We started developing this game after creating some recreational as well
as professional browser based games. Getting a little fed
up with the limitations of the browser and 2D in particular we decided
to start shopping around for a 3D game-engine.
After a little snooping Roy found some guys in England putting
out Dark Basic. It was in our
ahem...price range and allowed
you to create custom elements without having to have a rocket science degree.
We began by taking "the tank game", which we thought was
one of the more successful demos they had posted on the DB site, and trying to see if
we could pump up the graphics and add some more variety in the game play.
After some time we began to add a first
person shooter level, more complex interface elements, and a reasonable
attempt at a story line. We hope some of you will take the time to
download the game, and see what can be done by two guys with a love
of 3D gaming (who are also desperately trying to avoid a social life).
We hope you're surprised, and will consider doing some development
of your own.
