Marshmallow Duel : Mowbray's Revenge is finally done and released. I like to think it's particularly polished for a first release - all the really annoying bugs are things of the past.

Anyway it provides some good enjoyable gameplay (much like the original I suppose), destroyable environments, 18 unique and balanced pickups, character customisation, randomly generated levels and of course a prevalent sense of wackiness.

Available now on the MDMR files page, as well as tutorials for mapping and creating characters, and of course a trailer and hundreds of images.

Enjoy!

Yesterday, Escher Physics went live. This system allows UT2004 mappers to create stuff where they can have gravity of all directions, irrespective of the limitations of the UT2004 engine. There is also a map some friends and I created to show off its potential.

Marshmallow Duel : Mowbray's Revenge is also nearing the end of its first development phase, and it should be released within 3 weeks. All the core stuff is completely final, we are simply adding more map and character content before it comes out.

Oh yeah, the site has undergone quite a few updates and should run much nicer for everyone, particularly when loading page subsections (this is now parsed serverside instead of sending the entire page to you and cutting out the irrelevant stuff).

I released a new version of SoldatUT today, as part of my ongoing work on Marshmallow Duel : Mowbray's Revenge.

If you haven't heard, SoldatUT is a 2D mod for UT2004 that brings all the default gametypes to a sidescrolling play field. The latest version includes 2D onslaught play with vehicles, as well as fixed weapons, bugfixes and new maps.

You can head over to the files page on the MD:MR site to download the mod and find links to maps for it.

I've released a 2D style mod for UT2004 which gives you a sidescrolling perspective and changes the gameplay to be more something like Soldat.
There are quite a few compatible maps and the gameplay is great fun, so please go take a look and download it.

You can get it from the official Marshmallow Duel : Mowbray's Revenge website, in the files section.

Unrelatedly, I'm going to take the comments section down later today because it isn't working very well and it totally annoys me. I will probably replace the comments link with a link to Mduel:MR soon, since that is where most of my work and released stuff will be going for probably the next year.

Just a heads up, I have started a major UT2004 mod project with friends from uni.

We will be doing this for university assessment as part of a project unit, which means a few things:
- Hard work and keeping to deadlines
- A set release date at the end of the year
- An actual team to work with

Anyway, the project itself is "Marshmallow Duel : Mowbray's Revenge" (working title), which will be an adaptation of the classic 1996 game Marshmallow Duel into a 3D environment. We will also include exciting features such as non-human enemies, monsters, and perhaps even vehicles and a singleplayer campaign.

The website (which I am extremely proud of, by the way) is now online here: mduel2k5.spadgos.com.

Go check it out, and get excited.
