Hi everyone!
As some of you may have noticed the bit2logic.com website has been down for a few months. The reason for this is that we have had some serious trouble with spamming targeting our forums. Therefore the games has been moved to a new location.
The other reason why we have decided to move our games is that the bit2logic.com webpage cost a bit too much. We pay around 60$ each year for it without making any profit from either our games or banners.
The games can now be found at:
www.marcushome.se

Perfect Battle Online Special Edtion is out!
Finally! There is a new version of Perfect Battle Online (PBO) at our homepage.
Perfect Battle Online Special Edtion.
This Special Edition adds a new campaign called Felicias Quest with briefing sound. Voice by Sara Nyström and Marcus Lindmark.
It also adds new maps, new text files and new background textures.
New hints has also been added for all the map files.
Finally the source code is now open source!
This is also probably the last version of PBO that will be released by us. It has been five long years since we started to work on Perfect Battle, that later evolved into Perfect Battle Online. Since then many things has changed. When we began this project we used to meet up every week in Staffans and his wifes apartment. Usually we ate dinner, played soccer, and then worked on this game. Staffan did the programming and Marcus worked on either the graphics, music or writing down stuff about the game. Then in 2007 Marcus and his girlfriend decided to move from Stockholm to Gothenburg. Staffan felt that he was finished with PBO and moved on to other projects. Marcus was however not quite finished.
Marcus created a handful of new maps and even wrote a new sequel to the Massive Invasion campaign, starring Felicia Frost, Mikes younger sister. Then Marcus used a old hidden feature in PBO to add speech to the campaign. Marcus and his girlfriend Sara recorded the voices together, and the result was Felicias Quest. But the big challenge was not adding new maps but making the game open source.
We have a vision that PBO will live on, even if we the creators no longer keeps updating it. And the only way to make that happen was to release the source code to the public. So Marcus started to browse web pages about open source licenses and we decided to use the GNU license for PBO. Of course there also was some work writing a txt-file to explain how to edit the source. But that worked out well to. And now finally you has the chance to experince all this. Both the new game AND the source code are available at our homepage for download. We have tested to compile the source and it should work fine (at least the source for the game), IF you follow the instructions in the readme.txt file included.
Anyway. Thanks for this time. We will keep providing PBO at our homepage for at least a year longer from now. But if you want to keep our site running please make a small donation. It cost us around 50$ each year to have our homepage on the Internet so it would be great with some support.
Bye for now!

Perfect Battle downloaded more than 95 000 times!
Hi again!
A great thing with our web space provider (one.com), is that they offers us a tracking tool to see how many times our games has been downloaded over the years. After counting the statistics for each month I came to the following conclusion.
Perfect Battle Online
has been downloaded more than 11 000 times since 2007.
Perfect Battle
has been downloaded more than 95 000 times since 2005.
Supreme
has been downloaded more than 12 000 times since 2003.
Pretty amazing isn't it? It is pretty clear that Perfect Battle still is the most requested game from our site. I would never have dreamt that it could generate hundreds of downloads every week three years after it's release! (Too bad we don't get paid for each download, then we would be rich by now).
It is also about time that Perfect Battle Online (PBO) finally reached the 10 000 downloads limit. We still think that PBO is our best game, so it is fun more people have been able to try it.
I will write some more after we have released PBO Special Edition. It has been a little delayed but hopefully it will available at our homepage (www.bit2logic.com) before christmas. See ya soon!

New Review at the Freeware Addict!
Hi Guys!
The summer is finally here now in Sweden and the sun is shining brightly while I´m writing this. I will cut right to the case.
There are a new review of Perfect Battle Online on the net. It is written by Jose Stevens who tells us that "...the gameplay shines - brightly" but he also thinks that "...the controls are really disastrous". But Josh have only tried playing with the keyboard. In my opinion it is much more easy to play with the [keyboard + mouse] combination or as I prefear most - with the [Gamepad].
I also feel just a little bit offended that Josh thinks that the story is "...as unreal as Pamela Anderson’s boobs". I mean it is an science fiction game isn´t it? It's supposed to be unreal.
Read the whole review here:
Perfect Battle - Train your Keyboard Skills!
Keep on downloading our games! See ya!

So be good now and write only nice things to each other! =)

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

Laser Attack!
We are brave and back with our latest report. This time we went for a field trip to the nearest laser game in Stockholm to do some serious shooting! A laser game is a sport similar to paintball, were you run around in an arena with your laser gun. The environment is a big indoor maze and the game is accompanied by music and theatrical fog. Staffan took the highest score, I only got an average score. Still it was an inspiring experience.
When we came back to Staffans place we started work right away with the bug that made the game crash in Perfect Battle Online 0.7 BETA. The problem was that the game works fine on both Staffans and mine computer. But for some reason it crashed at several occasions on our BETA testers computers. What we were able to find out was that the bug had something to do with the graphic effect "shadows". We could easily solve it by turning this effect off. However we would prefear to keep it. Therefore it would be better to solve the bug in some other way. And that is what we are working on right now!
See ya soon!

Perfect Battle Online goes Shareware!
Finally it´s decided. We will release Perfect Battle Online (PBO) as shareware. Shareware is a marketing method for commercial software (like our game), whereby a trial version is distributed in advance and without payment - but is accompanied by a request for payment required to obtain the full version. This means that unlike our previous games we will ask payment for Perfect Battle Online.
And why is that? Well for one thing we seen a huge interest to download or old game Perfect Battle. In less than two years it has spread all over the world with hundreds of downloads every month (check out our news section for details). Since we think PBO is a much better game than Perfect Battle ever was it´s only fair that we get something in return for our hard work.
I know that some of you guys were hoping for yet another freeware game. Well I am sorry for your sake. However PBO won´t be that expensive. We were thinking to charge around 15-20 $ for the full version. Then keep in mind that it will be a demo version too - for free!
We could use some help from You however. What would make you want to buy our game? Is it for example more online resources like special weapons only for people who have paid the game fee. Or is it a bigger and more difficult campaign with more story. Is it extra music or maybe a ranking system were not all the ranks is availiable unless you have the full version of the game?
Please comment this post and tell us your opinion! And if you haven´t already sign our forum and begin to discuss there as well.
See ya soon!

BETA version almost here!
Hi everyone!
It is finally decided! It will be a public BETA version of Perfect Battle Online (PBO)! We have even set a date for it: 2006-08-23! This is not a joke, but a real chance to try out Perfect Battle Online before everyone else gets to see it. This BETA version will include most game features except for the new campaign and some other minor features.
The BETA version will only be avaliable for a limited time period and from a special download location on the Internet. Therefore you need to mail us if you are interested to become a BETA tester. What we ask from you in return is your active participation in our forums (www.bit2logic.com/forum). We want you to tell us all about the bugs (errors in the game) that you might find while playing. We also want your suggestions and ideas how we can improve our game further.
Interested? Then mail to: staffan@bit2logic.com or marcus@bit2logic.com. Please be aware that BETA software is by definition, still in test mode, and as such presents a certain level of risk.
Hope to hear from you soon!
