Bazinga Productions

Since I currently don't have the time to work on Return of the Warlord, I thought I should upload the latest Version.

So here it is:
Download (Max OS X)
Download (Windows/Linux)

There are sadly no new Features in this Release, but we did fix some Bugs.

For more Information on how to start the Game and play it, look at the Gamepage of RotW:
Return of the Warlord


I'm also working on a new Game with Helga! That's why I don't have much time for RotW, but Island Jumper is definitely more successful, so I thought I should create another small Game with Helga. I'll write more about the new Game later, but the Basis is already pretty much done.

Although it has been a little quiet around here in the last few weeks we are still working on RotW!

Right now we are working on implementing a new Physics-Engine (JBullet-JME) and to give you a first impression, I made a short video showing some of the features:



Without the Recording-Software RotW runs fluently with 60 FPS.

I hope you like it.

The first public Beta of Return of the Warlord is online!

You can download it here:
Download (Max OS X)
Download (Windows/Linux)

Playing the Game is pretty simple:
Just download the Game for your Platform and start it. If you use Mac OS X you have to doubleclick the RotW-File.
Windows Users just have to doubleclick the RotW.bat and Linux users should use the RotW.sh.
You can also start the Game with in console with the following command:
java -jar -Djava.library.path=lib/ -Xmx512M RotW.jar (you have to be in the directory of the RotW)


In the Game you can run around with WASD, jump with Space, switch between the Weapons with the Mousewheel or with 0-9.
With the Portal-Weapon you can fire an Entry-Portal with the left mousebutton and an Exit-Portal with the right mousebutton.

You can enter a Vehicle by typing "e" and you can type a Message by typing "t".


If you want to open a Server you will need to open Port 8011. Otherwise it won't work.

You want to show your Score to your Friends? No Problem! You just have to register here. After you're registered you have to login and go to Userpanel -> RotW Settings, enable Statistics and set a Gamecode. Then you have to type your Username and Gamecode into the Game and that's it.
Now your Statistics will be saved!


Please write us if you find a Bug!
If you want to play against me, just write me. I hope you are having fun with the Game!

Actually I wanted to release a public Beta of RotW today, but I got some great Ideas and so I'm currently working on a couple of new Features.

But I can already present you some new Features.




First of all, we got another new Game Mode called Treasure Hunt!
In this Game Mode you have to try to get all the Treasures, that are hidden somewhere in the Level, but if someone else kills you, you loose all your Treasures again.
As you can see in the Screenshot on the right hand site, the Treasure is currently a Flag.



We are also working on improving the Graphics.

To achieve a better Graphics we added a BloomRenderer to the Scene and played around with some Fog.
We also included some Water, like you can see on the Screenshots! Right now the Player is just falling thru the Water, but we are working on making the player swim.




And, as always, if you got some Feature-Request or want to help us (we still need help with the Modelling- and Design-Stuff), write us!

As you maybe have already seen in the Statistics there is something new!
We included a new Game mode. Currently it's called Defend Your Base. Your Aim in this Game Mode is to defend your Base from the Zombies, who are trying to conquer your Base. You can either try to defend it alone or you can also play together with other Players against the Zombies, but be careful not to shoot each other.
In the Screenshot you can see your Base (the Flag) and the Zombies who are trying to conquer your Base. But don't get too close to the Zombies, because they might shoot you ;)

In the Statistics we save the time of how long you were able to protect your Base. After some time it's getting pretty hard, because the Zombies are getting more and stronger over time.

So to sum it up there are currently the following Game Modes:

• Defend Your Base
  
• Capture the Zombie
  
• Deathmatch
  
• Team-Deathmatch
  

If you are looking closely there are also two other new things in the Screenshot:

First we included a Radar, so you can see your Teammates (you can't see the Opponents) and the Zombies, who are trying to conquer your Base.

The other thing is a new Item. With this Item your shoots do double the Damage as normal for 1 Minute (we might change this time).


That's about the new Stuff for the Game. We also continued translating this Page. Most of it should be in English now.


I hope you like our new Features and if you have a Suggestion for a new Game Mode or a new Item just write a Comment ;)

The first public Alpha of Return of the Warlord is online!

You can download it here:
Download (Max OS X)
Download (Windows/Linux)

Playing the Game is pretty simple:
Just download the Game for your Platform and start it. If you use Mac OS X you have to doubleclick the RotW-File.
Windows Users just have to doubleclick the RotW.bat and Linux users should use the RotW.sh.

Now your Statistics will be saved!


Furthermore you can probably see that many Parts of this Site are still German. Since this CMS currently only exists in German we have to translate everything. We are working on it, but i think most of it should be self-explanatory, but if you got a question don't mind asking.


Since it's still a early Version of the Game there are probably Bugs in the Game.
If you find a Bug, please report it to us!
You can just post it in the Board or write a Comment to this News.

I would be happy to play against you! So if you have time and want to play, just contact me and we can play against each other.

We just implemented a new Feature into the Game:

Online Statistics!

If you would like to show everyone how good you are you can just sign up here (not yet, but as soon as the Game is released) and active Online Statistics.
The Game will automatically send your latest Scores and the amount of time you played to us and you can show it to everyone e.g. with a banner like this:


(As you can see i die a lot while working on the Game ;) )

Or you can look at the best Players in the Game in an Highscore-List.

We are still alive and working on the Game, but since the exams are getting closer and closer every day we only have limited time to work in the Game.

But we stil managed to integrate some new Features into the Game. So here is a quick Overview over the new Features.

Beside some minor changes and Bugfixes we implemented two new Weapons:

A Smoke Grenade:




And a Grenade:





We also integrated Vehicles into the Game!
Now you can drive around with a Car in the Game. We are planning on integrating a couple of other Vehicles in the Game, but currently there is only on available:

We finally figured out a Name!
The Game will be called:
Return of the Warlord
I hope you like the Name.

But we didn't only got a name for the game, we also continued working on the Game.

For Example we integrated Terrain in the Game, so the Buildings don't fly in the air. So now the Buildings are integrated in a nice Terrain with some Mountains, like you can see in the Screenshot!





We also created Elevators for the Game. So if you are too lazy to use the stairs you can use the Elevator, but the Elevator isn't always obvious. The Elevator could be a Box, like in the Screenshot, or maybe he is invisible?






You are bored of the usual Game Modes like Capture the Flag?
Then we got something new for you:

Capture the Zombie!

Instead of trying to catch a Flag, that's always at the same Location and is most of the time easy to find, we thought it should be a little more dynamic. So in Capture the Zombie you have to capture the Zombie, who is moving around, and bring him to your own Zombie, who is also moving around.





Here are another Couple of Pictures for you:
