As you may have noticed, I recently released my second Android phone game – Pirates & Traders. Pirates & Traders is a pirates themed combat and trading game; you get to sail around the Caribbean in a Sloop or Barque and fight or trade as you like.

The game is currently still in its early stages; as I get the time, I intend to expand it with quests, more upgrade opportunities and a whole bunch of other ideas that I have in mind for the game. For now, though, my focus is heavily on bug stomping. Once that phase is over, I will start to do more gameplay improvements (on a slightly more relaxed schedule than the current frantic update pace).

More thoughts on development and future plans when I return to the regular update schedule in May.

“Imperium Mini: A Brief History of Rome” is now available for Android phones. Idleness is a terrible thing, and when I had a spot of idle time between Christmas and New Year, I got so irritated at not having anything worthwhile to play on my Android phone that I started to port the game over. So now you can recruit Legions and Auxilia, conquer and civilize the known world and preside over the rise and fall of the Roman Empire all at the tip of your finger.

The game is available on the Android market under the name “A Brief History of Rome” and is free (ad-supported).

Merry Christmas (or Seasons Greetings) to you all, and have a Happy New Year.

Just released an update on Imperium Mini: version 0.2.0. For the full details, check the forum announcement.

Hi all, and welcome to the new site for Imperium. Hopefully you received the mail from the old forums, but if you didn’t here are the core points:

• I’ll be doing a clean-up of the forums shortly. If you have an account on it, please make sure that you log in at least once between now and October 25. At the end of that period, most of the inactive accounts will be deleted.
• The website is a work in progress (of course), so everything doesn’t yet work quite as intended. If you notice any major issues, please post about them on the forum – I’ll see what I can do.
• From now on, all announcements/messages will go on the blog first (and be mirrored to the forum). If you’d like to get “live” updates of the announcements, you can subscribe to the RSS feed from the blog.
• Imperium Mini is here. This is a little game I threw together when I needed to do some test work of the Imperium code. I’ve decided to release it now to give you guys something to mess around with (and hopefully find some bugs in), rather than letting it go to mold on my harddisk. Hope you enjoy it.
