This blog collects all posts relating to the game. http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=530 http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=530 I spent last week programming - yikes - doing a fix to the Naked War server code that I'd been putting off for ages. Some changes I made to the website late last year meant that new players couldn't sign up to play Naked War, which needed fixing. I'd had... http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=530#comments Wed, 19 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=245 http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=245 Coo-eey! Here's something I did for a bit of fun one weekend (I say one weekend, it probably ended up taking me a whole week). These are the Naked War character / head models, bastardised to look (a bit) like me and my brother. I'm the handsome lookin... http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=245#comments Wed, 01 Jul 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=194 http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=194 A while ago we were offered an opportunity (funding) to make the game which has become Magnetic Billiards. Taking up the offer meant putting the second version of Naked War on the 'backburner' for a while. Various stuff happened and we ended up back in ... http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=194#comments Mon, 11 May 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=184 http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=184 I was rooting around in my shared directory this evening, and spotted a bunch of screenshots of maps in the Naked War directory that I'd never seen before. They must be maps that John was messing about with, and which got automatically synced to my loca... http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=184#comments Fri, 01 May 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=119 http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=119 Naked War Version 2 has been a bit of a background project for a while now. It features a large number of significant improvements over the original version and the addition of Monkeys as playable characters which is always a good thing. It's still a... http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=119#comments Mon, 23 Feb 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=105 http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=105 This is a shot from the map editor built into the Naked War client. This is the same editor we used to build the maps that come with the game so it's fully functional and I think it's pretty easy to use. Because each turn contains the entire map (t... http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=105#comments Mon, 09 Feb 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=97 http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=97 My eldest daughter was delighted to see herself in a magazine this week. The current issue of GamesTM has run a two page article about our difficulties attempting to get Wii Ware Developer status from Nintendo, and reprinted the comic strip I put togeth... http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=97#comments Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=386 http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=386 We passed a big milestone today: our first indie game - Naked War - passed the 100,000 turn mark! Our server has processed over a hundred thousand turns since we first released the game in 2006. Wow! We wanted to mark this landmark event in Naked War... http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=386#comments Thu, 11 Dec 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=45 http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=45 As part of our 100k turn celebrations turns today, I thought it might be fun to show a screenshot of some alternate textures I was messing around with earlier this year. They're not massively different, but there's more of a cute, Animal Crossing type l... http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=45#comments Thu, 11 Dec 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=15 http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=15 This is one of the little bits of updated art content that I did ages ago for Naked War, that we hope to include in an updated version some at some point. What's different here from the current game is that the head's eyes are articulated, and can move ... http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=15#comments Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=427 http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=427 Naked Warriors is an idea we've been kicking around: a real-time action variant of Naked War. We loved those 80s coin-ops like Ikari Warriors and Commando, and we have all the assets we need to put a game like that together, if only we can find the time... http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=427#comments Wed, 22 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=426 http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=426 After we finished Naked War, we were batted around ideas for what we should do next, and expanding Naked War rather than starting something new was one line of thinking we pursued. We like the idea of a spin-off from the two-player only battle game of N... http://www.zee-3.com/nakedwar/blog/view.php?post=426#comments Tue, 21 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMT
