Now, I don’t want to release too many details about Rovernet at this point, since the project is still under development and is just the ‘shell’ of a game, but I will tell you the basics. Rovernet will be a 2D platformer centered around a small robot, which has been sent to another planet. This robot’s goal is to explore the surrounding area, gather information, and collect samples from the environment. The game has a very solid physics system for the robot itself, as the robot is capable of both flying, using rocket boosters, and driving on terrain, using tank treads. The robot’s physics system is easy to grasp, and flying is accomplished with only three keys. When the robot is set on a flat surface, any lateral movements are accomplished with the treads instead of the rocket boosters. See the video in the Media Player for an illustration of how this works.

Also check out the three new remixes in the Media Player:

  • Tetris Theme Remix
  • Final Fantasy 7 Battle Remix
  • Final Fantasy 7 Prelude Remix

I would also like to inform everyone about our new experimental file hosting service called Minousoft File Upload. It is currently in beta.
