I tell yee a tale of heros and strife,
from which the items appear thrice.
The king I speak of could be considered a mith,
Through times of danger, it is said he did live.
A scroll with three words was uncovered, behold:
Conflict, Dungeons and Zombies abode.
And thus is the end of the rime. We've got three items to report on today.
The first, is conflict. Not just any, However. The audiogame known as Time of Conflict, by GMA Games, has received a major version upgrade to 2.0. Highlights include a world system with medieval and trek inspired scenarios to play in, many new maps, a bunch of new units, and even the ability to build worlds and units of your own. But that's not all. This upgrade introduces multiplayer to the fray.
The full changelog and discussion can be found in this forum topic, and the game can be downloaded by clicking here.
Next up, we've got dungeons, more specifically one dungeon. Kerkerkruip has received a major upgrade, this time to version 9. Highlights include a reworked reaction system which allows you to dodge, parry and roll under enemy attacks, sacrificing to the gods, more uses for grenades, stealth and extra content.
You can read about the update in this forum thread, or you can check out and download the game on their brand new website.
The last update we have concerns zombies. If you remember, we reported that Somethin Else, developers of iOS games such as Papa Sangre and The Nightjar, were looking for funds by way of a Kickstarter campaign for their next game, Audio Defence: Zombie Arena, even going so far to say on the page that if they failed to meet their goal, they may have to consider stopping development of Audiogames. Well, we've got some bad news. The project didn't even reach half of it's funding goal. However, there was a surprise in store. On the Audio Defence twitter feed, they mentioned that the game will still be released. No new info has been given besides that, so for now, we'll keep an eye and ear out, and if you use twitter, be sure to follow @audiodefence for the latest updates.
Happy battling!

As a side note, I haven't mentioned Swamp's new update due to the fact that Aprone's website (kaldobsky.com/audiogames) didn't work at the time, so I didn't want to post about it in case it wasn't fixed for a while.
In fact, the original version of this post had a section about it.
edit: This is typical! The website is back up.

Wow, I get up this morning expecting to be writing news and see it's done already! that was quick.

Mutter mutter, grumble grumble, young whipper snapper  taking my job, I'll show him I will, grouch grouch! big_smile.

Seriously nice job with the news, I particularly like the rhymes.

With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)

Needing a write-up on Grail to the Thief. People are missing out if they don't back this one. I'd love to see it make it to the mobile phone stretch goal (but doubt that will be reached).

Hi,
Gar, I completely forgot about it! I haven't tried it yet. So is this grale to the thief thing similar to something like chillingham/time adventures, adventure style, a bit like interactive fiction?

2014-04-19 18:19:29

Yes.

hi, for anyone who doesn't know, the kickstarter campaign for grail to the thief is only 9 hours left, but the game was pledged $10036, that means the game will not only created for windows, but the game will be created for PC and mobile devices(IOS, android, windows phone 8 and windows phone RT).
the game will be released in early august, so for anyone who has pledged the money for the developer, you all will get a surprise when the game is released.

going in to the wilds, collecting pokedex, and capturing them are my kind of thing,
training them, making them evolve, and generally making them stronger is my ultimate goal,
fighting other manamon tamers, winning the tournament, and fighting octoros are what these manamons like to do,
and ultimately, I become the master of mana!
