Flatspace IIk News

Hello everyone,

Flatspace, the classic first game, has been released today for free.

Like my other Steam releases, the game engine has been updated, and features some new high-resolution graphics for modern computers plus the same controller support as in Flatspace IIk.

The original Flatspace game lacks some of the finesse and gameplay balancing of Flatspace IIk (what, no Machine Gun Ammo??!), but it will allow people, particularly new players, to explore and try the Flatspace universe.

Enjoy playing.

Hello everyone,

The latest Cornutopia game, Future Pool has been released today.

The new remaster features new high-resolution graphics, full controller support, a new soundtrack, and lots of gameplay enhancements. If you haven't yet tried Future Snooker or Future Pool, please take a look:

Radioactive, Future Snooker and Future Pool are perfect for the new "Remote Play Together" in Steam, which enables two or more players to enjoy local multiplayer games over the internet. Only one player needs to own the game to play against a friend in this way.

The game is available now for $8.99 USD with a 10% launch discount.

Flatspace IIk v1.05 is now live.

Here's a complete list of the changes:

-New game icon.
-New heading font.
-Slight adjustment to Flatspace IIk title image (and new image for Flatspace II - if that ever gets used).
-Removal of GUI Mouse Sensitivity to match the behaviour in Future Snooker and other contemporary games, pointer now naturally moves more slowly on larger screens.
-New credits text.
-Fix to accented character conversion in text files.
-Intro tunnel ending now synchronised with music as in classic Flatspace.
-The 'Press F1' message appears at the start of each game.
-Players of the same class now start in the same sector (in a fixed or seeded universe).

Some of these changes are in preparation for the free release of the first Flatspace game at the end of January 2020. More details to come.

Hi All,

A slight update to the new Flatspace beta today. Players of the same class will now start in the same sector. This is similar to how classic Flatspace handled it (well, all games started in the same sector in Flatspace). This adds a familiarity to the start of each game, you get to know the base and place where you start each game, so helps new players acclimatise. Of course, seeded universes (Custom Games) start in a different sector (but still the same for each seed) and random universes start in a random sector.

The new Flatspace IIk v1.05 beta is now available to test in the beta testing section of your Steam box. Give it a try.

As with previous updates, this changes are largely small engine updates so won't affect gameplay, and will preserve save game integrity.

-New game icon.
-New heading font.
-Intro tunnel ending now synchronised with music as in classic Flatspace.
-Slight change to 'Flatspace IIk' image.
-Removal of GUI Mouse Sensitivity to match the behaviour in Future Snooker and other contemporary games, pointer now moves more slowly on larger screens automatically.
-New text & red background on the Credits screen.
-Fix to foreign character conversion in text files.
-The 'Press F1' message appears at the start of each game.

If everything works, the new update will go public in a few days.
