Here is the latest screenshot from my next game Taskforce, 8 weeks into the massive redevelopment so far:



The game will be part of the Steam Summer Game festival in June and the Demo Page went public today. Unsure when you will be able to play the demo yet, it's partly down to the Festival rules and guidelines, but it will be in May or June.

The game is due for release on July 24th. I need to make a new video next, as the graphics engine has been completely redesigned since the last one. I'm posting updates in the regular News/Announcements section of the Taskforce page, as well as here and on the Cornutopia Software Facebook Page.

Hello everyone,

The third Flatspace IIk Music Pack will be released in one week! Like any in-game music for Flatspace, these will trigger at random when you enter a new sector. This will probably be the final music pack. Collect all three to own the ultimate version of Flatspace.

The original Music Pack 3 for Flatspace II was released in 2013. Some of these pieces of music are included here too, but I also wanted to include some recent music to evoke feelings of space at the end of time; feelings of awe and coldness, silver, and darkness.

The music in this pack includes:

-Adrift In Flat Space.
An original track for this Music Pack, this track is an essentially solo-piano improvisation on the Flatspace theme

-Jellyfish.
A tune full of energy and melody.

-Paragon
Paragon is one of the final tracks from one of my earliest albums, Animalia. The music was inspired by Darwinian genetics, the ladder of species.

-Race The Sky
A supremely happy track was inspired by console racing games.

-Requiem For A Million Skin Cells
Composed in 2017 for the album Cycles & Shadows, this
brooding piano track originally began with a droned speech
about the ageing process

-The Dying Of The Stars
A new track for this music pack, I wanted to include music that had a naturalistic feeling, that could evoke the beauty and mystery of outer space.

-The Race
A fast and happy electronic tune, inspired by both console
game music and J.S. Bach!

-Tiny Moon
A simple piece of music.

-Waiting For The Rain To End
A brooding and slightly melancholic piece of music
composed in 2009 for my album The Twelve Seasons.

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to announce that our next release will be Taskforce: The Mutants of October Morgane. Taskforce is a turn-based squad-level strategy game; think of games like X-COM or the WarHammer turn-based games. I developed Taskforce originally in 2004, and unlike Flatspace, this is a genre I've been working on for many years.

Taskforce is the 4th game of this type I've created since 1994, the first Taskforce game was on Amiga back then, then came Hilt II, then Arcangel in 1999.

Keep in touch for news on this release, which will probably be in late summer. Meanwhile, here is an image of the game in development; team TF1 ready for equipment in Taskforce H.Q.
