DC Gamer Club / Defense Grid 2 launched via Kickstarter

« on: July 10, 2012, 11:27 PM »

Defense Grid, a favorite among DC'ers, is getting a sequel via Kickstarter! The devs, Hidden Path Entertainment , have lined up a series of rewards as several tiers of funding are unlocked. Multiplayer sure sounds enticing!

This particular fundraiser is tiered. If it can raise $250,000, Hidden Path will release a new, 8 level expansion for Defense Grid: The Awakening. At $500,000, they build a new engine, remaster all of the old levels in it, and add multiplayer support. $750,000 will get us a level editor, release on more platforms (Mac, Linux, etc.), and some more multiplayer features. $1 million is the final goal, allowing the development of a full sequel with a new campaign, new aliens, and new towers.

General Software Discussion / AutoHotkey v2 & other changes

« on: April 10, 2012, 08:13 PM »

this might interest all AHK aficionados here. AutoHotkey has had some big changes recently. Chris Mallett (the author) has officially handed over the reins of AutoHotkey.com in terms of ownership and design. His version of AHK is now termed 'Basic'. And the prominent fork that is, AutoHotkey_L is slated to be the official "latest version" of AutoHotkey.

AHK_L which is helmed by Lexikos is in brisk development with some enhancements such as Unicode and native 64-bit support. This project is now in testing for v2.0 (alpha release).

You may head over to the 'announcements' section at their forums (which btw has had a facelift too) to view all the postings.
