![]() Cascade Game Foundry | Simulating Experience. First off, our apologies for the long gap in updates – it’s been a completely crazed few months since our Infinite Scuba update went live in November. It has been great to see excitement for the game build, slowly and steadily, since that time. We *knew* our tribe – those who would enjoy a relaxing, educational plunge into the ocean – was out there somewhere! · Be a Vegas gangster, MMA fighting star & racing genius in the #1 crime game. The response from divers, environmentalists, educators, kids, parents, grandparents, and others searching for a unique, non- violent game experience has been wonderful. It has especially been a privilege to meet so many of you in person at Power of Play, Game Connection, GDC, and the Scuba & H2. Adventure show, as well as the many schools, clubs, and other events where we’ve shown the game recently. Next up is i. Fest in Seattle on 3 May – we hope to meet more of you there! So, what else is new? Infinite Scuba was a finalist in the Game Connection Selected Projects 2. San Francisco. That show was amazing – a diverse international crowd who loved the game. So many follow- ups! Our new dive site (a beauty in Belize selected by our esteemed partner Dr. Sylvia Earle) should be ready for beta in May. Please send mail (via Contact) if you would like to be a beta tester. We are working with a European publisher (formal announcement coming soon) who is releasing the game (in a box!) in Europe this spring. We are the first indie developer to be invited to join the PC Gaming Alliance – we are super excited about the opportunity to work with this visionary group! We have a cool new trailer video on youtube and vimeo. We got a video review that says we’re “gleefully rudderless” – YEAH!!
We tweet now, so please follow us: @Infinite. Scuba and @Cascade. GFWe are exploring a number of other exciting partnerships and projects that came up during Game Connection and GDC. As soon as we can share more news, we will! When we started this project long ago, we decided that the sea turtle, or ‘honu’, would make a fitting totem for our team. The honu represents long life, good luck, humility, and peace. Perfect. Many thanks to everyone who has believed in us as we pursue our dream to enable people to explore the ocean (and the rest of the world) from home!

Bubble Below dive shop in Woodinville WA is the first shop to carry the cards, in case any of you are in the Seattle area. Other cool stuff…A demo version of the game is part of the Sea Monsters Revealed: Aquatic Bodies exhibit at the Georgia Aquarium. This aquarium is in Atlanta and gets about 5.

While the above video demos the graphics and gameplay of Lugaru, the following video will give you more detailed instructions on how to play. The learning curve to Lugaru is steep, but this video should help a lot. Be sure to subscribe to Wolfire's You. Tube channel! Download demo. Windows • Mac • Linux. Lugaru's primary feature is its unique combat system. Instead of relying on confusing button combinations to perform moves, Lugaru's moves are all logical and context sensitive. For example, if an opponent aims a roundhouse kick at Turner's head, you can crouch and then stand up under the attack to grab your assailant's leg and kick him away. If you try and punch an opponent and he tries to throw you over his shoulder, you can crouch to roll painlessly out of the throw. This new combat system makes fights look and feel much more intense and believable than in any other game. You can see it in action with the gameplay movies above. However, if straight close- range combat with hands, knives, swords and staves is not your style, you can also use stealth, but you have to be smart about it. If you cut a wolf's throat, be sure to wipe the blood off your knife or another wolf might smell it. Enemy rabbits have very keen hearing, so be sure to walk quietly, and kill enemies before they make too much noise or run to alert their friends. Also, if they do bring their friends, don't expect them to stupidly take turns fighting you. It is not unusual for one enemy to sweep your feet out from under you and another to smash you while you fall. Because of the emphasis on gameplay, the graphics are designed to let the game run as smoothly as possible. It should run at full speed at full detail on any system with a 7. MHz processor and Geforce 3 or better graphics card. It should run acceptably on any system with a 3. MHz processor and Rage 1. While models do not have as many polygons as in some new commercial games, there is an unprecedented amount of detail where it actually matters. If an enemy shatters his staff on your skull then your vision will unfocus slightly for a few seconds. Jumping through trees creates a shower of leaves (and snow if it is in a cold area). Landing an especially solid blow to the head can spatter blood on the wall and knock out a couple teeth. If you throw a knife into a wolf, blood will drip down his fur as he yanks out the knife and uses it against you. It is even possible to smash enemies so hard into walls that the surface cracks. Motion blur makes fast movement easier to track. Technical Features: Fast terrain engine with texture blending, footprints, and transparent fog. Unique fast- paced combat system with weapons, attack reversals, and counter- reversals. Skeletal animation with rag- doll physics and hand and face expressions. Motion blur and many other effects.

