                    HeavyWeight Thunder Almost Out!

                              HeavyWeight Thunder, the new title developed by none other than

                              RoundHouse Entertainment, is ready to hit store shelves.  The

                              release should happen some time this March, so check your local

                              stores!

                    Site Redesign Nearly Complete

                              It is mind blowing that it has been over a year since the last update!

                              In any event, we've done a huge overhaul to the web site, and it now

                              contains more information on more topics, so surf around and

                              check it out!

                    New title in Development

                              Good news (well, for us anyway); we've been hired to develop a new

                              game title.  The title is still many months from completion, and things

                              are still hush hush, but so far, all systems are go.

                             Saturday 2 August 2003

                    Website is back up

                             The web site was down temporarily last month due to an overflow of

                             downloads.  But, we're back up and running, and everything seems

                             to be running smoothly for the time being.

                    Update Delay

                              Yeah, updates have been sparse, but the head-way we've been making

                              is worth it.  We'll probably hold off any major updates for a little while,

                              then dump all the new stuff at once.

                    Press Section Coming Soon

                              We'll be adding a few new sections to the web site, including a Press

                              section for Attack of the Silver Ball, so stay tuned!

                              Monday 6 January 2003

                    Happy Holidays!

                              It's been a while since the last update, which means things have been

                              going pretty well.  We've been taking something of a vacation around here

                              (i.e. we're working 10 hour days instead of our usual 16), but the purchasing

                              section and trouble shooting e-mail (aotsb@roundhousesoft.com) are

                              still working at 100%.  We'll be updating the AOTSB page with a press

                              section in the coming days, so stay tuned for that.  Also, I haven't mentioned

                              it, but if you know of a web host who has the demo of AOTSB and is

                              hosting an older version (not 1.3), it would be a very nice gesture to pressure

                              them into updating to 1.3.  Don't do anything serious, just small things, like

                              threaten them, rough them up, you know.

                    Final Demo Update

                              Very quick update.  It seems version 1.2 of the demo was missing a

                              few fixes that we meant to put in, particularly the ATI flicker fix, but couldn't

                              because they wouldn't fit in a small patch.

                              So, we've put together one final version of the demo, 1.3.  This demo

                              should have all the fixes that are present in the final version of the game,

                              so if you downloaded an old demo and noticed some of the glitches

                              mentioned in the demos, don't worry, the full version does not have

                              them.  You can download the newest demo from our server right now,

                              and we'll do our best to update the older demos that are on the net.

                              Again, you can check the version number by looking at the first page

                              in the manual.doc file.

                    Wednesday 27 November 2002

                    Our demo has been updated.

                              Phew!  The server gave us one tough fight on that one, but we finally

                              updated the demo!  The main thing that was wrong was a bug where

                              the camera would sometimes stay facing the mansion when the 3-ball

                              multi-ball began.  Again, check the version by looking at the first page

                              of the manual.doc.  If it says for version 1.2, then you're alright.  If not,

                              then go downloading either the demo from our server or the patch.

                              The other sites that host the demo in the links section should also be

                              updated, or be updating soon.

                    Monday 25 November 2002

                    Arghh! Bug found in AOTSB demo!

                             It seems that the AOTSB demo we released a few days ago had a bug,

                             where the camera would get "stuck" in the Mafia Madness table.  The

                             full version addresses this problem, and the demo on our server is

                             being updated right now (It should be up in a few hours).

                                       However, if you downloaded your demo yesterday or even earlier

                             today, or from another site, there's a good chance you have the old

                             version.  A quick way to check your version is by opening manual.doc;

                             at the top it should say "for version 1.2" right below the words

                             "reference manual."  If it doesn't, then you have the 1.0 copy.  To

                             update, you can either re-download the demo from our server, or just

                             download the demo patch from the downloads section (it should be

                             up any moment).  We'll post a headline when the demo is updated on

                             our server.

                    Wednesday 18 November 2002

                    AOTSB on sale now, and a new demo is out as well!

                              Yes, it's true!  We've finally got the purchasing system up and running,

                              and everything appears to be ready for action.  Head on over to the

                              shop to get your copy of Attack of the Silver Ball now!  It's quick and

                              easy, and best of all, it's done entirely on line.  So, if you have a fast

                              connection, you could literally be playing in minutes!  What are you

                              waiting for?  Let the attack begin!

                    Wednesday 30 October 2002

                    Yet another server change.

                              It seems like it was only a matter of time, but the new server has also

                              started having problems.  We'll be moving again, but luckily, this time,

                              we'll actually get to keep our URL!  Hey, you have to look for the good

                              things in a bad situation.

                    Friday 11 October 2002

                    AOTSB is complete!

                              The updates have been finished, we've taken it through a brutal series

                              of beta testing, thrown it against all manner of system configurations,

                              and even had it box a few has-been fighters, and it didn't even break

                              a sweat.  This of course means that Attack of the Silver Ball is finally

                              complete, bringing to a close over 18 months of grueling labor.

                              Over the next few weeks, we'll be setting up the purchasing

                              process so that you too can partake in the glory that is Attack of the

                              Silver Ball!

                    Tuesday 3 September 2002

                    We've moved to a newer, snazzier site.  Surf

                    around and check it out!

                              The old server was giving us no end of headaches, and things seemed

                              to be going from bad to worse.  So, we've made a switch.  Our new

                              URL, as you must already know since you're already here, is

                              www.roundhousesoft.com.

                              In the future, we plan on doing a complete site overhaul, bringing

                              a whole new energy into its look.  So, with this, and Attack of the

                              Silver Ball nearing completion, we'll certainly have our hands full for

                              the next few weeks!
