New Web Site Launched!
Catastrophy happened and I accidentally deleted the old web site template!!! So please help me ring in the new web site design.
Beta-Tester Fest!
We have had over 20 people request to be beta testers for SteamPunkOnline! This is awesome - I wish we had more of a game engine to show you and let you test :( We need:
- Graphic Designers who can make game images like these (download zip file)
- Content writers who are interested in SteamPunk, send story concept via our email on the contact page
SteamPunkOnline Game Engine - Version2!
After many, many hours of development and testing I am proud to announce a new Version2 of the SteamPunkOnline Game Engine. The game engine is built to run in browser program (Firefox, and yes unfortunately Internet Explorer - seeking Mac and other browser type testers).
The new game engine is built using PHP, AJAX, JavaScript and connects to a mySQL database. This is not entirely different than before, but the use of AJAX keep connections clean.
The Cogs of Development Move!
After much dust collecting on the code source for SteamPunkOnline, I've decided to pick up coding again regardless of whether we have graphic designers or story writers to develop the game. It won't build itself!
