We are developing the Civil War
shooter using the Torque Game Engine. We have recruited the core
development team and are making steady progress. There will not
be many news updates for this website, since most of our efforts are
going into developing the game.
Thank you to everyone who participated in
the Map Contest. We had a
number of maps submitted in various stages of development. The winning
map is by Kevin G. and is based on the Mechanicsville battle of June
26, 1862. We hope to include a version of this map, when we
publish the
game.
June 15th - August 15th, 2006 (Completed - Contest is finished)
Civil War Torque Game Engine map contest with prizes. We are
challenging the TGE community to create some cool maps for this Civil
War game.
<>The goal for the
Civil
War game will be to make a commercial video
game. Very few games find retail publishers, even commercial games
already in development are canceled by publishers. We are a small team
of developers that are realistic about the chances of finding a
publisher, and yet are still prepared and committed to making an
independent game. A game we can self-publish if necessary.
If you have experience making games using TGE and would like to be
considered for the team, then contact James Finn at
fineas@prodigy.net.
Be sure to include links to examples of your work.
