BlinkenSisters 0.5.2 released
The BlinkenSisters team is proud to annouce Release of Version0.5.2.
In addition to a completly new, object-oriented LUA scripting, we also added more add-ons, levels, background music. We also added many features like high-scores, limited-time levels and a big bunch of small things.
This release fixes also a huge number of bugs and issues.
"BlinkenSisters for SOS Kinderdorf" campaign
The "BlinkenSisters for SOS Kinderdorf" campaign is our (and your) contribution to the ones most in need: The children, who don't have a home (or parents, for that matter). Before and during the 24th Chaos Communication Congress, we'll sell BlinkenSisters-CD's for €10,-- apiece. ALL of the money, every single cent of your 10 Euros, will go directly to SOS Kinderdorf.
Please support us in supporting the children!
Chaos Communication Congress 2007
2007-11-16: It's now official: The team will be present at the 24c3, we'll bring our Blink-O-Mat gaming hardware and sell CD's for a good cause.
If you're there, visit us! We'll take feature requests and help you develop your own add-ons!
BlinkenSisters 0.5.1 released
2007-11-02: This release, Version 0.5.1, is mostly a bugfix release. It is recommended that all users upgrade to this version, as it fixes some problems that might get the player stuck.
This release also fixes some compile-time issues and a number of performance problems on older machines.
The team also fixed a number of problems related to the "BlinkenPlayer", the BlinkenSisters music player. This former "Windows-only" application now also runs on Linux, Unix, BSD und MacOSX.
BlinkenSisters 0.5 released
2007-10-09: We did it! We just brought you the newest, greatest edition of "BlinkenSisters - Hunt for the Lost Pixels"!
This Release (beta) is a major step forward from where 0.4 was:
We greatly enhanced scripting support, completly rewrote collission detection, changed menu layout, .lostpixels layout, reworked parts of the physics, added support for our "Blink-O-Mat" demo hardware and removed about a thousand bugs (as well adding some).
All-in-all, the game engine is now smarter, faster, more robust and has a ton more features you can use by way of scripting
We also hereby deeply apoligize for the prolonged wait (me, cavac, takes all the blame), but on the bright side, "when it's done" didn't take us "forever". On the even brighter side, X-Mas will get you a quick-release with enhanced scripting and an X-Mas special add-on.
For bug reports and feature requests, please use the projects bugtracking systems; for anything else we're happy to hear from you by mail at "team AT blinkensisters DOT org"
