Babel Fish added to Bit2logic!
Hi again everyone!
We have now integrated the AltaVista's web translation service Babel Fish to some of our pages at bit2logic.com. This new feature adds support for eight new languages including spanish, french, german and japanese.
The Babel fish is also, as some of you guys may already know, a fictional species in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams. If you have not read it yet, you should!
There are also a new (short) review to read about Perfect Battle Online in french for those who speaks it:
Review by Télécharger
I have managed to translate some of it with Babel Fish:
We have also recived a new e-mail from Kud Gray who tells us that we should put our project under GNU license, in order to improve the game. We are always looking for ways to further improve our games, but we are not sure what the advantages are with the GNU license instead of releasing our game as Freeware? Please discuss this topic at our forum and tell us what you think about this new idea.
See ya! /Marcus Lindmark

Perfect Battle Online should guarantee a few good moments... ...The play has the merit to propose a rather unusual mixture between the vertical shot em up and the RTS even if it´s realization is far from being imposing.

PB1 more popular than PBO!!!
Hi again everyone!
It has been some time now since the last time I wrote. That is because I have been busy moving to a new apartment. I and my girlfriend now lives in Gothenburg, south of Sweden, while Staffan still lives in Stockholm (the capital). Anyway if you want to know more about me and my private life, then go visit my own homepage:
Marcus Homepage
If you rather want the latest news about Perfect Battle Online (PBO), then keep reading. As you already know if you have been following this blog, PBO 1.0b was released 2007-06-20 for the public. So far it is not near as popular as our first game Perfect Battle. In august there were around 300 downloads of PBO and incredible 3600 downloads of Perfect Battle (PB1). Consider then that Perfect Battle has been out since 2005 and is not (in our opinion) half as great as PBO. This is of course a small disapointment for us. We really expected PBO to surpass PB1 in no time at all. But as it look today PB1 stands firmly on the ground, while PBO has to fight to get any attention at all.
But were does all these downloads of PB1 comes from anyway? Well apperently a load of new downloads comes from a site in the middle east called "stuff". This site was in august responsible for around 2300 downloads! You can check it out for yourself if you want:
Stuff
Well hope you are all well out there and keeps downloading our games! Bye for now.

Graphics in PBO are Crap!?
Hi again everyone!
Here are as usual the latest news about Perfect Battle Online (PBO) - the great action/strategy game from Bit2logic. So what is new then?!
Well first of all we have got some positive and negative feedback. I start out with the negative.
Many people at the swedish computer games forum Loading has told us that the graphics in PBO looks like crap and asked us what kind of graphic designer we have anyway? Well, I admit that the graphics isn´t exactly state of the art. This is because neither I or Staffan are very good at making 3D models, and there are just the two of us working with the graphics (expect for the title image in the main menu that was made by my friend Christian Håkansson, please check out our credits section for details).
I personally think that the graphics in PBO is way better than the graphics in Perfect Battle (PB1). We have added light effects to the gold, shadows, new wall textures, new energybar and plenty of other small things to give the game a greater graphic apperance. Still, as "Fudgepuppy lvl2" told us at the Loading forum, "When was strategy about graphics anyway?"
Now to the positive feedback. When I was browsing the guestbook at my personal homepage Marcus Homepage, I found a post by John Louie, stating that he loves the music in Perfect Battle. I was really happy to read this since I am the one who made all the music in Perfect Battle (and most in PBO). Anyway John, I hope you take your time to play PBO as well, since the music in PBO are way better... in my opinion anyway.
Well that is all for now. Don´t forget to write in our forums and keep tell us what you think about our games.

Don´t be shy, Play Online!
Hi again!
Perfect Battle Online (PBO) has been out a while when I´m writing this and some new suggestions are starting to show up at our forums. Keyar19 has suggested that the main tank in PBO is too hard to control because of the high speed and Keyar19 also misses the weapon store from Perfect Battle (PB1). Read all about it and our answers at the forums.
One of the new (and hopefully not too confusing) things with PBO is the flexibility added by our new game rules (read more in readme.txt). But I figured it might help somehow if I would explain the online rules more throughly one by one. Ok, here we go then...
First the basics. To play online, select "Play Network Game" in the main menu. Choose between LAN network (many computers connected together in a house) or play online through the Internet (against people all over the world). Then choose a cool name for yourself, like Crusher King or something like that. You can also choose between a normal game (shoot anyone you want) or team game (all the tanks with your color is in your team). Finally select a map to play and create a new game.
The game starts right away and all the players except yours is played by the computer. Then if a player joins the game (through LAN or Internet) they take over a tank at random played by the computer (like Mr Smith does in the movie Matrix with people. Matrix is by the way a great movie!)
The aim of the game is to destroy all the enemy bases or
to collect the highest score before the time runs out. This means that if you have NOT defeated all your opponents before the time runs out then the one who has the highest score will win. To get a high score you need to blow up enemy tanks and buildings. All the players score can be displayed by pressing the TAB key.
The buildings in the online game also acts a bit differently than you might be used to. Instead of exploding for good when you shoot at them they are replaced with a new factory/base but with your color. This is how it should be because when you have blown up a building then that means that you have conquered it.
If you are playing a online TEAM game and have destroyed and conqured a factory then it will also appear a text at your new factory stating that the factory now belongs to you. This happens because the gold that the small ships collects in team game is shared by all the members of your team, except of course for the ships produced in factories that you have conqured by yourself. In other words the more factories you conquer the more wealthy you get! =)
Ok that is all for now. Please keep on downloading our games! Bye.

Ad comments removed from blog
Hi everyone!
Long time no see! I am back at this blog again with some news. First of all, Perfect Battle Online (PBO) is still under development, but is sadly delayed. We did not release it in 2006 as we claimed on our homepage. We will however release it sooner or later this year. Staffan is now working as a programmer full time and dosn´t have much time over for PBO. I on the other hand has been busy with work, skiing and with the remaking my own homepage at marcushome.se (that too coming soon).
Anyway the primary reason why I am writing here again is because I have removed all the ad comments that appeared on the blog. Around 20 in total. I have also reconfigured the blog so that only registred members can comment in the future. The blog also got a new layout. Hope you like it.
The end for now. /Marcus Lindmark
