Current Project News!

Posted by Pseudolonewolf Mar. 17, 2008 @ 11:56 AM EDT

It's been a while since I released MARDEK 2, and people are understandably asking when the next one will be out. So, I'm going to tell you exactly what's taking so long!

At the moment, MARDEK 3 is about 30% complete, but it's postponed temporarily while I work on some other game(s). I'll get back to it soon, but these other games will be released relatively quickly, and might interest people!

Firstly, there's a platformer called 'Raider' that I worked on years ago but never finished, and I'm currently sort of trying to finish it. It's not an RPG, but it has "RPG elements" to it, like stats, etc. It's a sci-fi side-scrolling platformer though.
I don't know how long that will take to release, or whether people will like it when it IS, but I just want to get it out of the way since I started it almost two years ago, and keep just leaving it for months...

Other than that though, I'm also working on a game called "Beast Signer".
It's basically a Pokemon clone; that is, you catch and train monsters, and battle with them and so on. It uses a variant of the MARDEK engine, and has similar graphics.
It'll be MASSIVE, and might appeal to people; you can read more about it [HERE].

What I plan to do is work on Raider and Beast Signer simultaneously - as I'm doing now (if I work on just one game for too long, it gets tedious and I lose motivation and get nothing done) - and release a 'demo' of Beast Signer as soon as possible. After releasing that, I'll be updating Beast Signer in weekly installments, so a 'Full, Finished Game' version won't be released any time soon (or at all...?), and instead it will be regularly updating. Yes. I think I'm repeating myself and rambling!

As soon as the Beast Signer demo is out, I'll get back to MARDEK 3!

I can't give you any dates for any releases - not even vague approximations - but, uh... I'd like to say "Beast Signer or Raider will be out in maybe a month!", but don't take my word for that! It could be sooner, could be later.
It takes a long time to make a complex game though, as you might realise if you've made Flash games yourself. If you HAVEN'T made them before, then try making your own before telling me to "hurry up", so then you can understand how much work it actually requires...

Raider's about 80% - 90% done though, and Beast Signer's about the same (well, if 100% would be considered "ready for a demo release", anyway).

Anyway, uh... This is news!

As an aspiring game programmer I can appreciate how long Mardek 2 must have taken to make. I'm sure M3 will be greatly received whenever it comes out. Keep up the good work.

Awesome!!


Mar. 17, 2008 | 7:07 PM kibas-cool says:

whenever it actually does come out, im going to come to your userpage and report ALL of the glitches i find. Im guessing its going to be a considerable amount, so look out for it


Mar. 17, 2008 | 9:56 PM bryan1231 says:

im looking forward to your new games! i think they'll be great! goodluck on mardek

Mardek fan reporting. Hoping to see third one shortly after the other two games are done, but I must say that the Beast signer game has me curious as well, looks quite detailed and involved based on the screenshots. I'm looking forward to that as well! Best of luck with those projects. Though I have programming experience, I have nothing close to the stamina and dedication you have for the trade, hat's off to you for such impressive patience sir!


Mar. 18, 2008 | 9:03 AM peterf1 says:

beast signer looks awesome. Now shut up and get back to work! I want my fire-breathing fox!


Mar. 18, 2008 | 1:13 PM Phil says:

Mar. 20, 2008 | 4:56 AM bryan1231 says:

Apr. 8, 2008 | 10:48 PM bryan1231 says:

umm dont you think you should update daily? it only stays at 150 monsters you should update it daily even if you just created 1 monster atleast it shows us the game is progressing!


Apr. 14, 2008 | 4:33 AM assassinajni says:

yay:D i love your games:D yayayay you own =]


Apr. 18, 2008 | 7:43 AM Piss says:

When is Mardek Two gonna be released?


Apr. 18, 2008 | 7:07 PM yummymelon says:

I just wanna say, raider is pretty unpopular and not so appealing as I know of it so why are you bothering to finish it?


Apr. 22, 2008 | 10:34 AM Squalling says:

Although you haven't submitted very many flash projects like some people out there, your games have quality and length that far surpasses alot of the others that I have seen. Good job, and I can't wait for MARDEK 3.


Apr. 23, 2008 | 8:38 AM NinjaGrandad says:

Can't wait for Beast Signer!!!! AWESOME SHIT MATE! ;D


May. 4, 2008 | 12:40 PM Terrorofdeath says:

May. 19, 2008 | 2:55 AM DarkDragon627 says:

No worries Pseudo. Take your time. The more time you put into the next chapter of Mardek, along with your other games, the better and more polished they will be. I'm looking forward to your future releases.


May. 25, 2008 | 10:39 PM trennard says:

May. 25, 2008 | 10:40 PM trennard says:

whoops hehe that comment ment to be for Mardek 2!


Jun. 9, 2008 | 1:09 AM ThisIsNotReal says:

I am a little sick of hearing all the people who took points off of reviewing Mardek 2 because it took so long to come out. I look forward to seeing what other games you have in store and I will be sure to review them.


