Welcome to Black Jacks productions!

Black Jacks productions is back to working solely on Quest for Yap due to limited human resources.

Overview:

Quest for Yap has been on the internet since September 2000. Now registering an average of 700 unique IPs per day, Quest for Yap has grown into a medium sized online community. Quest for Yap is a browser-based game of trade, construction, and warfare. Two game styles, Original and Melee, provide two unique models for gameplay, each with their own strategy. Play as one of seven races and try to advance your clan to the top of the rankings.

Latest Development:

Quest for Yap is fairly mature, but development continues. New features are always being added to enhance game balance and provide for new, interesting strategies.

GW will be a mid-size downloadable game which will have 3 play modes, including single-player against a powerful AI, peer-to-peer where you can battle a friend, and in the distant future, a massively multiplayer mode in which you will be able to compete against and play with large numbers of other players.

News:

QfY: Ground Wars has been discontinued due to a lack of available time for this programmer. Keeping up a real income and school keeps me pressed for time and I am able to dedicate very little to my hobby involving programming projects.
