Age of Ornithology The Flight for Freedom Begins

Posted by Zonk on from the i-can't-wait-to-unlock-the-emperor-penguin-unit! dept.

Norg writes "Schadenfreude Interactive is still working on their momentous avian civilization simulator, but you can check out the info page of Age of Ornithology. From the site: From aXessfehler, creators of Age of Pseudopods(TM) and Age of Monotremes(TM), comes a real-time strategy game that is truly for the birds."

    This game will so rock! Age of Psuedopods was my favorite hopefully they can recapture the shear evolutionism of the first game!

      Eighteen months after release date, "still working on it," nothing available except some boxart and meaningless stuff about branching tech trees which every strategy game has had for a decade, and haven't even updated the website since spring 2003.

      I hate to say it, but 3D Realms is more on the ball with Duke Nukem Forever than these guys are. At least with DNF when they missed the release date, they changed to release date to "When it's done" and we did have that one screenshot in PC Gamer in 1999.

    Now taking bets on how long it takes for SF projects to pop up for these very same titles!

    Admit it. You're thinking of doing it right now. I can see it in your monitor glare.

    I was a bit more gullible than you, I guess. Considering some of the lame shit that has actually been made, I wasn't very bothered by a game company making Cthulu Kart Racing and Age of Monotremes. It wasn't until I went to the phobe.com main site that I realized I'd been had.

    Oh, great. Just what the video game market needs - yet another ornithological civilization clone. When some real innovation or original ideas be developed?

    How can I, when your game does not run under Linux?
