Phroot, hit me up on skype I will get you a direct meeting with the desura agent. Let's see if we can help you get published tonight . Also, gamersgate

Hey guys, it's been a really long time since I have done this, and without going into too much detail it's due to me making a game. I won't but gushing about it either as that would be plain stupid and there is a whole post dedicated to it already. What I will do is go back to what I loved doing and talk about indie games I am having loads of fun with right now.

This month I am playing 3079, made by phr00t_.  First off, obligatory link to the game https://sites.google.com/site/3079game/ as well as some pics.


Now let's get the huge ugly elephant in the room it's attention. YES YES YES it looks like minecraft, ok? But it's a whole different game. As the creator himself states it is more of a fallout/minecraft crossover than anything. In fact, construction is only an afterthought.

There is a whole comprehensive skill system, with levelling and everything. Each item is randomized, so you could get an Engineers Sword +2 or a Medical sword. I once got a Jumping Sword and found myself jumping around a lot higher as well. Really incredible stuff and you can tell he has taken cues from other game's randomized loot systems in this respect, which is an awesome thing!

The game has a faction system, as well as a day/night cycle that keeps things interesting. It's always fun to go up a hill and hear a barrage of gunfire (oh yeah did I mention it's sci-fi!) and see a bunch of large monsters shooting at each other. While the graphics aren't the best in the world, they are quite fun to look at, and sniping a smiling brute from a mile away never gets old.

Oh, multiplayer, yeah, it has that too, so sink your teeth in ASAP.

Price: 8.99 $, that's a meal at mcdonalds guys, come on, tens of hours of fun with your friends!

I for one know that once I get around to buying a new game I'll be getting it. Oh yeah, everything I have played so far has been just from what I can piece together using the really neat demo he has on his main site. Go ahead and give it a spin!

Happy holidays everyone!

Guys, I really REALLY recommend this game!

Thank you so much man! We try very hard! 0.39 is right around the corner!
