The second development demo of Cormoon is ready.
This time we're showing off our new map editor, along with an interactive map.
Be sure to visit the Cormoon Development Forum. We're always interested in getting feedback.

Check out Uberwaffe's Cormoon comic right here.

We're releasing the very first development demo of Cormoon.
The idea is to continue releasing more demos until it's finished, so check back often.

If you haven't already heard that Ville and Quanrian are making a new game called Cormoon, quickly read about it at the forum.

We've had a screenshot forging competition at the forum, the idea was to draw an imaginary screenshot of the new game.
The winning shot was made by NeoGangster, our resident competition winner.


The second prize goes to Idiota for this screenshot.


Congratulations to the winners!

HarmlessHermit has finally completed his Notrium based story, The Notrium Saga: The Survivor, and monkkonen.net is the proud host of this excellent work of art. Read the story here.

Here's the intro:
The captain of the Var' Equinallin was leading his ship and crew to the Hive sector in a routine exploration expedition, but found an ancient and mysterious planet awaiting them. Notrium. Before the captain could decide whether or not to land, a volley of missiles flew up from the planet and shot down the unprepared ship. Isolated on a faraway planet, with most of his crew dead, the captain must survive by outwitting the Ville Corporation's merciless marines, reuniting with the scattered survivors, and uncovering secrets about himself and Notrium. His journey is one of self-discovery and survival.

UberWaffe has released version 1.05 of his Werivar Mod. The mod is an expansion to the regular Notrium game, bringing in a completely new race, and a huge list of new stuff. Download it here, and read more about it at the forum.

Notrium 1.341 fixes the bug in 1.34 that makes all the item pickup texts vanish when you save the game. You will need to start a new game for the changes to work.

Download the 13 MB file from the Notrium homepage.

Some of the new stuff in Notrium 1.34 are:

• Saved games from older versions are not compatible with the new version!
• Fixed capping of maximum push speed.
• Fixed crash: dying while combining an item.
• The fires made by the player no longer vanish after a time.
• If the player has no weapon equipped, the game will no longer display: "No weapon".
• Notrium will now remember the last mod you selected.
• Fixed erraneous detection of enemy collisions with melee creatures.
• Fixed collision detection issue of creatures pushing each other stuck in walls.
• Fixed crash on quicksaving right after loading a game.
