Development paused :(

Saturday,22 May 2007

It's been quite a while since MacBomber was last updated. This is due my diploma thesis, which leaves me currently with no time to work on MacBomber any longer. However, if you would like to continue development, just drop me a mail! Hopefully i will have time to continue hacking soon...

MacBomber 0.5.1

Saturday,20 January 2007

MacBomber gets a small update:

  • Better particle effects.
  • Improved performance: MacBomber isn't such a CPU hog any more - well, at least most of the time ;)
  • A new shake effect, which looks a lot nicer than before.

MacBomber 0.5 is finished and ready to go !

Friday,4 December 2006

MacBomber has reached version 0.5 and it comes along with some nice additions:

  • Updated graphics.
  • "Badies" are now contagious (just hit another player while infected).
  • Support for native MacBook resolution (1280x800) where available.
  • Players can choose between three different viewpoints by pressing 1,2 or 3.
  • Games can be paused/unpaused by pressing the "p" key.
  • MacBomber pauses, whenever Mac OS goes to sleep.
As usual you can grab your copy here.
Due to time constrains MacBomber 0.5 will likely be the last major release for a while, however we plan to release smaller updates and bugfixes as time permits.

MacBomber version 0.4 is here!

Saturday,7 October 2006

A new version of MacBomber is ready. There have been lots of improvements under the hood, but also some noticeable ones:

  • Added a new gamemode "Wiley attacks!": After timeup Wiley will destroy the map square by square. Don't fall into the expanding void!
  • Added ingame music and a scorescreen fanfare (thx Dennis!).
  • Crates are blown into pieces when hit by an explosion.
  • Simplified player setup menu.
  • Macs don't look happy any more when bombed.
  • Nicer "Hurry Up!" Message during game.
Grab your copy and let me know what you think!
