Dark Gates dev progress

In case you wonder how Dark Gates are shaping up, all is well. I'm doing finishing touches on map generation and after that what's left is a fighting system to implement. I'm hoping to finish it till the end of the year so I can finally go into alpha stage and make sure that all intended features are there. Game is tested in the meantime so alpha stage here is more feature freeze than anything. As soon it will be possible , I will post a video with game features to get the idea of the game itself.

Stormwar

In 2005 I was helping create a StormWar game. I was doing 3D  models and designing an UI for this game. Project died (author and programer decided to do something else). I still got all models. It was done in Blender, models are lowpoly. If you want to see this game in action, it can be downloaded from link above.
