A new version of hUb has just been released, this is a very minor update but it features some long awaited improvements to the text input and scrolling. You can now use the common short-cuts when writing text (ctrl-combos, home, end etc). The scrollbar is now much more forgiving when it comes to hitting the actual bar and you can also do "page up" and "page down" by clicking above or below the scroll button.

As usual this is automatically updated when you start hUb.

Due to some technical problems (server hardware crash) hUb currently only works in offline mode. You can of course still play the games you have previously installed.

We're working hard to get our server up and running again and we hope to have it online in at 18:00 (GMT +1).

Thanks for your patience.

Update:
As it seems the crash was more serious than we first estimated. We're working hard to get everything back online and we hope to have a solution up and running during the day.

Update:
We now have a server up and running again and we're working hard to restore the game distribution system on it. Hopefully this will be up and running soon.

Update:
The hUb server is now back online. Unfortunately we had to make some major changes forcing a complete reinstall of hUb. This means that you will have to reinstall your games. On the up side we now have a better server giving you speedier game downloads.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

A new version of hUb has just been released adding a chat. Now you can post your comments on games, chat with other gamers and developers directly in hUb!

This functionality is in beta state and we appreciate any feedback or comments.

As usual hUb will update itself to the most current version and no extra work is needed from your part.

New to hUb? You can read more and download on our play games now page

Enjoy!

Hello all!

SoPCON 1, our first ever indie-dev-meet was back in July, but we've finally managed to get our lazy asses in gear and post a little movie from the event.

If you're curious to know how the whole SoP thing got started, and / or if you're an indie developer who is interested in getting your games on hUb, check out the movie!

UfoPilot II : The Phadt Menace has been updated with the following changes:

• Rendering via DirectX 9 instead of DirectDraw. The goal of this is increased compatibility with Vista (both x86 and x64 versions).
• Sound quality is now 16bit/44kHz (previously 22kHz). All sound effects have been improved to take advantage of this increased frequency range.

Please don't hesitate to give feedback and / or report problems in the UfoPilot II : The Phadt Menace Forums!
