| 8 May 2010 - Arcade update |
None of the Vitalize-driven games are available for play any longer. The host of the hiscores has closed down. Not that many of them were working anyway. Maybe some will reappear in some form, but there are many projects being worked on. A new website, a number of new/updated Flash-based and download games. Time will tell.
|
| |
| 19 March 2010 - Brand new version of Spaze Invaderz released |
Flash
development is now progressing well. The result is a new version of
Spaze Invaderz. The gameplay remains the same, but with new graphics,
sound effects and interface. A new retro graphics mode is included in
addition to the new standard graphics. Spaze Invaderz now also includes
a working highscore system. Click here to play the game.

| 6 March 2010 -
Flash version of Sub-Games |
The
first experiments with the Flash runtime has resulted in a Flash
version of Sub-Games. It's a test, and the game is updated/experimented
with along the way. Check it out in the arcade.

| 13 August 2009 -
Yearly update |
What's going
on? Well here's what's happening:
The platform
game announced in October
2007 was scrapped in 2008.
Currently a couple of new
projects are underway however.
One of them is a new website.
Not terribly exciting, but
fortunately two new games
is also underway. If they
are ever released remains
to be seen. However I'm hard
at work with the engine of
one of the games currently.
It's looking good so far.
Further into the project I
will reveal more info.

| 3 April 2008 -
Most online games now work again |
The online
scoring function has not worked
for a very long time. Not
long ago most of the online
games where fixed though.
The games that now work are:
Spaze Invaderz, CoLoRs NEXT,
RI2, Sub-Games and Jacky Bomb.
Note Robotic Invasion does
not work. Neither do any of
the download games. The problem
can't be fixed at the moment.
If it's possible in the future
a re-release is certain. You
can access the
arcade here.
|
| |
| 6 January 2008 -
Sub-Games released |
You can now
try out the new overhauled
version of Sub-Game called
Sub-Games. This new version
contains an all new arcade
mode, as well as the classic
mode. The classic mode plays
like the original game, only
now with new graphics. The
arcade is a more accessible
mode where missions will be
added from time to time. Online
high score maybe added later
when it becomes technically
possible. Start playing here.
A note concerning
the game: This release is
a small part of a very ambitious
project TechVision had in
mind for Sub-Games. Maybe
one day those plans will be
realized.

| 31 October 2007 -
New platform game underway |
It's always
good to bring positive news:
A new platform game is currently
being created. It's very exciting
as everything is going great
so far. Basic engine is almost
complete. Hopefully within
the next month or so the engine
will be complete. But there's
no rush. This game is going
to take quite some time, but
hopefully it will be worth
it. Tidbits of info will be
available as the project progresses.

| 13 September 2007
- Status |
To put it mildly, it's been
quite a while. TechVision
has laid pretty low for the
last year or more. During
the last couple of weeks activity
has resurrected. Two new projects
are now under work. You will
hear more about them when
the time is right.
Note concerning the
highscores: Neither
viewing or submitting works
right now. When Clickteam
releases Vitalize 4 all games
will be updated. This also
means that all current download
games are, and will continue
to be non-working when it
comes to high score submitting.
The coming versions will rectify
this problem.
|
| |
| 1 August 2006 - Hiscore pages not working |
The
high scores are working, so it's a bit different from the other hiscore
problems. It's just that the php pages which enables you to view the
scores online aren't working. You can still see them in-game, and
submitting scores still works fine.
|
| |
| 12 February 2006 - Spaze Invaderz out now |
At long last the download
version of Spaze Invaderz
is released. Fullscreen option,
joypad control option, original
mp3 music soundtrack is some
of the differences from the
online version. Also check
out the new Spaze
Invaderz minisite and
download the game.
|
| |
| 06 February 2006 - Spaze Invaderz release announcement |
|
After
quite a long time the download version of Spaze Invaderz is finally
going to be released. The game has been more or less ready for several
months but the constant score server problems and other details had
delayed the release. Now the date is finally set. Sunday the 12th of
February the game will finally be ready for download. |
| |
| 04 December 2005 - Highscore system working again |
|
Once again the problems seem to be fixed. The VCade site itself isn't completely re-established but the scores seem to work. |
| |
| 12 November 2005 - High score submitting NOT working. Again... |
|
All
TechVision games with online high scores (download and online games)
are not working at the moment. You can't submit or view scores for the
time being. Some of the online games won't even start. The problem is
at VCade which is hosting the score tables for all the TechVision
games. I hope they get everything up and running again soon. |
| |
| 15 October 2005 - High score submitting problem fixed. |
|
The problems VCade were having seem to be fixed, and the highscores are now working again. |

