It has been well over a year and we have made zero progress on out game. This is most unfortunate as this is a dream that seems to be permanently on shoulders of people who are too busy trying to stay alive.
This is a common struggle for most indie game designers. We are still alive and one day when I have made millions of dollars I will fund this game myself. Until then thanks to all for their support.
Till next time.
Cheers,
David

Third World Pixel
Hi all
Recently Third world Pixel has split across the planet, One of us is in the UK and the other(myself) is back in South Africa. For now Hive Wars is on the rocks, as inde developers I would imagine we all understand this phase of the game development experience.
But dont worry we will be creating new concepts in the weeks that follow.

This Interface has had many face lifts and I'm happy to say it has found some direction. The Game menu is introduced through the games opening video sequence. Viewed through the Hazmat suite, players take on the role of the Scientist at his desk. from here players can choose various options.

When a team captures an area their logo will be displayed above the center flower.

During the game players will be able to access the upgrade center (when unlocked), players will be able to choose between 'Mutant' and 'technical' builds.
Here is a selection of images from our most recent development.

The underground bunker viewed from inside the game as a hidden easter egg.
We had a bit of a crazy month in August all the team members had to go and sort out their other lives. But thankfully everything worked out and now we can get back to work on our game. We have made some graphical improvements to our game. The programmer had a great holiday back in Bulgaria and I had to relocate to a bed and breakfast temporarily. We are currently preparing for the upcoming Euro Gamer expo on the 25th September. Trailer coming soon
Third World Pixel
Finally got to play Hive Wars with the new PS4 controller. Experimenting for console support
is paying off! Also made some fixes to the overall animations in game. I have
to say that using the controller to move the insects around felt more natural
than the keyboard and mouse. Looking forward to Xbox One/PS4 support in
the future. Cross platform multiplayer anyone?
