Unfortunately it is a single player map since the SDK hadn't been released yet so we don't have coop, yet. As a note many of the beta testers told me that after playing my map they stopped playing single player doom 3 and only play my map. In addition, I have never been scared while watching a movie or playing a game, but I have to say that in my map at one particular point I got so scared that I paniced and jumped out the window. To sum it up, don't play this map if you have any heart problems, because the map is EXTREMELY thrilling. Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy. First Map Release from the Last Man Standing Doom 3 Mod! default

You're a god, but you're not the supreme god, and well, you sure in Vahalla want to be the big cheese in the sky. So what's a god to do? Send in the Krishnas? Direct mailers? No, you raise up some armies and start kicking the other gods arses until you're king of the hill. Of course doing such entails more than sending a stack over to your opponent to call down the pain on his warriors' heads.<br> In Dominions 2 players will raise armies, hire mercenaries, lay siege to strongholds, forge mystical items, pray for guidance, hunt down blood sacrifices, assassinate enemy leaders, cast spells, watch as heroes become known across the lands, reanimate corpses, cause an uprising, construct buildings, and much, much more. And all this before you break your fast! Definitely one of the most engrossing strategy games of 2003, if you can think it you can probably do it in Dominions 2."</i> </blockquote> <br> Publisher: <a href="http://www.shrapnelgames.com/illwinter/d2/">Shrapnel Games</a> (screenshots & info)<br> Developer: <a href="http://www.illwinter.com/index.html">Illwinter Design</a> "Dominions 2: The Ascension Wars" coming soon default

We will be fixing this soon. For right now, here is the current information on the Linux Client.<br><br>For those of us joining us late, the Linux client was not released with the Windows version. The Linux server was released shortly after the Windows version. As to why, the Mac and Linux versions of the game are being co-developed and our focus was on the Windows version for the June launch. Currently the Mac and Linux versions are in full development. The Mac version of the Toolset is being handled by MacSoft.

540 2 1999-08-04 10:38:42 <a href="mailto:redpingu@caramail.com">BLuPiNGu</a> has announced a new project, <a href="http://rocloiso.planet-d.net/creatures/download_fr.html">#demofr Creatures</a>. I presume the unusual name comes from the IRC channel that the game was born in. BLuPiNGu describes the game like this: <blockquote><i>In #demofr creatures, you give orders to your monsters, but as they are a bit stupid, they won't do exactly what did tell them. #demofr creatures can be played over a tcp/ip network. The game is fully skinnable, i think about adding mod support, there is no sound support yet but it will come. Yet there is only the mapeditor and a previous version of the server, but it is to make the source available to whoever wants to help. </i></blockquote> <a href="/images/creatures.gif"><img src="/images/thumbs/creatures.gif" align=right width=200 height=123></a> If you read French, you can find out more about the game <a href="http://rocloiso.planet-d.net/creatures">here</a>.
