A new version of the WIP shoot em up Xigon One has been released. Changes are:

– New Sounds FX now in game . added a HUD to the screen. changed the lives to ICON based ships.- Over all gfx clean up was done. Also added a”PRE-GAME”screen so you can be ready for combat.- Added MONEY Sprites for when you kill off a complete 6 enemy set.:) collect them to gain cash for the weapons upgrade shop iam working on.

The game is really starting to come along now so be sure to check it outhere.

New WIP’s from the game”Giana’s Return”.

Two weeks no WIP news. Shame on us! 🙂 We placed our power on finishing the game instead of updating this page, hopefully you guys out there understand that. The todays hot news: The sixth beta test has been completed today at 2:30am. A few minor fixes were necessary, therefore we need a seventh internal betatest, which will be hopefully done today at night and should be also the really last internal beta test. While reading these lines, you can be sure that the implementation of the Bonus-Stages is allready in progress. A couple of optical goodies were added to the game which gives it even a better look. SoundFX and graphics are on the way to be re-touched. More information soon… this time surly not two more weeks 🙂 – By the way… on the Giana’s Return Webboard there is currently a poll for which platform we should release the game first, make use of your voice 🙂

Real life things gettin’ too much at the moment. I can not manage to update PDRoms for a while, some of you might noticed that there weren’t any fileupdates the past months. Lack of motivation plus extreme real life stress keeps me away from taking care of this page. No worries, I’ll not close this page, nor I gonna give up PDRoms. I just really need to reduce stress. Keeping track of homebrewn releases, downloading, sorting&uploading them is just too much work. PDRoms hosting brought me also in financial problems recently, but well… There homebrewn game/apps/demo releases nearly every day and over 100 files are allready waiting to find their way to PDRoms. Just be patient…”Normal”service should return in around 2-3 months. – Kojote
