The first day of the Independent Games Festival has come and gone, and the winners have been announced! Alien Hominid and Gish dominated the Open Category, with Wik taking home three awards for Web/Downloadable. As a side note, it’s disappointing to see how some developers give up, because they don’t want to put more effort into improving their games, or, as in David Moffatt’s case with Omega Syndrome, they have become overwhelmed by a seemingly endless project. The servers for the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine tend to get a little wonky nearly every time I begin to work on YOT, so don’t be surprised if you get any “timed out” or “busy server” messages from any of their links I had to use for games and developers who have disappeared in the last year or two. However, an older demo can be downloaded from here, and the Internet Archive still has several iterations of the website preserved for you viewing pleasure and to allow you to see screenshots how good the game once was. The full version of the game and the last version of the website (the sorry-it’s-quits version) are no longer online. DDD, however, is my favorite OMEGA game (the more recent Ino_vation comes in as a close second and EE is a solid third).Īlso of note is Omega Syndrome: a once commercially available indie RPG inspired by Roswell and old sci-fi B-movies that was abandoned a few months ago. OMEGA is probably better known as the creator of Every Extend, which was the precursor to Every Extend Extra for the PSP.
Within this first segment of March, there are a couple of posts on Dan! Da! Dan!: OMEGA’s awesome, short-but-sweet, puzzle-block shmup. March 2005 was quite a prolific month for TIGSource, so it is being split into a sub-trilogy for YOT. Ye Olde TIGSource (Part 5) By: ithamore On: November 30th, 2007
