Computer Game Showcase

I have been spending a lot of time working on a game called Earthdust with a couple of other people for my comptuer game class. It is an RTS that takes place in an asteroid belt. The asteroids don't pose any threat to your space ships; instead, you can build on them, then see your buildings float off to other parts of the map. Earthdust will be playable by two people over a network. I'm hoping that all of my Michigan friends will be able to come. :-) For you folks in Seattle and other places, just use those handy teleportation devices; it'll be a lot of fun. ;-)

I enjoyed playing Earthdust - need a bit more time to adjust to the different controls, but would like to play more.