Jun. 17, 2008 | 11:25 AM hollymarkie says:

well i'm waiting and shall be one of the first hwo plays Mardek 3. i got one question about beast catcher from what i readed from your website. is beast catcher something like the pokémon games or shall it be somthing completly differend


Jun. 23, 2008 | 9:54 AM Rojoe says:

First of all, I would like to say how much I liked Mardek 1 and 2. I don't care how long the wait is, as long as it's a good game.

On the Beast Signer, it won't hurt to have a sandbox mode for people to create monsters after finishing the game. And if they can be updated to the game every so often, then other online players can catch and get them also. It's probally best to have a selection of body parts and number of that body part (like two heads or four wings or three tails). It would probally have to be censored though, and I understand if you can't put it on there. I don't know how much more programming it would take for something like this.

Um...also, are you putting monsters from Merdek on this? Or are they different?


Jul. 7, 2008 | 4:25 AM joe633 says:

how do you find the hidden passageways in Mardek 2? im lost and cant find it. And wheres the store the sign was talking about?
Responds pls or ill be sad :(


Jul. 21, 2008 | 12:33 PM BFOverlord says:

Im so relieved that a 3rd Mardek will be out I recently began playing them again and got to wondering if you had started on it or even had plans to, I had went to your site, and didn't see it in any of the line ups (although I neglected the forums) and I was very worried and disappointed. I can't wait until ANY of your projects finished, you are a very talented author. Good luck, and Yalort Speed? Lol, seriously though, good luck to you.


Aug. 13, 2008 | 10:43 AM Galbatorix26 says:

I played both Mardek 1 and 2 and they are great games. Beast Signer looks very good so hurry up with those last 30 beasts so we can all play the demo!!


Aug. 29, 2008 | 6:55 AM Bob1234567890X says:

When Mardek 3 is out I will play it until I beat it !!!!!


Aug. 31, 2008 | 6:43 PM MrBurr says:

Popular demand calls for M3, nothing else. Your life, as you know it, is to finish the Mardek series, nothing else. We need more Mardek! Ooga booga!!!


Aug. 31, 2008 | 9:13 PM BonzoRonzan says:

Why do people like Mardek so much?????I mean, its a great game like everything else PLW makes, but I just don't like playing as pre-made characters. I like his other games like Deliverance and Best Signer much more, as it presents the player with much more customization. I wouldn't be dissapointed at all if PLW decided to drop Mardek all together, as it would mean more progress on BS or FHO.


Sep. 1, 2008 | 1:57 PM MrBurr says:

You know what, after playing BS alpha and the FHO demo, I sort of agree with BonzoRonzan, but I think the reason why there's such a demand for Mardek is because you've established much more of a story than BS or FHO. Although I think they're all typical RPG stories, BS is the most intriguing plus it's got a lot of kickass gameplay (even if it's an exact clone of Pokemon). I mean, if you continue to make flash games (which I think you will to a certain extent before you're finally driven crazy and hunt down your fans with [I was going to insert one of the weapons from your games, but I can't think of one very clever off the top of my head so let's say... a butterknife!]. Anyways, if you continue to make flash games, BS is definitely worth the effort. I also wouldn't mind playing that version 2 game which you said would include FHO in it.
Here is my best piece of advice: do what interests you. If you don't find it interesting, it will likely be less interesting to the rest of us than something you find exciting. If Mardek becomes a real pain in the ass, find a way to making it exciting again.
Also, if you need help, you have thousands of fans. Not only can they test, but they can help advertise for you, and there are even a handful who have other talents as well. If you have an army, use them.
Okay, I'm done. Keep it up. Yalort says so!


Sep. 6, 2008 | 4:28 AM assassinajni says:

hey pseudo can you please update your newgrounds profile news?

and when your done making the games can you post em on kongregate.com too?:D


Sep. 23, 2008 | 6:28 PM trennard says:

cooleo!!! i think that the demos will be awesome but i REALLY want mardek 3 to come out, i cant believe the guy died... its so suspenseful!!!! But I'm not rushing you because i haven't made a flash yet but i know it must be frustrating :(


Oct. 2, 2008 | 9:03 PM kokunut9 says:

thats a lot of stuff you're making... seeing as i cant beat mardek 2 at the moment, ill be looking forward to raider and beast signer! good luck!


Oct. 5, 2008 | 11:06 AM rafico says:

I have a question...
I visited the Beast Signer webpage about 5 months ago...And it was at 25%. I visited it today and it is still at 25%. I know it takes time making a game...But I'm still wondering if you haven't...you know...abbandoned your players, your fans...We are still waiting for your games. For instance, I'm a Mardek fan...And I log on a lot and the first thing I check is if Mardek 3 has come out...Please, just leave us a message saying if your still here, working hard like you always worked. Or if you left your projects...We just want to know...


Oct. 10, 2008 | 9:33 AM Havayosunu says:

Great! Waiting for those two games. I hope they ll keep me busy while you complete making Mardek 3.


Oct. 19, 2008 | 5:27 PM lindsayjam says:

I can't wait for Mardek 3, and Beast Signer. I'm not telling you to hurry up, but could you keep us updated? most of the posts on the site are from 2007...


Nov. 4, 2008 | 6:43 PM trennard says:

I hope you finish your submissions, i bet they will be great.
