 Bit Fortress is a new shmup created by me. With a new take on retro arcade/simplistic graphics, Bit fortress brings oldschool shmup action to modern hardware. The demo features 3 full levels and bosses, along with a full ranking system, not to mention original neo-chiptune music by me!

Check out the gameplay and download the demo!:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wsg05SLrHQA

 A little late for Halloween, but a terrific idea for next year.

Check it.

The roguelike Dwarf Fortress has been given a pixel make-over in the form of Stonesense, a third-party visualiser for the game which is currently in its third alpha release. Stonesense takes the original ASCII-based graphics and converts them into isometric visuals.

The open source mod is being developed by "Jonask" and "Solifuge" with graphics currently being created by members of the Dwarf Fortress community. Check out the official thread here.

Also, head over to TIGSource for more info, a screenshot and a video of Stonesense in action.
