I have been contacted about Moonquake, it has been awarded! You can all now rest (if you were worried) because like all my software, its 100% free of spyware, adware and virus.

Moonquake is now active on CNet and downloads seem to be going pretty well. I have also started on a new game, an original one this time. Watch this space!

Just a quick update, FireFly link on CNet has been updated, a lot quicker than I thought it would be, so that link is active now. I'm expecting Moonquake to be active on their website by the 12th, watch this space.

FireFly has officially become freeware, no more $5 dollar purchase, although donations would be lovely. Along with being made freeware, all nag screens and limitations have been removed. I am still waiting on CNet to update all my links but they take a few weeks, so until that time I have added a direct link to the files. If you have problems just clicking on them, try right clicking and then save as...

I have just finished updating Moonquake, 2 player (as far as I can tell) now works and doesn't seem to have any bugs, I've also done some minor graphic work, again nothing major. I decided that I would skip the version all the way up to version 2.0.0 seems like i've done enough to warrent it. Enjoy your game.

Moonquake has been released! At the moment there is only 1 player mode enabled, but I am working on fixing that very soon, ready for version 1.0.1.
History
FleecyWare is the creation of a dedicated software developer. I basically started off when I was in my pre teen years using old machines like the Acorn computers (before they were revived) loaded with the RiscOS operating system. This is where I learnt the basics; edit existing games before going on to understand how to create my own. As I got older, and the Acorn died out, Windows became the 'it' thing to use. As I was still pretty young, getting to know this new operating system was going to be a great adventure. Staying with the basics on this new operating system, I taught myself how to build web sites using, html etc. Over the next few years, during high school years, learning ICT was a start at the bigger stuff. learning BASIC and then onto Visual Basic, which is what I still use, although its a much newer version than what I started out on. I currently use Visual Studio Pro 2008. During college is when I came into my own, studying Level 3 Advanced Information Communication Technoloy, often correcting the programming teachers, I naturally passed. These days I'm in a full times job and have a family, but still do freelance programming for fun and as a hobby. Over the years that I have been coding software and games, the rough estimate of completed projects is about 200. With the start of this web site, you will hopefully get to see some of the latest projects I have been working on; and I would love to share them with you. Many people ask me, "Why Fleecyware and why the sheep?". There are a couple of reasons, the first is, we are aiming to be as child friendly as possible. The second reason is answered with a question, why did Microsoft call itself that and why did they call Windows, Windows? Why do Apple call themselves Apple and why did they call Mac, Mac? Random, just like mine?Enjoy your stay
