My new Zodiac's have now arrived! I've been busy sorting them out today. I may get some new content up here, but probably will save it for when I launch the new site which I am constantly working on. Next week we (Plank Films) will be filming our new film so that will take up most of the time. It won't be long till the site is back to normal updates though. I look foward to it. Check out our others here - www.plankfilms.com (Eagle Quest being our latest) James

No new news about my Zodiac's... but the new PFM is being made as I speak ;). Here's a press release from Astraware! THE MIDLANDS, UK - June 29th 2006 - Astraware and Digital Eel are excited to announce the release of Big Box of Blox for Palm OS(R) and Windows Mobile(R) handhelds. Big Box of Blox is a block stacking game taken to outrageous extremes! Using stylus or button controls, players arrange the three-blox-high stacks as they fall. Match blox in groups of three or more, vertically or horizontally, to eliminate them - but that's not all! Don't just stack the blox. Smash them, blast them, mutate them or explode them in a shower of flames! Use special blox including jokers, bombs, frogs, mushrooms, fireballs and slot machines to clear the board before it reaches the top! Choose from five exciting game modes: Flaming Peelout, Blok Atak, Groink, Mushroom King and Asylum Cubez or even create your own combination using the special Custom Mode. Faithful to the critically-acclaimed PC version, Big Box of Blox features cool psychedelic graphics, awe-inspiring animated backgrounds, brain crunching sound effects and an epic music soundtrack. The game's graphics reflect the dark and mysterious nature of the PC original, but PDA owners are sometimes known to go outside into the light, so Big Box of Blox also includes a gamma adjustment slider so you can select anywhere from dark and atmospheric to vibrant and acidic. "We originally intended to make a nice normal blox stacking game, however, we failed to accomplish this goal marvelously. Big Box of Blox is anything but normal," explained Digital Eel co-founder, Rich Carlson. Big Box of Blox is available for devices running Palm OS(R) 5.0 upwards, and Windows Mobile(R) for Pocket PC and Smartphone 2003, 2003SE and 5.0. The game is available from the Astraware website priced $19.95 with a special limited time release discount for Club Astraware members. About Astraware Founded in 1994, Astraware Limited develops, publishes and distributes games for mobile devices. Some of the company's best known handheld titles include PopCap Games? Bejeweled®, Zuma®, and Insaniquarium®, Sandlot Games? Tradewinds, and Astraware Sudoku and Zap!2000/2016. Astraware is a Microsoft(R) Certified Gold Partner. Mobile gaming enthusiasts have downloaded more than 30 million copies of Astraware's products, and the company has customers in over 100 countries.

Plese Read -The entire Plank Films website (including PFM) has been recently placed on a new faster server (with more space/bandwidth). Being me, I mislaid the index file (i.e. pfm palm news) and so have lost news posts since 29th January! Updates that have been lost include -Psarakia Video Overview,Robot Panic Video Overview,ZHeretic footage and How To guide,Other Footage! No other content has been lost however, and I hope to get back to work now that we are on the new server! (Sorry if the site has been slow or not loading, it was becuase of the server change, but all is well now!)
Thanks

Phew. After a few A-Level exams and some PF work I can now get back to PFM! I apologise for the lack of content since the last video review. A few new palm games have been released recently and I'l get their footage up asap, as well as footage of all the eSoft Interactive games. Don't forget to check out the 'Astraware Footage Library' as there's nearly 50 clips of their games!
(Work Experience is coming up soon and it seems that I'm off to 'Astraware' for the week :) )
Thanks
James

I've just added my first video review of 2006 to the Video Review page. This review is of Paintball 2 from Crazy Soft. I have improved my techniques with the video review, so the sound quality of both the game and my voice should be vastly improved.
 There has been quite a delay since my last video review, but hopefully I can get them done quicker now!
Thanks
James

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006
A little bit of good news. I've recently aquired a 'Powerwave' which enables me to capture direct feed audio from my zodiac. You should notice an improvement in the audio quality of all the vids from now on since there will be no background noise :)
I've also incorperated the PFM forum into the main PF one so they are together, please sign up and let me know what you think of PFM and the PF things as well!
Thanks

MERRY CHRISTMAS all, from PFM PALM (i.e. Me :p). Sorry about the lack of new
content. I will be back to my jammy self in the new year as I get to work on new
and improved Video Reviews :)
Thanks for all your support this year. I'd like to hear your comments on this
past year at PFM PALM and some suggestions and ideas for improvement would be
greatly appreciated. Email me or sign up on the forums (which are quite empty
at the moment :p)
Thanks again

Good news! The new Plank Films Mobile forum is up and running, and actually works
:P. Please visit it, register and post your comments, feedback, ideas and such.
Plank Films Mobile Forum. Most of the 'Forum' links on the side bar have been changed, except for all
the footage pages, that will be done soon!
James |

Saturday, November 5th, 2005
Sorry about the late update. I've quite busy this week. The Footage page will
be unaccessable at the moment since it's undergoing work and will hopefully be
easier to use and look nicer. There will be a new section called 'Video Overviews'
soon which I am looking foward to :)
Stay Tuned
James |

Sunday, November 6th, 2005
The new footage page is online. The appearance of the main Footage pages is exactly
the same, but when you click on the name of a game to see footage of, a window
pops up which plays the video, has the information and links to official website
and to try/buy. I find that it works better and looks nicer, and is a lot easier
to change if I have new footage or need to change some of the links on the side
bar, since before I would have to do it on every single footage page :P. I'l get
new content up as soon as possible! Please post on the forums and let me know
what you think about the new footage page!

