We’ve decided to host a ‘Deadworld Gaming Night’ on Sunday the 29th of January. We think this is a good chance to enjoy shooting our community – what better way to relax right? The schedule is as follows…

• 1PM GMT / 2pm CET / 5am PST – The Hidden: Source (Halflife 2 Mod)
• 3PM GMT/ 4pm CET / 7am PST – Enter the 1000 player FPS world record attempt
• After the World Record Attempt- Continue with The Hidden: Source (Halflife 2 Mod)

The gaming night is an open offer to anyone who would like to play with us. We will be gathering in our IRC channel #deadworld at irc.globalgamers.net. We hope to see you there!

What madness is this? Two Mechadroid releases within half a year of each other and four weeks none the less?! That’s right! Here is Mechadroids release 0.3.0!

A few exciting things have happened in the past three weeks. Our community member Inveracity has been very busy creating us a Mechadroid launch video for the previous version 0.2.0 and a full length Mechadroids theme tune! Our community is growing and we’re making good progress.

So, what have we thrown together for this release? A few exciting things. Firstly we have tweaked the balance of the game so try it out and see how it has changed. We have also added a contact system for friends and foes. You can now add players as a friend or foe using a long click anywhere you see a player name. This allows you to track how well you’re doing against your friends and allow you to attack people anywhere you see a name! In addition to this the detailed battle has new messages that are unique to each weapon and shield. It gives you important information regarding your foe’s armour weak points. Next time you fight it might be worth checking them out to get the upper hand in a fight!

Here is the full changelog…

Merry Christmas from Deadworld Studios! We hope everyone enjoys their holiday/break away from the real world for a bit.

It looks like another year has come and gone. Looking back it’s amazing how fast Christmas has come around. It doesn’t seem that long ago that we attended ‘World of Love 2′ conference at the start of the year. We continued work on Root Access, then paused it in favour of Mechadroids. We released Mechadroids and, come end of the year, are pushing it harder than ever!

As always we wouldn’t have got this far if it wasn’t for the support of our community. We’ve added a few people to it over the past year and they’ve become valued members! The feedback, ideas and support that they provided is what helps push us to keep going.

So, what does the coming year hold for us? Lots. We’re going to attend ‘Bit of Alright’ indie games conference in London and push out lots of updates for Mechadroids now we’re working fulltime on DWS. Mechadroids will be released onto the Android market.

We’re positive about this coming year. Now… lets get on with it right?
