Looking at the Bootleg Demakes Compo

TIGSource's latest competition, the Bootleg Demakes Compo, has finally come to an end.

There's a record number of submission this time around, whether it's because this kind of event is getting more popular or because it takes less effort to make a low-res crappy game is beyond me.

With that said, this time the theme is to take a game or series or whatever, turn it into an "old-school" style game. The concept is great, but don't expect anything with out-of-this-world graphics or gameplay this time around.

Everyday Shooter Finally Released (As It Should Have Been Released Many Months Ago)

Edit: It seems like with D2D, you still need to do activate the game by connecting to the D2D servers after installing on a computer for the first time, meaning no internet, no play. As a result...basically everything in this post have no meaning anymore.

IndieGames Blog reports that the PC version of Queasy Games' award-winning abstract shooter Everyday Shooter has been released on Direct2Drive.

What does this mean? It means you can finally "own" the game without having to buy a PS3! They should have done this a long time ago! While this game was originally released for the PlayStation 3, surely there were people who wanted to play this but didn't want to buy an overpriced and at-the-time sucky PS3.

Ciellus News... Sort Of

More Ciellus news! Actually, it was really just a new screenshot, but it's worth talking about anyway!

Since a one-sentence post isn't really fun to read, here's more info about the game...remember how Ciellus was originally made for TIGSource's procedurally generated game contest? This means some elements in the game will be procedurally generated, and in this case, it looks like the terrain/dungeons are it.

Looking at the screenshot, the terrain won't be all blocky a la most adventure games, instead there will be slopes and curves!

And that's all! Until next time.
