The droids I’m looking for? Maybe.

This is what you get when you marry two hugely successful entertainment genres — a Star Wars flavoured Angry Birds game.

Actually, it’s kinda fun 😉 but with all the different Star Wars things these days, my memories of the original films is kinda growing murky. Did Luke have a beak? Or was it more yellow and rounded like a Lego MiniFig…

Anyway, here’s the promo video for the most recent iteration of the Angry Birds game.

To the Mun and back.

If you’re into the Kerbal Space Program (as you’ll no-doubt have noticed I am) you’ll appreciate this video of a trip to Mun and back, set to appropriate music. The video also shows off some of the really great graphics and images possible with this sandbox style game. Fun!

Coolest indie game in development – update and video!

My recent fling with the Kerbal Space Program is getting more serious; they’ve released the much-anticipated 0.7 update that includes lots of cool stuff, including:

Several new Planets and Moons, for a total of 14 Celestial Bodies.
Multiple game saves support.
Tutorials and Scenarios.
Several new Parts, including a NERVA Engine.
Internal Cockpit Views on several cockpits.
Center of mass, thrust, lift and drag visual cues on the construction scenes.
Physics Warp: An alternate time-warp mode where you can accelerate time to 2x, 3x and 4x without putting the sim on rails.
Much improved visuals in space.

Full details here.

And a new video, just because!