| 1 May 2005 - techvision-games.com launched |
The site
has now been moved to the new
server, and a new domain name
is in place: http://techvision-games.com.
The site has some new features,
of which the most noteworthy
is the ability to view the highscores
of all the download games at
their respective pages. A lot
of tweaks and changes have been
made. All download and online
games are updated with the new
url. The page now uses quite
a lot of php, to view scores,
send mail and submit/unsubmit
newsletters. If you find any
link errors or such, please
contact
TechVision. |
| |
| 5 April 2005 - Website restructuring |
|
Because
of the lack of space on the current server a dedicated webspace and
domain is now being prepared for the hosting of the TechVision website.
There will not be a new design but a major restructuring will take
place. Most of these changes will not make any diffrence to the
visitor, but will make the maintaining of the site a bit easier. There
isn't any deadline or anything, but the project started today. You will
be notified of the progress. |
| |
| 20 February 2005 - New Spaze Invaderz out now |
TechVision has released the new version of Spaze Invaderz at the Arcade.

addition to the tweaked controls, Spaze Invaderz now has original
graphics, and new sound effects. The online high score board saves up
to 100 players. Head over to the Arcade and play now! |
| |
| 20 January 2005 - Jacky Bomb download out now |
TechVision has released the download version of Jacky Bomb. Click here to go the site Jacky Bomb.

|
| |
| |
| 19 October 2004 - Spaze Invaderz 2 nearing completion
|
|
The
downlaod version of Spaze Invaderz (and the new online, so far entitled
Spaze Invaderz 2) has been a long time coming. Now the game is almost
ready. the decision to create original graphics for the game was taken
a short while back. The very first version of the game had same
graphics the game has today. Therefore it's about time to give it a
graphic overhaul.The game also has a new interface now. You can read
more at the project page.
A long time has passed since the
last update on the site. It's close to three months ago. The target is
to at least have a monthly update. |
| |
| |
| 28 July 2004 - Robotic Invasion 2.3 released
|
|
TechVision
has released Robotic Invasion 2.3. It means that the project of giving
all games a proper fullscreen/windowed mode is complete. There are also
other new features in the game. Go to the games page and click on the
documentation to find out. Robotic Invasion 2 Online will be released
shortly. The updated Robotic Invasion Online was released a couple of
weeks ago. It wasn't mentioned here until now. |
| |
| |
| 9 July 2004 - Robotic Invasion 1.8 released
|
|
TechVision
has released Robotic Invasion 1.8. It was actually decided to stop any
further work on this game, but the resolution problems (see news post
from 27 May 2004) meant that action had to be taken. There are also
some other additions like online high score, new music and such. See
the documentation for a full list of updates. Robotic Invasion Online
will follow soon (And then RI2 and RI2 Online). |
| |
| |
| 17 June 2004 - IMPORTANT INFO!
|
|
The
wrong files were distributed with the release of CoLoRs NEXT 1.1. The
score submit for II CoLoRs mode did not work. Please download again,
and sorry for the trouble. |
| |
| |
| 15 June 2004 - CoLoRs NEXT 1.1 Released
|
|
Due
to a bug found in III colors mode a new version has been released of
CoLoRs NEXT. Some graphical updates and changes are in as well. Take a
look at the documentation, for a complete listing of changes. CoLoRs
NEXT online has also been updated. |
| |
| |
| 27 May 2004 - New Sub-Game New screen + preview updated
|
|
TechVision
has released a screen from Sub-Game New. The game is still very much
work in progress, but now the game design is really rolling. |
| |
| |
| 27 May 2004 - Robotic Invasion and RI2 to be re-released.
|
|
TechVision's
two platform games are to receive the same treatment as CoLoRs did last
year. Like CoLoRs, the two games uses the fit to current screensize
feature. In retrospect this was the wrong move, since users should be
given the choice of fullscreen/windowed. What's even worse is that the
current fullscreen option will not change the screen size (therefore
it's called fit to screensize) but instead stretch the image. The new
way is proper fullscreen where the screensize will be changed by the
program. The people who has the most problems with the current method,
is the people who are using very high resolution settings. They will
definitely benefit from the new solution. Whetever to include more
changes such as online high score is currently being debated. Expect
the re-releases this summer. |
| |
| |
| 22 May 2004 - CoLoRs NEXT Online released
|
|
TechVision
has released an online version of the latest game, CoLoRs NEXT. The
game is basically the same with both of the original modes. Due to the
fact that this version is played in the browser you will (of course)
not be able to play it in fullscreen mode. You can't change the
keylayout either. Other than that it's the same game. If you haven't
played CoLoRs NEXT yet, head over to the Arcade, and start playing! |
| |
| |
| 10 May 2004 - Note
about online high scores
|
|
The scores
now appear to be working again.
If any problems are encountered,
please conctact TechVision. |
| |
| |
| 6 May 2004 - Note:
Online high score boards not working
|
|
The V-Cade
who is responsible for the online
high score boards in three TechVision
games are switching to a new
server. Please note that you
will not be able to view the
online high score boards for
CoLoRs and CoLoRs NEXT. Spaze
Invaderz World League is not
functioning until the server
switch is in place. Whetever
any submitted scores will be
saved while the the new server
is being set up is questionable. |
| |
| |
| 12 April 2004 - CoLoRs
NEXT released |
|
You can now
download the latest game from
TechVision, CoLoRs NEXT. The
game is a sequel to the original
CoLoRs. CoLoRs NEXT has two
game modes and two online high
score boards for you to compete.
Go to the Games page to download
CoLoRs NEXT. |
| |
| |
| 1 April 2004 - Name
of new CoLoRs game |
|
CoLoRs NEXT
is the name of the sequel to
CoLoRs. The game will be released
in April. Right now the final
details and testing are in progress. |
| |
| |
| 1 March 2004 - Okay
so it... |
|
didn't come
in February. But CoLoRs new
is almost done. No really. It
is. |
| |
| |
| 4 February 2004 -
New CoLoRs game in February
|
|
TechVision
is pleased to announce the forthcoming
release of the sequel to CoLoRs.
It's full title is not yet decided,
but the game is practically
just around the corner. It should

