Hi all,

I'd just like to let you all know about a game you might be interested
in.

One of the design goals for Axiomatic was to make it a bit like an FPS
in space. As such, there is plenty of action and lots of big and
beautiful explosions. :)

Unlike in many past space combat games I've played, flying a fighter in
Axiomatic does not feel like driving a truck. Fighters are fast and
agile, so effective movement and positioning become much more important
for combat effectiveness. Even after playing my game all through
development, I still find it quite exhilarating and fun.

Anyway, if you are interested in space combat games, head on over to
http://ten-ninjas.com
to try out the demo.

Here are some screenshots:

I'm really looking forward to your feedback!
Since you're talking directly to the developer, good suggestions might
make it into the next version.

Best regards,

I downloaded the demo, but I was unable to unpause the game using the "P"
key. I tried switching keys, but to no avail.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks

Thanks Gus, for the only on-topic post in this thread. :)

I think there is some confusion because when you start a scenario you
are in "command-mode" where the game is paused, but you can also cycle
between the available friendly ships with <tab>. You exit command mode
with <backspace> (this info should be displayed right there on the
screen).

Once you start the action, P will toggle pause.

I'll remove the distinction between these two types of pause in a
future release.

I'm not sure what Gus said, but whatever it was, if it was on-topic
then it is to be applauded.

I'm certainly confused. Why did you write that? Did Gus ask about
pausing?

Thank goodness!

Are you saying that Lemming is a fool that Bret is supposed to learn to
post? Or perhaps he's supposed to quote me since I'm surely a fool?

Believe it or not, it isn't always about you you, Bill.

Rather, in lieu of the awkward punctuation throughout, I believe the poster
is trying to say: "Learn to quote Fool Bing Zan" (an obvious reference to
the famous Chinese poet I've never heard of, Bing Zin).

Now you're just being silly. That's okay though because I made you do it.

So you missed out on playing the bear in Twelth Night then?

I misread the audition notice: I thought it said "bare".

The word was "bore". You'd have been perfect for the part.
