Anticipation is killing me!

July 16,2009 9:01 am

I can’t wait to show everyone what we are working on!  As well as working on the multiplayer aspect, we are working on the 1 player “campaign” mode which we’ll call something else…something cooler.  This portion of the game has exploded from a small mode into a whole game in and of itself.  It will double the value of the current game as it is and provide hours of gameplay for a single player.

The multiplayer also has a few big surprises, which we are excited to present.  Maybe I’ll leak a few screenshots soon just to give you a taste, or preview of what is coming down the line.  The 1.2 update should hit next week.  We will also be releasing a LITE version shortly after the 1.2 update, then it’s version 1.5 (we had so many features added, we skipped .3 and .4) which will include the campaign mode, then version 2.0 will be the multiplayer.

More on the Campaign mode later.

So, stay tuned…I’ll be updating shortly.  Just as a matter of curiosity…how many people actually read this?  Shoot me a quick comment or email to let me know you’re out there.

 

multiplayer will rock :) thank you guys

I for one am following the blogs :)

The updates sound wicked - something extra for a single player is a totally exciting prospect!

Hope there’s plans for a PC release soon too (I’d massively recommend you research using steam as a launch platform as it’ll get massive exposure and frankly if archon used steamworks the friend to friend multiplayer would be a huge benefit personally!!

Keep it up : stunning work :)

I always keep up with what you are up to since you brought me my favorite game.

Is it too early to wish for a port of Archon II? More strategery, steerable wizard shots, and the fun of shot-bending air plane.

Anyway: yes, here, watching. :)

Ok, stop it already. Or come out with a version for OSX… Don’t make me go buy an ipod touch to get my archon fix…

this game is in my top ten of all games from commodore 64 days - keep up the hard work I’m excited to try this game on PC or game systems!!

I read your updates. Archon is a blast! The controls are not quite as easy for me as the old PC game; I think it’s just an IPhone thing. I’m looking forward to the PC version.

Check every few days. After my old mp3 player disappeared, Archon is one of the reasons I got an iTouch. Great job!

Yeah, I’ve been here since the beginning, waiting on the PC version (I don’t have an iPhone). At least the people who do are enjoying it.
