Rod 3D Announced (01 February 2008 - 07:54)
Reported by James Bunting

Rod 3D is a remake of Rod and is due for release in Q1 2008. Beta testing will start in February.

Being a remake, Rod 3D keeps many of the original game’s properties for example tiles and a basic selection of objects and enemies. In basic terms this is a 3D game where tiles have heights and models replace older object sprites.

Testing will begin soon, in the meantime Mike323 has written an article discussing his experience with the game. http://mike.jbgames.com/

Classic meteor mod is another one of my M1 mods that instead of running on it's own theme, like my previous mods, This mod will just be a huge set of M1 maps that use the as much of the original enemies and tileset as possible. It's not really that much of a mod, just a huge assortment of maps. No release date is has been made yet, but 15 or so maps are already done.

Meteormods.com Getting Updated! (21 March 2007 - 01:25)

M2 makes its mark in google! (16 March 2007 - 22:22)
Reported by JohnnyRancid

Currently, searching for Meteor 2 gets jbgames.com as the first source. M2 screenshots also start showing up after the third image result for Meteor 2. This is rather remarkable as meteor is a common word, and often gets placed last behind buckets of wikipedia pages and astronomy websites. In your face NASA!

Though Meteor has no mark on google video, and will most likely be placed behind because of some sort of Chinese television show called "Meteor Garden". So you know what that means; Start recording Meteor Vids!

#meteor2 IRC made easy! (10 March 2007 - 02:02)
Reported by Papercut

Aleksanteri has released a little program that makes it easy to reach the meteor2 channel via IRC. Its completely free, though it is limited to only connecting to the #meteor2 channel. It is also limited in much other customizations, though other than that it is a great program. Just open it up, tell it your name, and your connected. So fast it can run on a Windows95 at light speed. It's also less than 1MB. Totally worth to download, as it makes chatting with other Meteor players so easy Ms. Goose could do it.

Get it now at this link:
