Hey guys, get some coffee or something to drink, I think this is going to be a long one.

First up, you guys asked for it, and now the game finally supports mouse controls to fly the ship. Here, watch this video.

Helena the 3rd is a 3D action platforming game. Guide your tank Helena over rough terrain, battling hostile enemies, and occasionally needing to leave your tank to access areas Helena can't reach in search of upgrades and other treasures.

I've brought shader support into the game engine, so that everything should look much more vibrant!

Well today we at Only Human Studio have hit a milestone in the development of Ensign -1. We have reached a point where we feel happy to release the public Alpha build of Ensign -1 to all those that have backed us via Kickstarter and 8-bit funding.

Our team is working on polishing the game for an alpha release now. I've been working on adding info to the HUD as well as giving players a few more options while out in space. Rusty has made an incredible "asteroid belt" themed mission for us.

This week we talk about the upcoming space game "Ensign-1" by Only Human Studios. Our guests are Brandon Smith (aka."Onion") the lead programmer, and Kevin Pears (aka."Rusty") the artist and level designer. They have taken the time to answer some general questions about where the game is heading and how it will get there:

Development on the single player campaign is well underway, complete with a little story, a mission map, and a single mission. In addition, we've opened crowd-funding back up, for the people that missed it the first time.

In this article I talk about manning turrets, fighting capital ships, and explosions

One last push/reminder: we've got a Kickstarter campaign going on right now at Kickstarter.com , and without your support, we might not be able to make this game! So please tell your friends!

Only Human Studios have launched a more recent trailer depicting their recently released Linux game Helena the 3rd. Helena The 3rd is an action platformer where you pilot a tank named Helena capable of jumping. Exploring various styled underground caverns and battling hostile robotic enemies. You'll need to leave your vehicle on occasion to explore rooms you can only get to by foot. Gameplay switches from 3rd person to FPS as you search for the powerful upgrades you'll need to progress to new areas.

Well ladies (any out there?) and gents Helena the Third is now available directly through indievania (another awesome indie game site!) for Windows and Linux

Charlies Games has released his shmup Scoregasm today. Scoregasm is available on Windows, Mac and Linux priced at a respectable $10

Here I'm just talking about what I'm currently working on with my space sim, network programming and how docking on ships will work.

Helena the 3rd is coming along nicely, we are 1-2 weeks away from completion now. We have some new additional models enemies and some new features added to the engine.

In our previous article we wrote about Helena reaching the final stages of production and we went into what we were going to be working on to wrap up production. This time around I wish to tell you guys what our successes and failures have been over the past few weeks.

Now the end is approaching, what do we have planned for Helena? Helena the 3rd is now in the final production stages, we have started work on our final world (Lava World). Lava world will feature fiery projectiles that will shoot from the lava bed. A new power-up for our hero a rocket pack, which gives our hero a fun double boost to his jump. The final showdown with our as of yet unnamed end of game boss.

Troy from my games company posted on our forums his teaser trailer of Dirk dashing 2. I have moved the full post to the news section so you can see the trailer in action. Up until now, I've only shown still screenshots, so this is your first look at the game in-action! Even though it's short (it's a teaser), you can see the new graphics and lighting effects, Dirk's new tranquilizer dart gun, some of Dirk's new moves, and some of the new characters - including the Ninja I just finished!

Helena the 3rd is an action platforming game available on Linux and Windows. Helena uses varying viewpoints within the game e.g. 3d, fps, 3rd person and 2d. You take control of an upgradeable hi-tech tank, Helena the 3rd travelling over rough terrain and battling hostile enemies. You will need to leave your tank to access areas Helena can't reach in search of upgrades and other treasures needed to progress further into the game.

Hi I'm Kevin Pears but I like to be called Rustybolts. I am the level designer of Helena the 3rd. I am writing to let you know of a indie game myself and the rest of our team (Only Human Studios) have been working on.
