Hey guys, I'm just updating to let you know things are still ticking away behind the scenes over at SilverNova. A lot - if not all - of us are busy with school, college, work and just life in general! Most of us are still working on projects in our spare time too - but I know that for one I've been really snowed under. Mirage and my whole pile of other projects are still coming along fairly well, if not a little slowly.

I haven't heard much from Jake on the game development side of things, but I'm sure he's chugging away when he can. Ricky? He's working on school stuff, since he goes to the same school as me etc. Jay's been out living life, at least that's what he says. Mike's been keeping busy as he is in college now (hooray) and in his own words "i'm awesome". I haven't heard from our good friend Attan in a long time, Alspal hasn't been around for a bit - but he is taking a break from making games I think. It's his final year of school, so he has to concentrate more - and finally Hempuli, FIG is allllllmost complete now (so close you can taste it) so keep on the look out!

Sorry to wait so long between updates, but I keep forgetting and Tim's got college and a job to see to.

Well! Most of us have been busy with making games, but all of us have been busy with attending to real-life recently

Jake has been working on Jamie's Revenge 2! I'll update this post soon with some screenshots. I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard wonders about it It's certainly come a long, long way since the first game! All playable characters have their certain special abilities and movements but who knows what else Jake has in store for this game? We do! So check back here for more information in our next post!

Tom will be set free to work on Mirage again with Ben and I at the end of this month / early next - hurrah!! Once Tom is back with us we can start the ball rolling once again and make some considerable progress and release a video of the engine etc, too!

Attan has been working on his game - the name of which is really cool and original, so I wont announce it just yet - until noteable progress has been made. But, the entire storyline has been planned and written and my what a story it is!! Quite the novelist, is our Attan! Can't wait to see this project piece together!

Alspal is working on something which LOOKS like it might be Ainevoltas 3!! Can it be?! We'll let you know soon Arvi (Hempuli) has finished a few more levels on FIG now, too! 25 levels down, 10 more to go! Creating the levels is a strenuous process for this type of game, but he's making steady progress and is well on-target for his aspired release date

Watch this space for exciting news coming soon! Once again, thanks for visiting everyone!

Hempuli brings us a demo of his new game -

"Because there were so many requests for a demo, I managed to create a version with the first five levels, the credits-section and half of the tutorial. The demo shows all the basic stuff that appear in the game, though there's nothing really cool like in some of the later levels I have to keep at least some things secret to the public release!

The game uses just mouse and it's left button, but if you want to get irritated you can also use esc or enter for some stuff. Notice also that every level has a 'restart' and 'quit' buttons in the bottom-right corner."

Not an april fools this time You can download the demo right here (filesize: 1.5mb). Remember to give us a shout in the shoutbox, and tell us what you think so far!!

Thank you for visiting! More news coming soon!

Hey all, quite a lot has been going on lately. Not as much as there has been before! But we're still making games, hehe.

First off, in my free time I've been working on this game called 'Muddles' (the monkey). I'm hoping to make a typical little exploration platformer out of it with some cool minigames inside and with being a monkey, there comes some special monkey abilities that will be fun to include Progress is slow, but continuous.

Alspal has been working away quietly on another project! As you can see from the title, this one is pretty extreme! I can't wait to see how this one works out... It'll play like the old classics, such as MarioKart (snes) and Outrun, etc. Check back for more information on that soon!!

Mirage is still awaiting Tom before we can continue working on it. We've all been busy with 'life' at the moment, but come the summer holidays - it's NON-STOP-Mirage-working-on-ness-madness haha! Well, within reason Once we get the main character sorted out we'll release a short video of the game so far - the solid, smooth engine, in-game features, abilities, graphics and soundtrack.

Hempuli's "FIG" is also coming along very well! He's currently working on level 23 out of 35! Five of which are secret levels! We can't wait to release this game, it's going to be awesome - no doubt!

On a side-note, I have just created a new website! It's for everyone to post news on their games and progress of them etc, and everything else to do with the indie gaming world! So check it out and submit your news at www.toastface.com