a screenshot and read up on
this game. |
| |
| |
| 27 December 2003 -
CoLoRs 1.3 released |
|
The new version
of CoLoRs has been released.
The two most important features
is the new online high score
board, so you will be able to
compare your score with all
the other players of CoLoRs.
The second is the choice you
now have between windowed/fullscreen
mode. If you were using a very
high monitor resolution it would
make the former version of this
game slow, even on powerful
computers. Now you can choose,
where before you had to resize
your desktop to make it play
properly (if you had a very
high resolution). Check the
games section for the new version
of CoLoRs. |
| |
| |
| 14 December 2003 -
TechVision is still here
|
Not much
has been going on lately.
Sub-Game New is not going
to come out this year. It
hasn't been worked on for
ages now. This will hopefully
change in the coming holidays.
CoLoRs will be updated with
with an online score submitting
feature. Spaze Invaderz World
League will also be sent out
as a download game in the
near future.
|
| |
| |
| 21 September 2003
- Spaze Invaderz World League
launched |
TechVision
has launched a new version
of Spaze Invaderz. In this
version you can play against
the highscores of everyone
who play the game. The scores
are now stored on a server,
where before they were saved
on your local machine. Think
you have what it takes to
become one of the best Spaze
Invaderz players? Head over
to the arcade!
|
| |
| |
| 21 September 2003
- Sub-Game New level design is
rolling |
The level
design on Sub-Game New's specific
game modes has begone. The
game is expected to have about
three game modes, where one
of them is the "Classic" mode.
The classic mode plays like
the Sub-Game that's currently
in the "Arcade" section. That
mode has been completed. Now
work has begune on the "+"
mode as it's dubbed for the
time being. The game is still
sceduled for a end 2003 release.
The "Projects" page has been
updated, with news concerning
both games there.
|
| |
| |
| 18 August 2003 - Spaze
Invaderz postponed + Sub-Game news
|
Spaze Invaderz
will not be out in August. The
development of the game relies
on some plugins that the current
software doesn't support. Therefore
the game has been postponed.
It's not all bad news however.
Development on Sub-Game New
has sped up. The first play
mode has been completed. TechVision
targets a winter 2003 release.
Expect more news and shots this
fall/winter.
|
| |
| |
| July 14 2003 - Spaze
Invaderz download version in August
|
Spaze Invaderz,
the download version, is on
the way. The game will be
more or less a straight port
of the version found in the
arcade. There will be changes
to the menu, and the game
will be in fullscreen. It's
not yet decided if any additional
features will be included.
|
| |
| |
| 1 June 2003 - Version
7 of the TechVision website
|
Welcome
to the new website of
TechVision. Hope you like
it. What's new, apart
from the apparent new
lick of paint? On the
right side of this page
you can see a new feature
of the site. You can submit
your e-mail address, to
know when the site is
updated. You won't receive
any spammails for sure.
The arcade has a new game
in it. Well almost new.
It's Spaze Invaderz the
version released earlier
this year at planet-klik.com.
The new site format
The new site has been
built in xhtml 1.0. The
previous site was built
in html 4.01. The new
format makes it even more
accessible to the different
kinds of devices and browsers
users connect to the internet
with. The increased use
of cascading style sheets,
has also made it possible
to create nice graphical
stylings without major
affects of the kb size
each page clock in at.
