Announcing… Ukaaf.

Here’s the video, in typical Vetra Games spirit… late. :)

Ukaaf is a game set in various dimensions of the human subconscious. Just watch the video, and expect it on 2010.

Sorry for the low quality: YouTube’s fault. You can download the full quality version here.

Aaaah, the hype preceding a video-game announcement! I love it!

The announcement shall be posted on the DevLog. On announcement day 1st of August of the year 2010 A.D, that link shall stop redirecting to this blog post, and instead it will change and redirect into the official announcement.

GMT/UTC is a sort of “global” time. Ukaaf’s announcement is set to be:

11:00:00 p.m. Sunday August 1, 2010 in GMT

This can roughly translate to:

North America:

Central Time (Texas, Mexico City, Zacatecas): August 1st, 6:00 PM.

Eastern Time (New York, Washington, Boston, Montreal, Quebec, Ottawa): August 1st, 7:00 PM.

Mountain Time (Chihuahua, Colorado, Alberta, Arizona, Sonora): August 1st, 5:00 PM.

Pacific Time (Vancouver, Portland, Las Vegas, California, Baja California): August 1st, 4:00 PM

Europe:

United Kingdom: Please note that your official time is GMT/UTC. August 1st, 11:00 PM.

Australia:

Please note that the announcement shall take place on the 2nd of August due to Time Zones. You’ll get to see the new game as soon as you wake up! Lucky you! :P

Eastern Down Under (Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Melbourne, Tasmania): August 2nd, 9:00 AM.

Central Down Under (Adelaide, Darwin): 8:30 AM. Set the alarm clock!

Western Down Under (Perth): 7:00 AM. You really care about this if you’re waking up early!

Please note that we covered English speaking countries because well, Vetra Games is in english. If you are living somewhere which is not covered here, feel free to use the following Time Converter to convert to your desired time zone.

We hope you are here for the little “event”. Here’s to hoping you enjoy what we’re cooking!

New WordPress Blog :P

I’ve completed my “censoring” of the website, removing anything that’s not inmediately relevant to Vetra Games. I’ve also done some changes to speed up downloading for all of us with a slow internet connection.

1) Censored all gadget show-offings (sorry bout that).

2)Limited the DevLog to 4 posts per page (nice, round number).

This should make the DevLog faster and much nicer. Those who still wish to read up the whole DevLog (many thanks) may do so by simply clicking on “older entries”.
