24.04.2012  Filefront censorship Gestapo at it again . . .



Click for a larger version

Taken from this POTD.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, the Filefront critisism Gestapo is at it again. Those boys and girls simply do not like it when you have some justified critisism regarding the way they "handle" their operation and they will go at great lengths to shut you up.

Looks like Filefront (or Gamefront as they call themselves these days) has become the digital equivalent of harsh regimes currently found in China, North Korea, Birma, Zimbabwe, Iran and these days also Syria, which is nothing new since I have stated that on multiple occasions in the past and it is evident now that their behaviour will not change in the foreseeable future.

That is why I would like to urge everyone not to use Filefront anymore and to remove all content you may have uploaded there in the past. It seems that they will not listen to their userbase, maybe they will start listening when faced with diminishing users and page visits and as an optimist, I can only hope that they will start to listen to their userbase or that Break Media decides to cut their losses, hopefully the latter . . .

13.04.2012  New project: Battlestar Aurelia
--- PRESS RELEASE --- FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION ---
April 13th, 2012

PREVIEW OF APPRENTICE'S LATEST PROJECT FOR THE IDTECH3 ENGINE: "BATTLESTAR AURELIA"

Apprentice is proud to present a preview for his latest project named the "Battlestar Aurelia". Inspired by not only Star Trek but also a various scala of Sci-Fi sources, the successor of the Asteroid Base series, the Battlestar Bellerophon and the U.S.S Leonov maps, aims to combine the diversity and technical achievements of all my previous Elite Force releases into a single map.

Originally, this map was developed for Elite Force and specificly the RPG-X modification. However, due to questionable decisions made by the RPG-X developers and their unwillingness to resolve this which has resulted into my current status as untermensch, I have decided to port this map towards another game that makes use of the idTech3 engine and finish it accordingly. It is as of yet undetermined which game it shall be but stay tuned for further updates.

The first screenshots of the cancelled RPG-X version are available through the Screenshots page.

10.02.2012  Star Trek: Asteroid Base [Phase II] event

Roleplaying group The Last Outpost will hold this Sunday (February 12th) their Star Trek: Asteroid Base [Phase II] event, for which they will be using my original Asteroid Base map.

This event will start at 19:00 GMT and as always, the map can be downloaded from the Download page if you haven't it already. Have fun!

18.01.2012  Download page updated

Today a much needed overhaul has taken place on the Download page.

Besides removing dead links, I have decided to discontinue various versions of several maps, namely Asteroid Base II and Asteroid Base - Redone. The only versions that will remain are the full versions, which includes all previously available seporate releases.

01.01.2012  Happy new year
Happy new year :)
