Due to a massive amount of spam lately created by fake users all new accounts must be approved by an administrator before they can be used. We hope that this will stop the onslaught and that we then can remove this restriction.

As a side note if you are caught spamming the boards your account will immediately be blocked and suspended.

We do apologize for the inconvenience for our regular and legitimate users.

An update to our shoot em up game T.W.T.P.B. has just been released and best of all, price has been cut to $9.95. Now you can enjoy a more beautiful T.W.T.P.B. at a lower price than ever! Changes include:

• Improved player ship graphics
• Improved player bullet graphics
• Improved enemy bullet graphics
• Menu Polish
• Graphics detail settings; you can now turn the settings down and enjoy a super smooth game on low end platforms.
• Highscore Reset; now the top spot is wide open!

As usual this update is automatically applied at your discretion when starting hUb.

We're updating the design of the site a bit right now. If you find anything wonky or strange please let us know.

It would also be cool to know what you think of this change?

The plan is to simplify the design a bit and then rework the community from scratch.

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.
