NEW SITES POP UP FOR HARDWAR
They are everywhere. You go to one, and they have links for more. A small time game evokes a big following, that no matter where you look, many more are still hidden. They are websites. And you probably have not visited them all.
Even the new Titan Democracy has two new sites. Complete with flag. So why the interest in a game nobody seems to have heard of?
"The game sports a very sophisticated AI program. No other game comes close."
"The opened ended plot keeps the game interesting every time you play it. One day you are a scavenger, the next day you are a pirate. And you didn't even start a new game".
"What other company takes such an interest in their players. These guys keep up with what the players want".
Whatever reason the game is a cult favorite to these players, you can rest assure that you will find it at any number of sites. The most central site is zedo.50megs.com, which sports information of every kind, including how best to handle your occupation, or beat AI pilots in a dogfight. But even he admits, the information in this game is hard for even his site to keep up.
Now sites everywhere are helping him keep up. There are fan fiction sites, cheat sites, download sites, and screenshot sites. There are even two newspaper sites, including this one.
So whatever information you are looking for, HARDW[a]R has a site for you.
MOTH DESIGNERS EVERYWHERE
Check them out. Everywhere you look, moth designs pop up. You can see the Ghost Moth or the Vampire moth at hwfreaks.homestead.com, or you can see the Dragonfly at titanpublish.topcities.com. And several more are out there.
One request of players is to be able to submit your own model moth for the game. Imagine designing your own moth, and inserting it into Hardwar. In anticipation of this hopeful event, several new designs come out regularly. On one site alone, there is six new moth's. How many more are ready to be put on paper, or uploaded to the websites?
In anticipation, several designers are looking at actual moths and other insects for their inspiration. The Dragonfly, with it's duel wings, and long tail, is an inspiration of the actual dragonflies.
Shrekken's site has a page with the original moths, and the moth that inspired them. Looking at the pictures, you see the resemblance to their counterpart. It is amazing how close SR made these look.
One request to a particular designer was the gnat. A small craft that holds incredible power. The designer refuses to explain in more detail and has requested that his name be withheld until the design is finished.
Titan Publishing Company is taking submissions of designs and posting them on his site. Anybody wishing to have their designs posted, or would like to see drawings become 3d images may contact a.b.pelkey@att.net. He asks that all drawings be zipped bmp images, to allow him to make the proper adjustments for 3d transfer.
