New Oztoc Screenshots and Press Kit!

We have two all new screenshots of Oztoc for you. These show the little train station where you begin your journey by train, and “the village”. A big cavern with an abandoned (or is it?) village, surrounded by grain fields. A big unfinished pyramid looms in the distance. That pyramid is the entrance to Oztoc II.


Two more screenshots coming up in about a week, showing these areas from different angles.

We also released a Press Kit. The Press Kit contains three high resolution logos, and a presentation that is meant to introduce the game to the reader in under two minutes. This will allow us to contact magazines and websites, and quickly explain what our game is about. It is basically about making it as easy as possible for the press to talk about us.


Also on our schedule are some wallpapers, a community kit with some images that can be used for forum signatures and such, and we still have a trailer coming up. We decided to push back the trailer a little, so we can get some new footage of for example Cahua II in. The trailer should be out somewhere in February. February in general is going to be a very exciting month for us. We are awaiting the outcome of the MSU Grand Finals, the ModDB MOTY 2009 awards, and soon after those two we will begin pitching the game to distributors

Best FPS Mod in Phase 4 of MSU

For the fifth time in the competition, The Ball has secured a first place. In this last public round of the contest we have won Best FPS Mod, and also a fourth place Best Art In Mod. We now hold nine top-5 positions, and five first places. On to the grand finals!


We also have half a page large screenshot in the last edition of Game Developer Magazine, as part of their award for Unreal Engine 3. And the largest Swedish gaming magazine, PC Gamer, as given us a page in their January edition, pictured below.

If you come across anything related to our game please tell us! Be it on a website or in a magazine, we would love to find out about it.

Changes were made to our website as well. We moved the news to the front page, and our newsposts are now handled through Blogger, allowing us to post news faster and easier, which in turn will lead to more frequent updates!
