Jeeze I thought you guys stopped working on PWO because it has been so long, you should post it in WIPs so we can have TCP/IP coop battles till you get more done

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Havn't stopped yet, I would say about 1/3 of the engine is done, but it's picking up some real speed
We never *actually* finished multiplayer like that, but one thing I would like to add in PWO is a challenge arena/area, where you go, find someone to fight (through some kind of lobby) and, well, fight them.
Also, PWO can't go into WIP, because it doesn't have a demo or release yet.

do the planets have gravity? if they did that would be cool

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Planets have gravity, both in PW and online, but I think it only *really* effects you when you fly really close.

I might start a devlog sometime, provided I find some kind of devlog/blog host, i'll post if I do.

Edit: Started a blog and added a pwo category. Then naturally the host has broke or something, so there goes that idea.

PixelWar Online now has it's very own site!!! Go to www.PixelWarOnline.com

Lol very good AI but they suck i beat them 100 to 1 lolz try to increase their difficulty perhaps? Lke making them shootlonger and maybe more weapons will be good too! Maybe a story line or story mode because just pactice mode is not that fun after a while. It kept me fgoing and i like it smooth gameplay original and fun! You also should make the pixels 2x2 or 3x3 instead of 1x1, it will make then game alot more chalenging but mostly fun and clear. The online version looks promosing hope you complete the page soon! Looking forward cfor another update! And finaly i give the game a 87%.

Regards, Kiefer

Hey everybody!

I'm really excited about the progress so far-- we now have a website, as you can see in Braxton's post. And yes, Braxton is now part of the Pwo development team, taking the webmaster position. (And doing a very good job of it I might add) As far as the beta goes, Toby is really happy about its progress, meaning it can't be too long until we have a working beta!

@ Keifer
Haha little do you know the ships really aren't 1x1 pixels. take a screen shot and see for yourself As far as updating Pixel War, it isn't going to happen-- I'm working on Pwo now, and I'm happy with the way Pw is on its own-- yes, there is room for improvement, but I'm done with it.

Well anyways, just giving you all a heads up!

Anything new?

[migileke]

This game rules! I beat 150 aliens all on my own (no allies)! Heheh. Then I wanted to try 500, got to about 450 but it lagged so much I decided to quit. I did a rollover (complete change of direction) right in the flow of rockets following me. Kaboom! XD Though the game is mostly built out of pixels, it's very beautiful! And the gameplay rules!

[mindcell]

your game rocks! it is so exciting and not only that but it is so original and fresh

[ryguydavis]

@ AvP
Hmm well I've been really busy lately-- I've been at school for 11 hours everyday for the past week taking an extra class and I get home and do homework and talk to my girlfriend and go to bed so I haven't had much time to talk to Toby to see what's up, but I do know that we are steadily moving along.

@ migileke
Thanks so much-- I'm happy to hear that

@ mindcell
Original is always very good to hear in a description of a game-- thanks a lot!

[Metroid48]

Hey, I'll test the PWO game. I posted on the forums, though I didn't make an account just yet.

Anyway, great game! Can't wait to see PWO! BTW, will this be an MMO which requires monthly payment? I noticed prices on the site.

Either way, see ya online!

Once we get enough content to make a decentish game, and have most things sorted out, we will start selling p2p accounts, and have items/areas/things just for them.
Of course, that wont be for a fair while yet =p

Ps, Beta testing forum is open on our forums. It's not compulsary to register at the forums, but it will really simplify things for us, and help us contact you (we can just send a mass-pm instead of email), even if you don't want to post around.

Thanks Metroid! Hopefully we'll have something for you to play soon It may be a while, so be patient, we'll just let you know when we have something to play.

[GhostyGhost]

this game is the best yet of what i've seen great job.

[pyrotek7x7]

Well geez, this has 25 pages and that's all? It's not that great...


I mean really, pretty sweet, but 25 pages for a simple little game like that?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well if you look at the date it was first posted, you'll see that it came out about a year and a half ago, so yeah, the posts have built up over time. Also, It has become the place of discussion for Pixel War Online, which accounts for much of this topic.

[Braxton]

Anything new?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Go to the site tg see whats new in our blogs (go to about us then click on our blogs)

Also you can go to the forums and there are forcast and what we are planning to do threads plus much much more!!!

[Braxton]

Anyway, great game! Can't wait to see PWO! BTW, will this be an MMO which requires monthly payment? I noticed prices on the site.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

There will be a free version which will be very basic with just a few features and it will be slower. Then the higher the price the more features and faster it will be

Pixel War Online Updates
Hi All! Long time no update huh? Well things have been moving lately, though only on weekends.. but a lot of the boring stuff is being taken care of and PWO is taking some real shape. You can actually sign up to be a beta tester now-- and we have an awesome website, made by the most recent addition to the team, Braxton!

What you can do now: We have reached a bump in the road as to what to do with the map system. I figured it would be best if those who will play the actual game voted on this, as it doesn't really matter to me or Toby, but is still essential. YOU CAN GO VOTE FOR WHICH STYLE YOU LIKE BETTER ON THE PWO FORUM HERE.

[shiggyman]

Wait, is something wrong, or does this awesome game not have any sound?

[ryguydavis]

No, nothing wrong-- there is just no sound. I justify this by saying that sound cannot travel through space, since there is nothing for the sound energy to move. I know that\'s kind of a lame excuse, but that\'s just how it is.
