InstantAction in a Nutshell
by James Wiley · 02/05/2009 (11:29 am) · 5 comments
It's been a while since I've posted on the GG blog, but I'm here to give a quick update to what's been happening over at InstantAction. I'll be posting on a monthly basis or so to make sure everyone is aware of what's happening on the other side of the building. If there's anything that you would like to hear about, let me know and I'll do my best to get the info.
Let's do this on a game by game basis. Some of them are familiar favorites while others are from indies that you may not know even existed.
Alphabetical Order FTW! Click any of the URL game titles for more info.
Ace of Aces - An WWI flight combat game from Mad Otter Games headed by ex-dynamix member, Damon Slye. Ace of Aces puts players in the cockpit of Axis or Allies aircraft, while fighting in various game types. If you are a fan of Red Baron or Aces of the Pacific, you should check out Ace of Aces.

Title coming soon! Cyclomite - Easy to play hard to master puzzle game from Wideload Shorts. The game features a fully fledged single player experience as well as versus and co-op multiplayer.

Fallen Empire: Legions Galcon - Phil Hassey's RTS hit Galcon has also come to IA and it's now all free. If you've never played Galcon, here's the gist. Take control of the planets that your opponents have by strategically sending triangle shaped ships. Tutorials will get you started, single player campaign makes you laugh, 8 player multiplayer action is hectic and fun.
Galcon Lore: Aftermath - Max Gaming Technologies has taken the Lore franchise to the next level. Read up on Logan's Lore posts here. These guys are extremely active in the development on the game and are constantly in conversation on the
InstantAction forums looking for ways to improve and enhance the game.

Marble Blast Online
Rokkitball

ZAP!
Turns out it's a pretty big nutshell. I also wanted to make note that if anyone has questions, I will try and field them to the developers or get them to respond over here.

But as Logan mentioned.
Every game on this list, with the exception of Galcon, were made with Torque. Very exciting to see all these great games that people are making with Torque.

Wow, how could I have left that out. Due to the long post I guess. But as Logan mentioned.

ZAP! is on an R&D build of Torque provided by GG. It's not TGEA, but it is built upon Torque technology :)

Also to throw a bit of a Torque spin on it, all these games except for Galcon are made with Torque. So it's definately worthwhile taking a look at what these games do if you are at all serious at wanting to see how you can push the engine.
