Starwraith 3D Games has just released its hit titles Starwraith IV and Riftspace for the public in honor of the release of Arvoch Conflict and Evochron Renegades, their latest titles.

Both games have been created around 2004 and are a showcase of the power of DarkBASIC.

Starwraith IV: Reviction is a arcade military space sim with a story explained in cutscenes and mission descriptions, pretty cool graphics and multiplayer modes ranging from Dogfight to Capture the Sphere. You play as the pilot of a small squadron, which you can boss around with simple but effective commands as Attack, Scatter, Defend and Form. Your mission objectives range from retrieving escape pods to carrier assault missions. Also, a random mission generator guarantees lots of fun for space enthusiasts.

Riftspace is a freeform mercenary space sim in which the player chases a mysterious Vonari artifact, claiming to hold the secret of a planet that will give shelter to a dying race. The player is free to become a trader, pilot or mercenary as he/she wishes to. It features an extensive ship upgrade system among other fun features. Riftspace - contrary to Starwraith IV and later more extensive mercenary titles as Evochron - is singleplayer only. It does have an online ranking system to show of your made fortune.

If you like Starwraith IV, you might also want to check out the sequal and far more advanced military spacesim Arvoch Conflict. If you enjoy playing Riftspace, even more choices, options and a seamless universe including planet descends can be found in Evochron Renegades.

Both free titles can be downloaded at www.starwraith.com, both halfway down the website (Classics / Free SW3D Games).

Questions can be asked here, or at the forums.

Heh, I was recently surprised when he sent one of his customers a spare compatible motherboard since the guys old one didn't support more RAM.

So yeah, generous is a good word.

That's odd, he's available 24/7 per week through the support page on his website and he has a support team on the forums...

Those are not by Shawn, he's licensing them. So yes, that would be against copyrights.

It's Shawn. And no, I'm afraid he does not make a lot of cash. Every released title must yield a certain amount to continue developing and up till now, most games have just made that financial border. I guess his generosity is just how he is: He financed a part of DBC1.2 as well.

It'd be great if he'd get some additional buys through here, I guess - the main reason why I posted this here.

Yeah, basically .

Do drop a line at his forums if you enjoy his games. Would really be a motivational boost.

You mean in Evochron Renegades? Heh, the coolest thing is the game has an editor in which you can actually position and scale most components of your ship, including the engine, fuel tanks, shield arrays, frame, and wings. So you can personalize your ship and take it into MP to test it against others. Quite fun.
