BioWare (famous for Baldur's Gate) is developing a new game called Neverwinter Nights. BeNews talks to Don Yakielashek (Senior Programmer) and Trent T. Oster (NWN Producer) of BioWare about the status of a BeOS port.

Richard Shepherd has told us Version 0.3 of GLQuake has been uploaded at BeBits. This version should now be almost feature complete, it now includes mouse support but still no networking. Shepherd sad the framerates are about 40fps on his Voodoo3 2000 and AMDK6-2. And once Maui is released he should be able to convert it to R5 in time for the new OpenGL drivers.

We at BeGames, in trying to bring you the best resources for gaming on the BeOS, have brought you our newest feature, "Chat With a Developer Hour." This is a session where you as a gamer or prospective game developer can come and chat with BeOS game developers right here at BGcommunities.

Our first chat will be Sunday March 5th from 7:00PM-8:00PM Pacific Standard Time (USA). We will be chatting with two developers, Daniel Jones and Sean Long, from the new gaming house of Hailstone Software. So remember to save that time slot for what should be an exciting and informative chat session right here at BeGames.

SIDE NOTE: BeOS users will not be able to access the chat through NetPositive. BeGames uses a Java chat engine and so you must use Opera, or switch over to another platform (I know that sucks but until NetPositive comes with better Java implimentation it's how it's got to be).

BeOSCentral has a great interview with this new game developing company. Check out the interview and also check out Hailstone Software.

This is a major bummer for those of us who like to check for new BeOS game updates. I went to check BeBits today and all I got was a "File Not Found" message. Let us all pray that BeBits comes back online soon!

I know this is old news but I thought it would still be good to post. beGamer reported that Seumas McNally of Longbow Digital Arts said a port of Treadmarks for the BeOS might happen. Only if BeOS gets hardware OpenGL support for the major cards. Check out the full article at beGamer.

Hailstone Software, a new BeOS gaming house is working on a new game called Project Infinity. Project Infinity is a futuristic racing game with amazing graphics and the ability for network play. Check the status out on their home page.

Over at BeNews they reported that Ynop Talton is porting Void Runner, a fast space run'n'jump arcade, which is based on OpenGL. There presently is no release date.
