Creeper World 2 Update 0343
I’ve been very busy biting my fingernails watching how Creeper World: User Space does at Kongregate. So to take my mind off of it, I thought I’d do a little coding on Creeper World 2 and add a new feature! In the middle of fixing some bugs, I added the ability see through the terrain. Just press “R” to make the terrain invisible.
Why would you do this? I can think of two reasons:
1: It lets you focus on the creeper and not be distracted when you need to think about certain situations.
2: The biggest reason of all; Finding entombed creeper more easily.

So now that custom maps are out, people are asking ‘What’s Next?“. Don’t worry, Knuckle Cracker still has plenty of Knuckles left to crack… we’ve only just begun our quest for galactic domination. After all, the 10 thousand year galactic empire has to have gotten started somewhere… Oops, I’ve said too much already.

The last two weeks have been very hectic… I got called away for a week and a half for an emergency and work all but ceased on the map editor during that time… But, the good news is that I am now back and working double time to finish off the map editor and the
DRM and an Interview

Recently, the topic of DRM came up in regards to Creeper World 1 and 2. I’ve always thought of myself on the “good” end of the whole DRM spectrum as I do the minimal that I can get away with for the Creeper World games. The games only require the entry of a key that

I’ve been working away on the map editor for CW2 for the last couple of weeks. It’s bunches of work to get it ready and stable for general release, but I can finally see that the end of the work is nearing.
One of the things I have worked hard to add is custom graphics support.

Thanks! Lovely and useful feature.
Good luck with CW:US on Kongregate. Hopefully soon we’ll see a list of other gaming sites picking it up as well?

That’s the plan… I just wanted to give it some alone time on Kongregate to start with. It’s a heck of a race on Kong currently, and I’m rooting as hard as possible for the Creeper Nation to prevail.
