Blog: Fresh Ideas in Gaming
The Final Battle
People laughed. ”Fools” we were called. In the early, primordial beginnings of Creeper World no one believed it could or should be done. How in 20 years of real time strategy game design and development had a new and fundamental game play mechanic simply been overlooked?
“It was”, I said, then the work began. Others scoffed and forgot, but I quietly worked. Toiling away, an idea was forged that would change strategy gaming now and forever. A nation was formed, the Creeper Nation. Few in the beginning, but ever growing. This nation would mold and craft the idea into prominence.
Now we stand poised on the eve of a final great battle. We stand shoulder to shoulder with other great games. Are we yet fools? Are we yet scoffed at with our silly and impossible ideas? Some say so… yet others stand firm and carry the banner of the Creeper Nation. Join with us…. the time is now.
Visit and vote 5 stars. Today is the final day.

If all goes as planned, Nov 21, 2011 will be the launch of Creeper World: Evermore. I’ll follow up with a new post once it is live on Kongregate and ArmorGames.

Wow… the knuckles have been cracking like crazy here in the studio… There’s been a lot of different things going on over the last month, so I’ll try to hit the highlights:

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.

DRM and an Interview
about 10 months ago - 27 comments
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 getting requests for a Creeper World T-Shirt…. well for a long time now. Knuckle Cracker is a game studio, so I never really gave it much attention. But guess what? The good folks at discordmerch.com have just released a Creeper World T-Shirt and I think it is pretty cool!

CW 2: More considerations
about 1 year ago - 60 comments
Currently I have these three things implemented/planned as ways to extend the core ‘creeper game’ concept:
Resources: CW had one very important resource: Energy. In game 2 I am considering a second resource. Specifically, you would need certain amounts of this resource in order to build certain units and you would also need this resource to
CW 2: Some Considerations
about 1 year ago - 11 comments
I’m not quite yet ready to reveal too much (like a screenshot) of game 2. But I would like to document some of the areas that have been a focus. Don’t bother trying to figure out what all of these have in common…. that they are all in my head is about all that seems

According to Kong, you won $2000. Woohoo!
It’s always good when the world motivates Virgil to keep interested in developing the Creeper World series.

The voting actually doesn’t end till midnight tonight (pacific daylight time). Turns out that they close game submission at the end of the month, but that voting remains open till through Oct 3…. So that as they say, the fat lady hasn’t sung yet. This means don’t let up!

So, did you win?
about 7 months ago
Last time I saw the charts, it was in 2nd place… which is a HUGE victory this month. The prize money was doubled for the top three places, so there were some titanic games this month. It was a slaughterhouse of competition, and to come in 2nd would be really huge for CW:US. But, I have seen no announcements of the final order… so I don’t yet know what place games actually finished…

So what have you won?

CW: WUS got me hooked…
I bought CW2 the same day… CW1 the next.
aaand to be honest: I liked the overall look and feel of CW1 better than CW2. the graphics are nicer, and the maps – i dunno – just “feel” right… it may be just me, but I thought CW2 to be a step back…
Anyway: thanks for the great game!!!

Hey, just thought of something to implement, how about the weapon move speed upgrades also increase the speed the rockets from the launchers travel at?

Hi
Can you add a button to destroy all the tech dome.
It would be helpful when you have finished collecting tech points.
Or even a button to convert the tech dome into the reactor