Several amazing people have gone in and created completely new Lugaru campaigns, which we believe are actually better than Lugaru itself. Tim Soret created the HD texture pack, for example, which is now included in Lugaru by default! Here are some of the most popular. More can be found on the Wolfire Forums. Welcome to Lugaru's unofficial expansion pack. Unofficial, but free. It includes 3. 1 maps, 8. All this wrapped up in a large campaign, complete with scenario and dialogues. Sven is Turner's twin brother (or maybe just a cousin, he was never very clear on this). He's been training in the desert (see my previous map pack) to become the new master of his Temple. He has just come back. The story starts right in the heat of things, and what's happening is only implied by the dialogues, not flat out explained. But you'll figure out very quickly. The scenario is really simple and just a frame for the levels. Last thing, don't be too upset if there are small glitches. The level editor is unsupported and reliably crashes when you stare at it the wrong way. Enjoy! Silb. WARNING: PG- 1. About 1. 00 violent deaths on screen. Also, a relative of the main character used the word "bastard".)(1. MB)The island of Lugaru is embroiled in civil war. Led by the freedom fighter Lucius, the rebels have been fighting a losing battle to throw off the Imperial yoke. And now it seems the Emperor has unleashed a new weapon upon the rebel forces.. Frame- rate Warning: There are a few levels where the frame- rate gets down to the low 2. This still works decently on my computer, but I'm guessing this wont be the case for everybody. There are 3 fighting levels with horrible frame- rates. If this is a serious problem, the following changes might help a little.- Lower the "viewdistance". In the console, type "viewdistance . Turn off the sky box. In the console, type "skybox"To install Lugaru: Empire.. First back up the following files. Data/Campaigns/main. Data" is located inside your Lugaru folder)Data/Textures/World. Data/Textures/Lugaru. Data/Textures/Eyelid. Then just drag the Lugaru: Empire items from their folders and into the specified Lugaru folders. I would like to give a BIG thank you to Silb, for without his answering my constant questions I would never have been able to finish this campaign. I was only able to create it by looking at what he had pioneered. PM me on the Wolfire boards with any questions. Otherwise, enjoy!- Jendraz(1. MB)This is a small campaign I made with the Lugaru map editor. I finally finished this after wrestling invisible demons in the map editor. It has maybe 1. 0 fighting levels, 7 dialogue levels, and one bonus fighting level. I had intended to add a mystery solving element to all the tasks, to make up for the short length, but cut much of it because of difficulties with the editor. The main character is similar to a hired assassin and so I set up clues for the player to figure out who hired him and why. For those still interested in sleuthing here are the areas where you can still solve the mystery. They are organized from easiest to hardest to solve (in my opinion, anyway): Desert Village. Mountain City. Monastery. Theatre (maybe)Desert sandstorm (probably not but maybe. I personally have always liked "the Making of.." docs about games, because I love seeing what creative process drove their design. So, I figured others might like that as well. The read me file contains a long "making of the seven tasks" for those interested in reading what my thought process was in making these maps (as well as spoilers for the mystery solving.)Once you've unzipped the files place everything named "task#" into the maps folder. Place the "main. txt" in the campaigns folder, but don't forget to backup the original "main. Data/maps/"task#"/Data/campaigns/main. The "read me" can go anywhere. Hope you enjoy!(9. KB)After a whole three days in development, I give you.. In this Campaign we will follow Vincent Hirem, an ex- assassin, on his journey through a rebellion against an oppressive Imperialist government. When fate meets with his closest friends, he reluctantly resumes his life as an assassin and his new target is the Imperialist leader. This was made in three days out of boredom while while waiting on work to be done on another project. Have fun!(1. 5 MB)"Long ago, in our grandmothers' grandmothers' time, before the tribes could speak.."Even as Turner seeks revenge for the killing of his family, an ancient and deadly danger is uncovered. All but forgotten, it threatens the future of all the races.. But some remember the old tales, and a new generation will rise to join the fight.(5.
