MLane Redux will be the next priority. It won't be a huge overhaul but it will tackle rewards differently and there will be an epilogue tacked on to finish the game...
2016-05-27 23:26:46 +0000 UTC View PostHad some great feedback through this phase, mostly around some breaks and some navigational clues. Luckily no major unfixable issues, unlike earlier games. I think this is proof we're getting smarter in our processes. Now working to fix the outstanding issues and get this to Alpha....

2016-05-15 19:30:12 +0000 UTC View PostI just sent source file over to Seph for all work prior to Beta Testing! It is with him now and hopefully we'll have a Beta Test version for mid week. Here's what Saiphas had to say about current state of build:

2016-05-15 00:37:58 +0000 UTC View PostJust wanted to provide an update. We're def. behind schedule due to bug issues and scheduling issues. Poor Seph had a health scrae but is ok and fine. Zaza and Saiph have identified about a hundred issues, most minor (and yes, I will replace that Sandy image Zaz!). I've added in some extra content a...
2016-05-09 22:06:32 +0000 UTC View PostPatrons at this level are eligible to beta test. If interested, just drop me a note and I'll get you the DL link when the beta is ready for testing! I'm hoping it will be ready by end of week as we finish up early testing.

I have unexpected house guests AND the demise of a laptop in the last few days BUT am back in dev-land and am finishing up some tutorial "Let's Play" vids to include in game at behest of the Early Testers. I hope to finish these up today.
2016-04-26 23:47:04 +0000 UTC View PostOur intrepid seasoned testers Saiphas and 1zaza1 have just been sent the 1st playable version of CU to kick around and test drive. We're right on schedule, which is fantastic. We can all thank Seph for his brilliant efforts here-- he's worked magic with the game logic and coding.
So, what ...
2016-04-16 00:03:38 +0000 UTC View PostSome players like more background on how a game came about and why certain choices were made during the design process. As the game moves into final production, I offer it up here for your perusal!
I was curious so I asked our forum members and once we hit fifty responses, I thought it would be worth sharing:
Games like COD of course get much hig...

Nothing to show you but believe me, we've been busy! The rubber hit the road today in that as I have been tying together all the produced pieces and trying to 1.) save and compile the project file and 2.) publish the damn thing. To be honest, all the careful planning is often cast int...
2016-03-27 01:33:00 +0000 UTC View PostHi! If you are seeing this, it means you'll have access to the Alpha version of CU. Right now, Seph, Saiphas, Lorenzo, Toyntanen and I are all working on separate areas and it seems to be coming together. We want to make small parts of the game 'work' before combining them but we a...
