Ubuntu Game: Allacrost

This game looks awesome. Play it.
Me? I might play it in a few days... maybe.

Game Development Camp

This year, the games made at the Game Development Camp (yes, there is a camp for that) were made open-source and are available at the camp website, more specifically, this page: http://game.unf.dk/games2008.php

These games were said to be made in Blender, and I expect Ubuntu users will want to try them out. I have not tried any of them out, but I think Quad Fighter will be fun.

My Absense

I have not played a lot of games lately. That is my excuse for being absent the past month or so. I do want to mention two games made in PyGame, though...

Ardentryst
This is one of the greatest Python-powered games I've seen, and it puts my Flash-powered Syboard Adventures to shame. I highly suggest trying this game, because it works on any system with Python and PyGame installed.

SolarWolf
This is one of the most impressive games I've played from PyGame's site, and it looks awesome in fullscreen mode. I highly recommend it, and I'm taking glances at the source code to learn from it. It's that good.

Okay, one more...

Chromium
Another fast-paced, top-down, arcade style shooter, this is great, well, I haven't tried it, but it looks nice. It's made for Linux users, based on an old DOS game, and there's a Windows version. This is not made using Python at all.

All these games are kid friendly. That's all I can think of right now, though. Hope you enjoy them. Bye.
