Triple threat: the date is set!

It's the home stretch for multiple projects and I've decided that Friday, July 15 when they're ready is the day to release the following...

RAGE

RAGE helps you rapidly build adventure games in Silverlight and leverages existing tools like Blend and Visual Studio. RAGE handles the grunt work, you focus on building scenes.

An entire section of this site will be dedicated to RAGE resources and tutorials.
Buddy Knavery II

The evil Barry McClanahan is collecting ancient tablets and exploiting their hidden powers. Buddy Knavery has returned to Lazarus Falls to thwart his sadistic plans.

Buddy Knavery II is the second episode of the series and is built using RAGE.
Checksum Labs 2.0

Some improvements to this site are coming, including sharing widgets and better organization of content.

The design won't change that drastically but fans of retro games might find the site a bit more compelling.

LUV your games, Darren! Have been so hungry for point and click adventures but they're so few and far between these days. (LOATHE 'escape games' mainly for the shear lack of dialogue.) YOUR dialogue is clever and has kept me highly entertained - both 'in game' and via phone messages ;) Found your games only a week ago and played Buddy Knavery using firefox w/o incident. Have been trying to finish Buddy Knavery II but: -can't play in FF (will only load in IE9) -game keeps crashing! or, probably, IE keeps crashing :( can't get past Charleston Lounge'sh ... any thoughts? Thanks!

I appreciate the feedback Delilah, thank you. As far as not getting past Charleston, is that because of the crashes or because you're stuck on the plot itself? There's a walkthrough on this site if it's the latter. If you're able to provide more info about the crashes I'd appreciate it. Does it happen consistently at a certain point in the game, or randomly? I've tested the game on as many machines as I can (and FF hasn't been an issue in any of those cases so I'm really curious what version of FF you're using), but I definitely can't account for all scenarios. If you're willing to provide more info about your machine (the OS, how old it is, etc.), please send it along to darren.mart at yahoo.com. Thanks again for the feedback, much appreciated!
