Two new games have been added: Science Girls and Space Junk (a freeware Orbital Cows original). Also, Orbital Bricks (another freeware Orbital Cows original) has been updated to version 2.0. New logos have been uploaded for Lucky's Puzzle Carnival and Nanotron. |
| 2009/08/25: Website Updates |
|
I restored the Rael banner and the mention of Rael: The Redemption on the Upcoming page. Also, I made a note of a bug in the freeware Rabbits game on the obscure page of this site upon which it appears. The article Time Cost of Walking Vs. Driving (2009) has been clarified slightly. |
| 2009/08/20: LPC Version 1.03 |
|
Lucky's Puzzle Carnival has been updated to version 1.03. The Orbital Cows 2009 Bundle has been updated with the same version of LPC. This update only changes 2 things: it updates some of the interface artwork and clarifies the General Instructions slightly. Also, the recipes have been removed from the website due to low interest. Later, more relevant articles will be added to the articles page. |
| 2009/08/12: Cool Character Generator |
|
Here's the results I got on a What Kind of Dungeons and Dragons Character Would You Be? website I tried out. While this has nothing to do with Orbital Cows Entertainment, I thought it would be something cool to post about. I Am A: Chaotic Neutral Human Sorcerer (3rd Level)Ability Scores: Strength-11 Dexterity-11 Constitution-12 Intelligence-12 Wisdom-11 Charisma-9 Alignment: Chaotic Neutral A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. A chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer). A chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it. Chaotic neutral is the best alignment you can be because it represents true freedom from both society's restrictions and a do-gooder's zeal. However, chaotic neutral can be a dangerous alignment because it seeks to eliminate all authority, harmony, and order in society. Race: Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like. Class: Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast. What's screwed up is that my prime attribute is only 9. It's my lowest score, though none of my ability scores are particularly high. |

|
The articles Rant: Federal Holidays and Time for A Modern World have been added to replace the old "A New Calendar" article. The article Time Cost of Walking Vs. Driving (2009) is a 2009 update of the article Time Cost of Walking Vs. Driving (2008). Also, the old article was updated to fix a math error. |

| 2009/06/25: Added Charm School |
|
I've added Charm School to our site. It's another cool game from Hanako Games! |
| 2009/05/16: LPC and Nanotron Updates |
|
Lucky's Puzzle Carnival has been updated to version 1.02 for bug fixes. Nanotron has been updated to version 1.02 to include LPC-style slideshows rather than the old stuttery version. Also, the Orbital Cows 2009 Bundle has been made available. It includes both Lucky's Puzzle Carnival and Nanotron. |
| 2009/05/15: Article Updates |
|
The article Ten Worst Groups in the World has been added, and the article Design Pattern Mini-Catalog has been expanded. |
| 2009/04/11: Added Kudos 2 |
|
Kudos 2 is now available from our site. It's an awesome game developed by Positech Games. The screenshots don't do it justice, but it's the best life simulation game out there. I plan to add more games from Positech Games and Hanako Games in the future, but a cut on my finger is making it too hard to type right now. (Yes, I know how stupid that sounds.) |
| 2009/04/05: LPC 1.01 |
|
A version 1.01 of Lucky's Puzzle Carnival has been released. This version has been created to address performance issues on computers using integrated graphics chipsets. Some other minor tweaks have been included as well. Also, the Mac OS X requirements have been lowered to 10.4, rather than 10.5. The Mac OS X version was supposed to be modified in a way that would have required 10.5, but I couldn't get my hands on a computer with Mac OS X 10.5 in time. Hence, the change wasn't made. The post-mortem has been updated appropriately. Kiki's Candyland is being put off into the future, and Rabbit Bureau of Investigation is becoming our next project. This is probably the way it should have been in the first place. As it is, time has been wasted working on Kiki's Candyland, but such is life. |
