As many of you know I now run my own multimedia company. Today we sort of had a fun day instead of a work day. Nando's for lunch and Game Development all day.

We, as a team, have decided to release our games under a new name. So:

The Beverly Hills Cycling Company is please to announce the release of our first game :) Star Trekking is effectivly a re skinning of my Weapons of War game. But this time the team included a graphic artist. We gave ourselves the day to get it done. Its not 100% finished as there seem to be issues with the high score list...

So here is the link:

Enjoy :)

Nice :)

You must be enjoying have an artist on the team, plus I'm guessing the day must have been hilarious from the crazy theme... What's with the Cycling Company name? Where did that come from?

Having an artist working full time for me on the Multimedia, is just great :)

Well I wanted something wierd :) Actually I saw a guy cycling the other day with a BHCC shirt on and I thought that would be a cool name for a game dev company.

Crazy theme came from the sound track we are using :)

We had lots of fun doing it anyway. Will probably do it again in a few weeks time. Does this game count for the Compo?

Once I had decided to use Star Trekking as the music for the game it took me nearly 90minutes to find a downloadeable version of the song :)

On my old pc it runs a bit slow, maybe its an issue with the pc, but if you want I can give you the specs, and try get the framerate etc

This game uses a LOT of large images. Quite possibly its causing a lot of page swapping of images to and from the video card.

One of my test PCs is a Celeron 2.4 512MB Ram and a GF6200 (I think) and I know game written using S2DL run quite slowly on it.

Heheh, this is pretty cool, and I love the song - it has been ages since I last heard it before playing this game, I think, and it is very funny. ^_^
