Pownce on this

Anyone out there have a Pownce invite that they’d consider sharing? I’m dying to see what they’ve pulled together with AIR.

Reply to this post if you have one and I’ll be sure to contact you. Thanks! If I can scurry up an invite to something in return, let me know and I’ll try!

Don’t know about Pownce? Check it out…

UPDATE: I’ve gotten an invite, signed-up, and installed the AIR Desktop and will fiddle around and report back. The signup and installation process was simple and quick.

Silverlight “Zero Gravity” game featured on Microsoft’s Silverlight.net web site

June 27, 2007 at 8:55 am · Filed under Alpha, Visual Design, Games

Our little experimental Silverlight Alpha (1.1) game is being featured on Microsoft’s Silverlight.net web site! Gameplays are rolling in and the team is already getting fun (and constructive) feedback on the game.

It seems as though Level 20 is the one that everyone gets stumped on. Only a select handful have made it past it! Give it a shot!

UPDATE: Well, after 6 days and a lot of attention, and a lot of gameplay, 88 dedicated players have completed Zero Gravity (made it all the way to the last level)! It’s a testament to the toughness of the puzzle game as thousands of people have taken on the challenge!

Silverlight game development - Zero Gravity

June 27, 2007 at 7:57 am · Filed under Alpha, Programming, Beta, Social Networking, Games, Visual Design, User Experience

To put the Microsoft Silverlight Alpha 1.1 plug-in through its paces, a team here at Terralever has worked up a game called Zero Gravity. You can learn a little about the game here:

Zero Gravity
The Terralever Sandbox

I’m leaning towards getting some sleep, and noticed Tim Heuer put together a great post about the Silverlight Game, so I’m going to point you in that direction to hear about our project from his perspective.

Enjoy the game! If you’re a developer, look forward to our team providing code snippets at our sandbox page. Questions? Get to know Lt. Bennett on Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace. Oh, and if you like the game, give us a Digg!

UDPATE: Here’s a picture of local (Regional… National… International…) Microsoft hero Tim Heuer demoing Zero Gravity at The Arizona .NET User Group Über Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona on the 27th of June. Sorry for the poor quality photo…

Red Bull Flugtag online and off

June 21, 2007 at 9:22 am · Filed under Online Marketing, Social Networking, Games

I’m getting ready to head to Tennessee for Flugtag Nashville, the latest U.S. “flying day” put on by Red Bull. Terralever has been working on some cool interactive tie-ins to the event, and we fortunately need some boots on the ground to do some coordination. If you’re in Nashville on Saturday (23rd of June) stop by—it’s free! Directions and entry information is on the Flugtag USA site, on the page for the Nashville event.

The team has also updated the wildly popular Flugtag Game. It now features:

• Multiplayer support (Tournament style)
• A Chat window for Multiplayer games
• Three crafts to choose from
• Five Flugtag locations to choose from
• New crash sequences and in-flight antics

If you have previously installed the game on your MySpace page, it will be updated automatically to the new version. If you haven’t put it on your MySpace page, but are curious how to do so, just go to the game page—there is a button to install it right below the game.
