There havent been any new releases of Armok for almost a year,is the work on this title dicontinued?

That would be quite a shame considering the potential this roguelike has.

Yeah, Tarn decided it was just a whole lot more sensible(and fun) to maintain a message board wherein people could post about the game as if it WERE still being worked on than to actually continue sinking time adn effort into producing the game itself.

And I must say, he was absolutely right! I had some fun messing around with Armok and I imagine the complete game would have been LOADS of fun but I have had even MORE fun posting at these boards(just imagine how much fun these boards will be when THEY are completed!).

Anyways, I gotta run over and post at the Duke Nukem Forever boards(my favorite 1st person shooter!) so take care!

There's a game called Duke Nukem Forever?

No...but there are official message bards for the game that have been up for like 7 years and people still go there and chat about how cool the game will be when it is released. The discussion USED to be more about how cool it would be when 3D Realms decided on an engine for the game(they went from Quake II to Prey to something else then Unreal and now I am not sure what they finally decided on).

Posting in a forum for a game that will never exist is fun?
Not exactly my cup of tea.

But if you enjoy it then maybe you will want the check out this site (and its forum): http://www.starbasedelta.com/

And Stars! was so good as well... Which reminds me, I need to send the Toad a copy.

And I'm sure he's feeling very guilty about no Armok releases for a year. Aren't you Toad?

I believe Duke Nukem Forever uses the UT2K3 now. They apparantly thought that the UT engine they were using was too limited so they scrapped their 2 years+ work to that date and started over *again*. If I were a programmer at 3drealms I would have quit by now.

Next it will be the doom3 engine...  :roll:

Been working on Armok (fairly) consistently past 8 days...  still many things left to do.  The wear/takeoff interface is the current project, then some more graphics issues, then projectile bugs (again).  And other bugs.  Sounds about the same as my last report maybe, but progress has been made.

Im glad to hear this

sweet. And they should switch to the Doom3 engine. Anybody get a chance to play it yet? I was actually suprised at how good it is. I figured Doom3 was gonna be kind of like quake3, all gfx no substance, but I was really wrong. Of course since my comp is a piece I don't get to enjoy doom3 in its full splendor (gfx on low and I still get frame sputters every once in awhile), but it still looks really fantastic.
