Multitasking in Desktop Environments

Submitted by The_Noid on 19 December, 2011 - 10:10

The last few months there has been a big uproar about desktop environments. Gnome3 completely rethinking the desktop and Ubuntu making Unity no longer an option. My biggest problem with many of the new desktop environments is that they use the wrong definition of multitasking, or to be more precise, the wrong definition of "task".

TowerDefence.net - End Of A Chapter, While A New Dawn Begins...

Submitted by AeonMasamune on 9 June, 2011 - 22:48

It has come to our attention that the popular website TowerDefence.net is no longer active. Ezo, the site's original owner, recently sold the website to a company known as "Caputo Media", a business that owns a small collection of websites. Now it seems the company has merged the website with its other websites, hence the "TD.net" community as we knew it here at the Users' Studio Of Open Games, is gone for good.

Onwards and upwards

Hello everyone :)

Well, I'm sorry I haven't posted a blog in months, especially since I've been busy helping to flesh out how future games will work and what will go into those games, along with some personal matters (that which I won't go into). Hopefully in future, I'll post blogs more often on this website :P

Latest activity on USOOG and the IRC channel

Submitted by AeonMasamune on 11 May, 2010 - 20:08

Greetings to all site members and visitors :)

Myself and The Swedish Tower have continued work on Creep Attack lately, while the TDCore engine that has been given priority in recent weeks nears completion. We have considered the appearance of the in-game screen on the USOOG IRC channel with the help of one of the regulars who take part in discussions there.

I have also come up with more online game suggestions in recent weeks, though at this time I'd rather keep the game titles under wraps! :P

Possible new games for the future?

Greetings to all site members and visitors :)

Well, it seems ideas from myself and The Swedish Tower (mostly myself :P ) have been flowing on the USOOG IRC channel lately, and now we have come up with more game ideas that could become realities sometime into the future. Among the new ideas are another tower defence game, a puzzle game, and an open source remix of a popular Flash game.*

Recent activity on USOOG and elsewhere

Greetings to all site members and visitors :)

It has been a little quiet here lately, mainly because myself and The Swedish Tower have been carrying out other activities elsewhere. TST is currently working with The Noid in developing a common core for CA and Hex TD, and that core will be used for future tower defence game projects. Meanwhile, I am busy fleshing out ideas for a second game in preparation for production for next year, though you'll have to come on over to our USOOG IRC channel to find out what the new game will be :P

My thoughts about why the idea of Creep Attack came about

Submitted by AeonMasamune on 11 February, 2010 - 22:03

Greetings to all site members and visitors :)

It has been more than two months now, since the Creep Attack site is up and running, and I would like to share my thoughts about why I thought of the main idea behind Creep Attack;

More anti-spam

Submitted by TST on 8 February, 2010 - 16:35

Due to the massive number of spam recently I have now increased the defense.

All new posts are scanned for anything that might be spam and placed in a moderation queue.

I have also added a tougher captcha too.

Let's hope we won't get any more spam :)

Coding is going fine!

Submitted by TST on 27 January, 2010 - 11:26

I wanted you all to know that the Creep Attack coding is going great. I'm still giving the core of the game a lot of love and I'm constantly improving the internal API or adding new vital functions need for the game.

As soon as the core is done my goal is to work on the actual gameplay. Here I will add creeps, mages, maps, multiplayer, singleplayer, map editor and a lot more things.

Stay tuned!

Progress on the Creep Attack Project Thus Far...

Submitted by AeonMasamune on 10 January, 2010 - 22:24

Welcome to all Creep Attack site users. As we began 2010, it seems the game itself and the site has quickly evolved since my first blog was posted onto this site.

We now have a new IRC channel strictly for Creep Attack, for those of you who want to pop by and have a chat or to talk about everything to do with the upcoming game. It is always worth it to see new people participate in discussions on the IRC channel after visiting the CA site.
