A new bundle went live today! The Complete Cornutopia Game Bundle contains all of the Cornutopia Games released on Steam so far. I've been making games since 2001 and constantly updating and remastering them with new graphics, new sound, and new capabilities for the latest computers.
The bundle includes the latest version of all of these Cornutopia Games: Radioactive, Yinyang, Flatspace, Taskforce: The Mutants Of October Morgane, Gunstorm, Future Pool, Gunstorm II, Future Snooker and Flatspace IIk.
I dream of remastering some of the other games that (at time of writing) aren't available anywhere, but this is getting harder and harder these days. All of my games use my own engine and 3D format, graphics painstakingly made old school style, but perhaps one day I'll have the time and resources to revive my other games.
This bundle is a 'complete the set' type, so you only pay for what you don't own. Find it here:

Almost two years in development, Taskforce is technically the biggest game I ever created, and owes its origins to Hilt II (and and older Taskforce game) on Amiga. A squad-level turn based game where a group of soldiers must battle the evil October Morgane.
Radioactive is a turn based game (with real time elements) for 1 to 4 players based on an old principle of selecting a unit, setting the angle and power and trying to obliterate the enemy.

SFXEngine v2.07 is now live.
Two changes in this update:
-New, much more detailed statistics calculated when Save Stats is selected. Results show: Filename, Length, Length (Samples), Description/Notes (left empty for user notes), RMS Total (dB), Max Peak (dB), Max Peak (1/Peak), Samples Clipped, RMS [L] (dB), Max Peak [L] (dB), Peaks [L] -ve/+ve, Samples Clipped [L], RMS [R] (dB), Max Peak [R] (dB), Peaks [R] -ve/+ve, Samples Clipped [R].
-Ctrl and shift key status now reset when a message box appears. If held before, then released when a message box appears, the program loop would assume ctrl/shift was still held, giving the appearance of the keyboard being unresponsive.
Full details of the update in the Readme.txt file.
The next SFXEngine release will be the Strategy Sound Pack. A mix of switches and levers, alarms and sirens, and sliding objects, and more.
