Transporter Tycoon Updates

written on November 13th, 2009 with no comments

The last couple of days have seen some major updates to the Transporter Tycoon Game.

HQ Levels have now been increased, allowing all players (Premium and FTP) to upgrade the HQ to the same level. Previously, FTP (Free to Play) players were limited to level 7, and Premium players limited to level 15. The new level max has not been published, but left for the players to figure out for themselves.

With this change, the maximum level for the Warehouse and Workshop was increased, from a max of 5 to a max of 10, further increasing the bonuses awarded by them.

Today sees the Port level increase. In order to upgrade the port to maximum level, you will need to upgrade your HQ in line with it, but it will allow players to run many more ships.

Also today, upgrades have been activated on land based vehicles. These upgrades will increase the speed of the vehicles, or the size of the fuel tanks meaning that they can travel further, and at the same time, travel faster. A full compliment of upgrades to a vehicle will make significant time savings.

Once I am happy that the release today has gone through smoothly, without issue, I will extend the upgrade options through to the ships, meaning that port owners will be able to get those goods to their destination a lot quicker :)

Core Exiles IRC Rewards

written on October 3rd, 2009 with no comments

Worked this morning with Coops adding a new reward system to the Core Exiles Game. For active Participants in IRC Chat, we are now randomly awarding a fuel regen bonus, that will increase the fuel regen by 6 units per tick for a period of 6 hours!

To be in with the chance of winning the bonus, you simply need to be active in IRC chat, simple as that! We even make it mind-numbingly easy for you by providing an ajax mibbit widget to connect to the chat, so it really is as easy as clicking a button.

We do of course recommend that users install and configure a dedicated IRC client (many free clients can be found with a quick google search) but this is not a requirement for winning the competition !

If you are a fan of browser based sc-fi games, then get on over and check out Core Exiles, what do you have to lose ?

back on track…

written on September 28th, 2009 with no comments

After an eventful weekend, I am back on track again!

My buddy and I managed to get all the boxes ticked for the new project this weekend, so it is now live, ready and waiting for the barns doors to be smashed..

Nexusfiles is back.. ! Our favourite old site has been raised from the ashes, which has been made possible with the various technology updates of the last few years, and also the general storage/bandwidth costs falling. The old .com domain has been snapped up and is plastered with ads, but we used to run .co.uk as well, and being as it was available, we went with that.

Hop on over to Nexusfiles if you are a fan of Unreal III, Forged Alliance/Supreme Commander or Total Annihilation. We currently have 6.5gb of maps, patches and mods online, and we will be adding to this over the coming weeks and months.

If you have files to share, then let us have them.. details can be found on Nexusfiles.

A new beginning…

written on September 14th, 2009 with 1 comment

with all good intentions I have set up blogs in the past, meaning to post to them regularly but life always seems to get in the way… so I have decided to try again. Let’s see if this time I can actually find the time in my day to keep this up to date.

Currently my workload is quite heavy.. I am working on development servers for both my games (Seedy Streets & Transporter Tycoon) as both of them will be having some major new features added, as well as a number of interface tweaks that will hopefully make them even more addictive and fun to pay than they currently are ;)

I also have a development server running working on the new incarnation of RSD Bugtrack, again with some major interface changes, and a few functionality changes.

Then there is the ongoing list of bits I am working for on Core Exiles, mostly though these are back-end changes that the users do not see. I have recently spent time getting the FAQ for Core Exiles up and running, and also re-written the login page (for the umpteenth time) but all these little things improve the experience for the user as a whole I feel, so I find doing them very satisfying.

Along with these projects I am also spending large chunks of time currently with some of my clients, and find that I frequently have to drop everything and dash out the door, but isn;t that the fun of being self employed ?
