Side Project...

I recently found this really awesome game on GameDev.net: Action Cyborg...

After playing it for hours on end, I realized that I was totally addicted. I saw a lot of potential in the game. Unfortunately, however, the game isn't finished. I found out that the creator, Kada2k6, is now looking for level designers. I emailed him about getting the level editor, so he sent it to me...

I'm now working on a level set that I'll be sending to him. Hopefully he'll like the levels enough to put them in the game. Even if he doesn't, I'll upload them for people to play anyway. Woohoo! A project that I can get done within a month or two!

So, for all you developers out there, if you email him (or PM him on GameDev), he'll probably send you the editor. It's an awesome tool that has special features that most tile-based editors don't include. Check it out!

First Post!

Hey gamers,

Welcome to the official blog of Kevlar Games...

I'm KG_Brad, and I'll be posting here frequently about how things are going with our current projects:

Macabre - A first person shooter that takes elements from horror classics such as The Hills Have Eyes and The Texas Cahinsaw Massacre. 3-D shooters are always unpredictable when in the early stage of development, so don't expect to see Macabre until sometime in 2008.

Project: Undead - A sidescrolling platform game that puts you in a world taken over by zombies and demons... and then makes you destroy them! This is still in the planning stage, but will most likely be finished in Q4 2007.

All of our games are shareware-indie titles, meaning that you can try a portion of the game and decide if you want to pay and unlock the rest of it. It's an old concept that goes back to the early 80's, but it's still a good way to support small developers without having to charge a lot of money. Each of our games will be priced anywhere from $10.00 to $15.00, not a cent more!
