Paintball Party 2 Demo Released

Posted by Todd on February 24 2010, 6:50pm

We have just released a demo of our upcoming game Paintball Party 2. This demo is just a taste of what's to come in the full game. Because PP2 has legacy support for content from the first game and developing the new content could take a while we decided to release a demo for everyone to play with while we work on the new content. The final game will have all-new graphics, levels, characters, and music. A test character is included which demonstrates the new player capabilities, particularly 8-directional aiming. Legacy characters also have new abilities, such as strafing and jumping through semi-solid surfaces. Head over to the Paintball Party 2 project page for additional information and download links.

Food Boy returns for the holidays

Posted by Travis on Dec 22 2006, 7:17am

I've spent the last couple of days working on a new Java Food Boy Christmas game, fittingly titled Food Boy Christmas 2006. It's kind of unfinished, but I figured I'd go ahead and post it here before the 25th came around. Rest assured that there are many falling treats to ingest, along with bombs to avoid. I can't say whether high scores and sounds are working properly, since I haven't had much time to test it.

Hope everyone gets a few minutes of amusement out of it anyway :)

vGolf Progress

Posted by Travis on Sep 29 2005, 3:37am

We're working on updating vGolf some more, mostly graphically, but also in terms of gameplay and other features. Here are a couple of screenshots of the new course graphics. The first is from a new course called Seabreeze Straits, and the second is a revamped version of the original course, using vector graphics:

August 19th, 2005

I've revamped the site a little bit to hopefully bring some more focus to all the games from NewCreature Design as well as the future projects we're working on. The Games page looks a lot nicer now.
Also moved all the old DOS games to a Classic Games page.

August 14th, 2005

T^3 and NewCreature Design will be merging soon. Todd's old site is inaccessible right now, but you can access all of NewCreature's projects at ncdgames.t3-i.com. I might end up overhauling t3-i.com in the near future to make everything more cohesive.
Added an oven-fresh download to the newly-released update of vGolf.

August 8th, 2005

The collaboration with NCD Games brings you vGolf v0.5. This new, more polished version includes some nice new stuff like actual vocal commentary, much-improved physics, experimental online play, as well as 3 courses to putt around in. If you want a direct link to the download, here it is. Hopefully we'll be working on some more projects together in the future, since this one seems to have turned out so well.

August 1st, 2005

After a long wait, here's a new Food Boy Comic.
Keep checking NCD Games in the coming days and weeks for a new release of vGolf, along with a shiny new course that's hopefully a few notches below the last Space-themed course in the frustration department.
I was going to add some new sketches, but my scanner's on the fritz right now. I'll probably have a bunch of new stuff up there in the near future, though.

July 10th, 2005

Added an option to show all the scores for Word Mix on the games page.
Uploaded the latest version of an Ack-Ack Attack clone called Siege. It's still pretty incomplete (you can't die yet, collision problems, etc.), but there it is if anyone wants to blow some stuff up.
Ran across a cool collection of tunes called Rise of the Star, a Kirby remix collaboration.
Todd from NCD Games has been working on implementing online play in vGolf, and we've ironed out pretty much all of the old bugs. After testing it, it plays pretty nicely, and hopefully we'll have a revamped release at some point in the future.

June 24th, 2005

Word Mix is pretty much done now.
Along the same vein, here's a random word search generator. It generates a printable word search puzzle given the parameters you specify.
Added both of the above to the games page.

June 20th, 2005

Added a test version of a Java word search game, Word Mix. It doesn't do anything after you clear the board, and timed gameplay isn't functional yet, but other than that, the game is practically done.

June 16th, 2005

Added some stuff to the music page.
I've been working on a Java crossword puzzle game, but I managed to make a php crossword program that spits out a printable puzzle from a formatted text file. Here's a test puzzle. The solutions are here.

June 9th, 2005

I added a message board to the front page for anyone who's interested in posting something.
Almost finished with Viper Java, but there are still a few bugs that need to be worked out. You can find it on the Games page.
Added some more random drawings. I think most of the links on the site are working properly now also.

May 29th, 2005

Changed the games page. Now there's a high score listing for the fbJava game.
Uploaded an early version a new game called Word-Type. It's kind of a cross between R-Type and Mavis Beacon. There's still a few bugs to work out, and high scores aren't implemented yet, but I'll probably have that finished within the next week.

May 23rd, 2005

It's been a little while, but T^3 now has a spiffy sorta-new homepage. The address is now http://www.t3-i.com.
There's still a lot of stuff that hasn't been finished on the site yet, so some links are probably broken. I'll probably have it all fixed up within a week or so, so stay tuned.
I've also added a new Sketches page, which will have scans of a bunch of random drawings I've managed to come up with. Most of them are pretty non-sensical, but I'm putting them here just in case anyone wants to take a gander at them.