Wednesday, November 9th, 2005
There will be a large update tomorow (hopefully :P) with lots of new footage,
and 2 new pages on PFM! (Maybe not what your expecting ;) ). Today Astraware (working
with Binoteq) released their new game 'My Little Tank'. This is a great game and
I have added some gameplay of it onto the Footage page. Look under 'Arcade/Shooter'
and click the game to watch. I would advise that you all at least check out the
demo, more information here : My Little Tank homepage

New Footage: 8 Clips -
*Microquad, *MTeam, *Paintball 2, *Pocket Mini Golf,
*Table Tennis 3d, *Traffic Jam *Ultimate Bowling Fighter, *Zuma
New Pages: 'Other Videos' and 'YAYZ' -
- 'Other Videos' - This page contains videos that me and my friends have done.
They may not have any relation to Palm PDA's but they are converted to .AVI's
ready for portable viewing. Not all the videos are online yet since my HD is mucking
up a bit, but they will be there soon.
- 'YAYZ' - This is a more interesting story. www.lcdgear.com had a kick-off contest that ended at the end of September. The task was to make
a 5 minute video involving the Tapwave Zodiac. So I set to work and came up with
a video idea. The Plank Films crew helped out as actors, and the video turned
out quite well. We won the contest :). I thought I'd share it with you. Hope you
enjoy it!
Now that's what you call a BIG update :) (Don't forget to post your feedback
on the forum)

Saturday, November 12th, 2005
Well, I thought I'd follow up yesterday's big update. This time it's the first
exclusive footage for PFM :). A game called 'Wizard World' has been in development
for the zodiac for some time now and is nearing release. It looks like a very
original game idea and should be great. PFM has the first exclusive piece of footage
direct from the devs. You can view it here:

I have just started a new 'Specials' section on the Footage Page. The first special
footage feature is the 'Astraware Footage Library'. This page already has 6 pieces
of footage (from the Astraware titles already on the Footage page). In time I
hope to have footage up of every single game title available on the Astraware
site! This page will be updated regulary with new footage. Astraware Footage Library.
I may implement a guestbook also soon, and possibly a comments/ratings system
for the video reviews/footage and guides on the site!
Thanks

I'm currently still sorting out some of the videos for the 'Other videos' page,
some need slightly different encoding settings. The Footage DL page has been updated

and a special page for the 'You and Your Zodiac' video (winner of LCDGEAR.com
kick-off contest) is being made.

UPDATE: New Game footage on 'Footage' page of:
*DZEEET, *GeoPod XE, *SkyForce, *Stunt Plane, *Super Miners, *Xploids, *3D Zapman
There will be a new 'Other videos' section added this weekend on PFM which will
contain other videos that I have created either by myself or with friends. They
might not necessarily be related to Palm in any way, but there will probably be
something there you will enjoy. All the videos will be converted to high qual
AVI as well, so that devices running TCPMP of a reasonable speed (200mhz +) will
be able to watch them!
7 new game clips will be added to the footage page within 1 hour!

A week and no updates! Sorry about this. I've just started my new college and
have been sorting out school stuff mostly. Anyway, I have both Warfare Inc. and
the Dreamway video reviews written out, just have to do the filming which is the
easier part. I hope to get them done as soon as possible. I will get into a better
routine and get more video reviews done faster!
Also I thought I'd mention that the Video Review page has had a bit of a redesign.
Now they are all on one page and I have used Bookmarks. (with some help from Adam
:P)
Thanks for all your support so far

Good news. The USB audio device that I use to import from the microphone has
arrived :). Time to get to work......

I have now redone the 'Footage' page. The layout has been changed and now each
game has it's own page with a short summary of the game and the footage now will
stream into a windows media player windows on the page instead of you having to
download the file to your Hard Drive, then watching.
Now that the site has been more or less sorted, my next task is to do a bunch
of new video reviews. I will most likely have a big release of about 4 video reviews
very soon. Stay tuned
Thanks

Hi all,
I've had some time to improve PFM. All the 'How To' guides in the Guides/Help
area have now been updated for the new versions and made more palm centric rather
than just zodiac. Hope you enjoy them, and if you haven't tried ZDoomZ, ZHexen
or ZQuake go there now!!
I've redesigned my Zodiac game list from the old Zodiac section and added it
back onto PFM, its in the Guides/Help area also so check it out and let me know
of any games that should be added to the list.
Finally, I've been testing out some things with the Footage page. There will
be a seperate page for each bit of footage with some info, links and the video
will play in a window. This seems to work fine in IE but not in FF. When I get
it sorted it should be great and a big improvement.
IMPORTANT: Just to say that I seem to have misplaced the usb audio thing that
I use to import the audio for my video reviews. I have 2 new ones written (Warfare
Inc, and Dreamway) and more to come. I'l try to find it :P
Hope your all enjoying the new site.
Thanks |
