                       EMPIRE-3 V1.0.

  Finally, your humble servant, together with the ACTION group,
released the game EMPIRE-3. The genre of the game can be defined as
RTS, in addition to everything on the disc there is a role-playing game option. The game itself
only works on PENTAGONE-512, alas, I didn’t have the patience
deal with the memory driver.  If anyone wants this
I'll be glad to fix it. All files on the disk are devoid of any
protection, I created an open code architecture so that hackers could
It's easier to dig into it.
  The game itself according to the scenario is a continuation of the first two
parts. The plot is simple. There lived on a certain planet, there were certain tribes
- barbarians.  After the death of the earth, people chose for themselves exactly
this wild, but still cozy planet. In this world the laws of physics
different from those on earth.  Therefore, witchcraft is possible here and
magic.  Earthlings are a technological race, but not aggressive, refugees
from the ground they are mostly scientists. Barbarians are cruel, but
stupid.  Seeing the aliens and their strange iron machines, they
decide to destroy them. This is where the first mission of the game begins.
for the children of the stars!
  Among other things, I tried to make independent
creatures, so to speak, local flora and fauna. These are spiders, demons and
even the angels who decided to help earthlings survive on this
planet.  The funniest character in the game is this huge one
spider queen  By myselfis absolutely not hostile to herself, but here she is
children...
  In addition, I implemented bunkers and tanks in the game that can
go into siege mode.  What already makes this game
similar to STAR CRAFT.
  The game has several unpleasant glitches that are not
fatal but spoil the overall impression of the game a little,
I hope this is compensated by playability.  I myself
I admit I don’t play my own games, but this game is an exception. More
The overall impression is spoiled by my Russian language. Consider it mine
style;)

                      EMPIRE-3. V.1.1.

  This product was not thrown out to the masses, but is distributed
by the editors of the newspaper PARAGRAPH.  The main difference from the first version is
that this game runs on all computers with memory no less
128 kilobytes.  I made it a month after the first one came out
versions.  In this game you can only play as the children of the stars. Except
Moreover, due to lack of memory, the game is completely devoid of sounds.
  If you have already played the 512th version, then you may think
interesting and this version is like new missions for the children of the stars.

                           Stupidity.

  I worked on the game for half a year, half a year of hard work.
Alexander Shushkov (editor of the newspaper PARAGRAPH), promised me for her,
about three thousand rubles.  For the second part of the game I received
one and a half thousand instead of the promised three.  But the second part is not
playable, I understand that and I’m not offended by the fact thatthe fee was
not complete.  But gentlemen, the third part is an order of magnitude higher than
the second, and in the end they want to silence your humble servant
five to a hundred rubles!   Actually because of fucks like this
Alexander Shushkov, I threw all my projects online. Except
128th version of the third empire.
  Of course, Alexander needs to feed his family, but he doesn’t have money.
earns little, but why the hell bother promising then?
this same money? But it was not I who contacted him, but he himself found
my address and sent a letter with a business proposal to develop
game for three thousand wooden ones!  I think that's it for us
cooperation ends. I'd rather still do it
games and throw them online. You won't make money from this, but
honestly to hell with the money when it comes to me
so many letters.  Actually, these letters stimulate me to
further creativity.

                          FIRE&ICE.

  Another good event this year, the publication of this
wonderful logic toy.  There is already a lot about her
wrote, I can say the same as the others. Amazing
graphics, cool design and good music
make this toy a hit. But to be honest, for me personally
the game turned out to be too difficult, it's interesting to watch, and
It’s hard to relax while listening to it. Logic games,
not much on their ownpopular, so to speak, not too long
mass.
  In general, gentlemen, as I said above, this is a HIT!

This is the news! You can feel the fact that the scene is breathing, but it does it somehow painfully. Most projects fail at the very beginning. I personally saw three amazing projects go to waste this year. This is a WAR game, RTS genre. In the game you could run around the map and fight with enemies, but the person known to the masses as DEMICHRON was unable to bring the project to completion. I'm telling you for sure, this game could be the HIT of the year.
  I also saw the project HEROES-3.  Used in the game
non-standard video mode. Printing was carried out on two screens,
which increases the color capabilities of the car. And so that the screen
did not flicker, you could press F7 in the STELS emulator. Already in the game
the battle engine was worked out, but it didn’t go beyond that
moved.
  In Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Mikhail Gamaev, as far as I know
known to still be making its own RTS, called Nuclear
threat.  I haven’t seen the demo yet and, unfortunately, I don’t know
how things are going with him.

            This concludes the news review.
