AndyH — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:32:59 +0000

A quick update for Sacred Armour of Antiriad fans, the Antirad-E remake has kick started again. Will post more information, screenshots and videos as time goes on. To get started here are some in-game shots showing the superb graphic talents of David who has been really busy recreating the spooky look of the original game.

Finally a Facebook Page

We have finally got around to starting a Facebook page.

Hopefully it will encourage us to speak more about what we are doing these days (alot!)

That’s No (Hunters) Moon…

Hello,

As you may know some of us here at Ovine have a little soft spot for the classic Atari Star Wars game and all its lovely glowy lines. Occasionally we are even let out on day release to play the real thing…

Well now we aim to bring some of that 19 inch vector CRT fun to the small screen with a new remake. The game will run both on iOS, and Android. Currently the vector engine is coded and is performing nicely on my Nexus 7. I have programmed the basic framework for the last two stages (Surface Run and Trench Run) as you can see in the below clip…

I still need to add music, and get the turrets firing properly to finish the basics of this stage. Then its onto the first stage, which seems the simplest but the one I dread coding the most. Hopefully that part will also go smoothly.

More updates soon

Happy Ewe Year!

Ovine.net gets a refresh

AndyH — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 07:00:39 +0000

If you have visited Ovine before you may have noticed some changes. We have merged our remakes and mobile games into the one site as it did not make sense to keep these two things separated any longer, after all they are all games – just on different platforms.

As we are embracing more mobile gaming, we need to ensure that our website works better on mobile devices like phones and tablets. We’ve made some improvements in this regard so you should see Ovine.net perfectly no matter what device you are using (within reason ).

So take a look around, the remakes and mobile games can be found on the menu, along with a contact us page if you’d like to get in touch. You can of course reply to this blog too.

If you haven’t tried our mobile games, please do so. They are only 69p / 99c which is a bargain. If you have enjoyed any of our remakes and want to support our hosting costs for them you can make a small donation using the donate link in the menu and footer. Our thanks.

Bee update

AndyH — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 20:56:34 +0000

Bee in a Bubble is with Apple for review and should hopefully appear on the iOS AppStore very soon. In the mean time I’ve started on the next update.

This update will add another seventeen levels in Hive C – Clover, with a new challenge. Where Hive A gives you tight turns, Hive B gives you moving obstacles, Hive C brings in doors and switches.

Here’s a video of Bee in action!

Another Meeting

Another powwow meeting …… we are serious honest !

Working Hard

StuC — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 20:07:24 +0000

We had our weekly meeting to discuss the latest Ovine offerings. Bee in a bubble is almost ready to go, we should be testing that in urnest over the next week!

We also have a fair chunk of “Dino Factory” done, which we have decided to be free!- but we shall be filling it with lots and lots of ads – see if we can gernerate revenue that way.

Then we have “Shroomers” – a cute little game thats shaping up nicely. Heres a little snippet of the graphics style.
