For the latest information about Prowler Productions' largest game project yet, click the promo image above. Coming later in 2001!

  Sunday, July 22nd, 2001: Hosting Another Game; Advertising; More!
      Prowler Productions is happy to announce that we're now hosting another browser-based multiplayer game, The Colonies. Try it out by clicking their banner, below.

      We're finally giving "advertising" a shot, on what's probably the best site for independent game listings and news coverage (mpogd.com). We started with two banners for Lunatix Online (LUNATIX1 and LUNATIX2), but found that the second banner was getting twice the clicks as the first one. A few visitors of our forum also indicated they liked the second one best, so we removed LUNATIX1 from the rotation. Because everybody seems to like "free" stuff, we're also adding a banner for The Prowler Portal which can be seen HERE.

      For those who are curious, yes, StarLock is still in development. It has been my primary focus for many months. As always, it's coming along nicely but nothing has been set for a release date (or even an exact open beta date). The official page needs an update, which has simply been less of a priority than actually working on the game. Some of the new developments include MIDI (probably the first/only browser game with an original musical score - let alone music at all) which can easily be disabled for those who prefer a quiet game. More graphics -- Improvements to the engine -- It's becoming more MUD-like, and should really appeal to fans of RPG, MUDs, Sci-Fi, and Interactive Fiction.

 
  Sunday, July 8th, 2001: New Online AND Offline Games
      I wrote a game called WaterQuest (Legend 1: The Journey to LifeLake) more than 10 years ago, during the second semester of my first year of college. This is a cool, challenging, single-player EGA action/adventure game which has just been gathering dust on a diskette (literally), unreleased before now. I had planned to sort out some data space problems that prevented it from being "compiled" into a stand-alone .exe game (so that it wouldn't require the QBASIC.EXE interpreter). Well, I've finally decided just to release it as-is. You can download the full version of WaterQuest 1 (complete with source code) from my Games page. Click the image below to view a page of screenshots.

[WaterQuest 1 (ScreenShots)]

      You'll need QB.EXE (or QBASIC.EXE, available for free from Microsoft) to play, as well as a utility such as Mo'Slo (or SLOWDOWN.COM, which is included) to slow down a DOS window on today's MUCH faster computers to emulate a 25Mhz machine. See the README.TXT first for information. Run the game via the WQ1.BAT file. I hope somebody out there might find this game enjoyable, even though it's old and outdated. Although it's difficult at first (two hits and you die), you'll find items to help protect you (to withstand 4 hits, and finally 8 hits), you'll learn to fire at (or avoid) monsters, and if you're brave enough, you'll find the fabled LifeLake! Remember to find and use the "SAVE" huts!

      Also available now, as mentioned previously, is the Open-Source game BlackNova Traders. Prowler Productions is hosting a copy being run by Morkeleb. Check it out, and see if you've got what it takes to become a master trader, and dominate the galaxy!

  Thursday, June 21st, 2001: All the web-gaming you can handle - and MORE!
      We've just moved (again) to a new server. Now, instead of sharing a powerful system's resources with 20 or 30 other high-traffic sites, we have full use of a dedicated server that's even more powerful than the previous shared one! The move was pretty fast, all things considered, at around three days to move and configure the entire site and all the games. So far, things are zooming! This is the major step we needed to make in order to have the resources to launch StarLock later this year. This also means lag-free play for every game we host! We couldn't do this without the subscription income from Lunatix Online, so if you're here for the free games, please give Lunatix a look as well (you do get ONE two-week free trial period - no obligation - to check it out).

      We've recently traded links with The Violet Sector, a very cool web-based multiplayer game from The Vision Studios:

Their site states:

The Violet Sector is a FREE multi-user, multi-platform turn based game. Join a legion and battle against other players all around the world for domination of the galaxy! Strategise and team up with friendly pilots to dominate sectors and hyper to new areas to beat the enemy.

      In other big news, Morkeleb is about to set up and administer an Open Source game called "Black Nova Traders" (appearently a web-based game similar to and inspired by the classic TradeWars BBS game). Look for this game to be added to the Prowler Portal soon - he's hosting it here - sponsored by Prowler Productions and Lunatix Online.

      We also want everybody to know that StarLock is still in development. We are expecting to begin beta testing within a few months - perhaps by late summer or early fall (nothing definite though). A bigger, official update will be posted to the StarLock page (with new screenshots and info) soon. I doubt any other browser-based game has been in development for so long. Most browser-based "space" games are heavily slanted toward strategy (build up a base, attack, take over the galaxy). StarLock isn't like that at all. As an RPG, it takes much more time to plan and develop than a strategy game. We're certain it will be worth your wait, and something unlike anything you've seen before. :)

      If you're a Lunatix Online player - or if you've EVER played, we have big news. In Spring 2002, the first-ever REUNION will be held in Wichita Kansas (the home of Prowler Productions). Many players are already excited, making plans to attend. For a game with a comparatively small player base, the response to this has been wonderful! For all the details, keep an eye on the offical reunion site. at the link above.

      With the distribution of our last batch of t-shirt prizes, we're now offering a variety of other prizes to Lunatix Online winners. Beat the game and take your pick from cool Lunatix ball-caps, mouse pads, or desk clocks (my personal favorite). Although t-shirts are no longer offered as prizes, you still have the option of picking 2 free months of subscription time as your prize. The Prize Page will be updated soon to detail and display these new prizes. As a bonus, when you pick a prize (except for free time), you get a couple of bonus freebies.
