Like wow! A donation!! Many many thanks to Jamie Le Fevre for the very kind donation of £25!!

I forgot to mention before - Alspal is also working on even more epic gaming greatness We could see a trilogy, we could see a new beginning... we could even see both! So check back soon for more information I've also completed redesigning the site - all that's left now is to implement it.

I'll be adding new things like 'comments' to news posts and such and generally cleaning up the entire site - making sure that everything works again, too! Oh and updating the shoutbox to use AJAX, too.

Lots to look forward to in the very near future! Again, a sincere thank you to Jamie - that donation will go a long way Thank you all for visiting!

Hey all! It's been a while since I last updated the site with some news eh?!

I have still been popping back for a few seconds every day, just to make sure that things are still working and posting the odd comment in the shoutbox too. I'm never far away. Life has been so so busy lately! I need a job in web design - locally - fast!! So that aspect of life is taking up a large amount of time at the moment... unfortunately.

As far as game development is going, people are still working away! I know that Ben has been making an exciting new game that is rapidly taking shape! I wont leak too much information just yet, for fear that Ben will hate me for an eternity... He's also been working on other things too has our busy Benjovi, so you can expect some cool new updates and screenshots in the next month or so!

Hempuli's 'FIG' is complete! Well, everything apart from the music - which is again, very kindly being taken care of by the one and only Johan Hargne! This game is a bit of a revolution and I anticipate having to vastly increase the site's bandwidth limit for the month of its release. There's a short bit of information about FIG on the projects page, which needs updating a little. Seriously though, give this game a try when it comes out - you will not be disappointed! It's gunna be epic No set time of release just yet, but it will certainly be within 2.5-3 months' time. A month seems most likely, but don't hold me to that

I'm going to be taking a few people off from the staff list. Those of whom haven't ever produced a game or helped out in any substantial way will be considered for removal from the team. However, those staff members are welcome back, providing they have something to contribute - but until they do, they will not officially be regarded as staff any longer.

Therefore, this also means that we will be introducing new people to the team! Who and when is far from decided yet... but if you're interested, then see the staff page for my email address. If you could send any examples of what you do and tell me why you would like to join Team SilverNova, that would be great

I am also aware that a few things around the site need to be fixed. I will be enhancing some already existing features and adding some more in the near future. This may result in - yes - another re-design of the site. This is likely to take a while and I do not know when I will have the time spare to do it, so it probably wont be very soon - but just a "heads-up"

I can't believe people have only just found out about Ainevoltas 2, too! It's been out for months now! But as long as people download and enjoy, that's all that matters Thanks to TIGSource for eventually giving it a mention..! I've had to increase the bandwidth limit a little to compensate for all of the downloads recently - sorry for the downtime.

Well, that about sums everything up at the moment! It's been a bit of a quiet period lately, but we're all still here Many exciting things to come soon! Thanks to everyone for visiting!!!

Hey guys, I'm just updating to let you know things are still ticking away behind the scenes over at SilverNova. A lot - if not all - of us are busy with school, college, work and just life in general! Most of us are still working on projects in our spare time too - but I know that for one I've been really snowed under. Mirage and my whole pile of other projects are still coming along fairly well, if not a little slowly.

I haven't heard much from Jake on the game development side of things, but I'm sure he's chugging away when he can. Ricky? He's working on school stuff, since he goes to the same school as me etc. Jay's been out living life, at least that's what he says. Mike's been keeping busy as he is in college now (hooray) and in his own words "i'm awesome". I haven't heard from our good friend Attan in a long time, Alspal hasn't been around for a bit - but he is taking a break from making games I think. It's his final year of school, so he has to concentrate more - and finally Hempuli, FIG is allllllmost complete now (so close you can taste it) so keep on the look out!

Sorry to wait so long between updates, but I keep forgetting and Tim's got college and a job to see to.

Well! Most of us have been busy with making games, but all of us have been busy with attending to real-life recently

Jake has been working on Jamie's Revenge 2! I'll update this post soon with some screenshots. I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard wonders about it It's certainly come a long, long way since the first game! All playable characters have their certain special abilities and movements but who knows what else Jake has in store for this game? We do! So check back here for more information in our next post!

Tom will be set free to work on Mirage again with Ben and I at the end of this month / early next - hurrah!! Once Tom is back with us we can start the ball rolling once again and make some considerable progress and release a video of the engine etc, too!

Attan has been working on his game - the name of which is really cool and original, so I wont announce it just yet - until noteable progress has been made. But, the entire storyline has been planned and written and my what a story it is!! Quite the novelist, is our Attan! Can't wait to see this project piece together!

Alspal is working on something which LOOKS like it might be Ainevoltas 3!! Can it be?! We'll let you know soon Arvi (Hempuli) has finished a few more levels on FIG now, too! 25 levels down, 10 more to go! Creating the levels is a strenuous process for this type of game, but he's making steady progress and is well on-target for his aspired release date

Watch this space for exciting news coming soon! Once again, thanks for visiting everyone!

Hempuli brings us a demo of his new game -

"Because there were so many requests for a demo, I managed to create a version with the first five levels, the credits-section and half of the tutorial. The demo shows all the basic stuff that appear in the game, though there's nothing really cool like in some of the later levels I have to keep at least some things secret to the public release!

The game uses just mouse and it's left button, but if you want to get irritated you can also use esc or enter for some stuff. Notice also that every level has a 'restart' and 'quit' buttons in the bottom-right corner."

Not an april fools this time You can download the demo right here (filesize: 1.5mb). Remember to give us a shout in the shoutbox, and tell us what you think so far!!

Thank you for visiting! More news coming soon!
