GOODBYE EARTH 2025, HELLO CANDLE`BRE
(4 May 2002, 01:27 | About | 39 comments) The changes in our forums continue:
1) Bye bye Earth 2025: After months of inactivity, the Earth 2025 forum was closed.
2) Hello Candle`Bre: We`re happy to welcome one more community project to Apolyton. It`s very first steps were in our forums, but now The Courts of Candle`Bre(as is it`s full name) and Apolyton are much more the connected.
Apolyton now hosts the official Candle`Bre forum as well as the Candle`Bre team forum(which is private and you cant see it unless you`re part of the development team. But it`s there! :))
Cyclotron7, a member of the team describes the game: Candle`bre is a fantasy turn based game in the works by Velocigames (guess who our leader is... no cash prizes) based on a middle ages envrironment. It is a creative effort to make a TBS game without the constraints of the corporate atmoshpere, and using maximum fan input by implementing some open sourcing and very responsive team members.
You can also see the official Candle`Bre site. More is coming at the forums, stay tuned! - MarkG
