Tall screen shots
Just a quick post to show off the CW2 game screen shot mechanism. You can generate a full map screen shot from within the game:
Creeper World 2 Dev Video #2
Here’s a new video from the upcoming beta for Creeper World 2. This shows the first story mission. It’s essentially a brief tutorial and sets up the story and a brief bit of game history. For the sake of video length, I don’t pause very long on the text. You’ll have to pause the video […]
CW2 Gallery
It’s been a while since I posted… so I figured it was about time to show some more progress. I’ve been hard at work on various subsystems in the game. Sound, music, menus, scoring, tech upgrades, unit balancing, phantoms, gateways…. all kinds of goodies. Below are some screen shots that show some examples. Now not […]
Unintended Coolness
Every now and then… and I mean rarely every now and then… something nice happens as a result of a structured design. I just accidentally discovered an originally unintended effect using Launchers to target Creeper on the other side of a Micro Rift. Here’s the technical skinny: Launchers want to fire at the densest Creeper […]
Artifacts
It’s been a while since my last post…. things have really been popping at KC in the mean time. I’ve taken some time to implement some of the other objects that will be present in CW2.

After a few months of development and testing, a new update to Creeper World has just been released! You can check out the forum post here: Forum Post In a nutshell, there were some small bugs fixed and a few major new features added. New Features: – You can speed up and slow down the […]
Micro-Rifts
Another cool thing in Game 2 are portals/wormholes or as they are currently called “Micro-Rifts”. These things can be built around a map and connect different points in space instantly. Sounds neat and it is… but let me explain further why these things are a good idea and how they solve an important game design […]
Creeper Redemption
What if there were a way to take that nasty old Creeper and make it your pet? Destroying the ever expanding Creeper is plenty-o-fun, but what if you could manufacture your own Creeper and send a little payback towards those emitters? Well, that’s the plan for game 2: Now this is just a quick game […]
