“Battle Room” Interview w/ Chair Entertainment: Reposted on Google Video
Seems like nobody likes Microsoft’s Silverlight; we took the liberty of reposting the Channel 10 video on YouTube (file too big) Google Video for everyone that doesn’t have Silverlight installed (does anybody?):
Is Undertow the right model for the “Battle Room” game?
After reading that the Battle Room game was going to be developed by the same folks that produced another XBOX LIVE downloadable game called Undertow, I gave it a shot. But it didn’t really do anything for me. It just seemed a bit, well… two-dimensional. It was more of an arcade style shooter than an immersible virtual world that you might envision for an Ender’s Game video game. While the graphics in Undertow portray a 3D world; the gameplay is restricted to moving on an X/Y axis: up, down, forward & back. Except for the cut-scenes, there weren’t even any camera angles that give you the feeling of really being immersed in the game. And that’s really what I’d like to see in a Battle Room video game… I want to feel like I’m in there with Dragon Army.
But maybe I’m missing something. Undertow has been getting awards that are encouraging me to take another look, maybe this weekend. Has anyone here played Undertow before, and do you think this would be a good format for the Battle Room game in the works?
Here’s the Undertow trailer; what do you think? Post your thoughts in the comments box down below:
Endervere Comics: Gold Bug Screenshots
It’s almost impossible to find anything online about the Enderverse Comics; outside of the occasional press release from last year, there hasn’t been anything official out there for us to look at, which makes it difficult to spread the gospel. The DabelBrothers.com site has no info, nor really does Marvel.com; even Hatrack.com (Orson Scott Card’s official site) has little info worth mentioning. We’d love to see a more comprehensive site put together to showcase the work, hear the stories behind the story development and artwork, and perhaps sneak previews into future work. But it’s dead out there, folks. So what’s an Enderverse fan to do?
Well, it’s not much, (and we question it’s copyright usage) but there is a site “across the pond” that features some screenshots of the Gold Bug comic:

It includes this one, also found on the Marvel.com site:
