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! 
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”.
The new website is ready. :)

Hit your browser’s refresh button, please!
Our New Website!
Yup, the teasers are over and instead you get a much better website, that’s better looking and overall much better. The layout, in my opinion, is superior, there’s more information, more resources, and it scales better across various screens.
In typical Vetra spirit, the download links to our games are broken! There’s a reason for this, however. Mainly because the system requirement tester (a system that automatically detects wether you’re using a Mac or PC and then gives you the download appropiate for your computer) is still not working to my satisfaction.
The DevLog’s been updated to WordPress 3. Not that it matters.
Finally, the forums will open very very soon.
In other news: Project Aanra’s now in development. The teaser on the home page will become an active link on the 1st of August, so make sure you write the day down!
Hmm…

Bad news. Some joker decided to change the way the entire Game Jolt trophies API works. Which means that Alien Swarmz 1.5.3, which already had trouble, was killed in one cruel swipe. I am currently in the process of updating the game to support the new API. Please stay tuned.
In other news, Alien Swarmz for Mac will be version 1.5.4, because there is some SERIOUS streamlining going on. Which means that some of those changes will be gradually backported to the PC version for the final, glorious (This time final. I’m sick of Alien Swarmz), 1.6 unified Mac/PC version with the same codebase. (PC has the addition of Trophies).
Finally, the website launches today or tomorrow. It’s ALMOST finished, it just needs some testing.
Stay tuned.
