Hey there Garage Games Community!
For those that have been here long enough, you might recall that Xeno Versus: Space Melee was my first game developed with T2D. Unfortunately, after about 1.5 years of work, I'd realized that I had bitten off more than I could chew. The project was too big. Its code too bulky and buggy. Etc... So I took a year off, knocked out three games and really got to know Torque Script and the TGB engine well.
With those games finished and recipients of almost 30 combined reviews, I decided to build upon my new found experience and lessons learned. Xeno Versus was started anew!
(Can someone fix this?)
Among the things I've learned from my first dips into the indie game world is the value of feedback -- lots of it. Sometimes small oversights, or tweaks that I purposely chose not to implement, end up being the things that players miss the most. I have vowed, however, not to repeat that mistake!
With that said, there is an alpha version of my game ready for public dismemberment. There are bugs that I'm aware of (and many I'm sure I'm not). But the game needs to be played. I need to start hearing what's working and what's not.
Please head to alpha.xenoversus.com to download the game. If you fill out the form with your feedback, you can choose (at the bottom of the form) to receive a free game from my site as a thank you. Thoughts on this blog are also most welcome. The more thoughts shared, the better!

Looks good.. a few more AI players in there with some powerups on further unlocked levels would be great.

Star Control was one of my favourite games of all time! Great idea bringing it back!
