A not so merry Christmas
We apologise for any inconveinience, but we are experiencing hardware/software difficulties with the PC. Therefore the is a possibility that we may have to reinstall all the software or hardware, due to problems, in XP. However, the good news is that I have made a backup of the Sub Hunter project on to my webspace (Due to the no CD ROM drive being configured, but there is a possibility that I wont have access to it, and also access to the PC for a while, due to those hardware.software problems. I don't know when I'll be back online again, but for sure, I'll be doing C64 activities during offline time . Maybe a new game or something :) So please do expect delays with Email, MSN, ICQ etc as I might not be available at this time.

Christmas is looming closer, but Sub Hunter will unfortunately wont be ready in time for Christmas 2006, as I have a long way to go. But hey, there is no rush. Quality is better than quantity :). The Sub Hunter diaries have once again been updated with what I have been up to with this project today.

A New Game soon to come
There is yet another new game to come in the near future on to the TND web site. Secondly the game is not by TND, but a good friend. I wont tell you what it is, but it should keep you happy for while you are waiting for Sub Hunter to be finished and ready. Yes, I'm involved with some of the coding and gfx for this game :o) Warning, it is indeed SEUCK.
Will there be another TND christmas game?
Unfortunately this year there will not be a Christmas game from TND. We are going to be really busy with Sub Hunter project, but a surprise might be in store for you to enjoy. I wont tell you what it is, but you never know, you might love it :o))
The Future of TND for 2007
Well although it is still November we still have a future for the good old Commodore 64. Because we (censored) love it. There may be a possibility of a Sixth DMC V5 album, and also we have plans to concentrate more (after Sub Hunter) with Crash Course, a co-op game production with The Art Ravers & Merman. This is going to be a car game based on a C64 classic called Hunter, should be interesting. Secondly in the pipeline could be a horizontal scrolling Shoot 'em up game called "The Flight of the Phoenix", a mean blaster, based on another fun Horizonal scrolling SEU. I'm hoping Frank would be happy to be involved with this project as well. It would be worth asking him.
So 2007? It is just over two months away, but I sure will be productive on the C64, creating new material.

A couple more new releases for you
We have a couple more new releases for you. First of all there is the upgraded version of the SEUCK Buster utility, which now uses a packer instead of the kernal ROM saver.
Download utilities
Secondly comes the brilliant Zoo Mania by Hannenz. This is not the 100% version of the game as there still appears to be an unknown bug in the game that causes the game to be impossible to play at times. Still it is a great puzzle game and addictive, and with thanks to Hannenz for his very kind permission. We included this game on the TND web site.

Preview
of a brand new C64 game
release - Stranded by Kev Thacker
Today
I am very pleased to bring you a playable preview of a brand new game
(Which is also finished) called Stranded
This is a nice colourful
puzzle game, based on the Spectrum and Amstrad version, where you have
to crush down the whole bridge and make your way to this exit. I have tried the full game out and think it is great, nicely playable and fun. :o)) Nice one Kev.
Friends & Contributors section
Do you have a game or a preview of a new game that you have created and you wish to submit? If so, then please email it to Richard B at the usual Email address and you never know, you'll game will quickly go online. :o) We are here to not only produce our own releases, but also help *you* release your games.

Richard
quits the scene.
Some
of you may find this a shocking revelation, others of you would
probablyt not be surprised. I have officially left Crypt and also the
C64 scene. The main reason for leaving Crypt was because I was asked to
do too much work, like some other scener. Because I was unable to cope,
and I begun to lose interest being involved with the scene completely,
etc. I thought that yesterday was a perfect time to leave.Don't be too shocked though folks. It does not mean that I will leave the C64 for good. I am still going to work on my C64 projects for this web site, which of course you should be able to download. Of course Sub Hunter will continue, and there WILL be a finished product of the game, but I can't promise when the official release date will be, as I still have a long way to go.

New
C64 tool - SEUCK Buster,
released
Today I release a tool that I wrote
for the demo group Crypt. It is a program that will allow you to add
music to your game's title screen and change the colour of the
rolling bars (providing that your shoot 'em up construction kit uses
rolling colour bars that is). So if you ever dreamed of having music
added/installed on to your SEUCK
games title screens, this is the tool
for you.

Just as you thought "What no new games Richard?", a miracle happens. Well, not exactly a miracle, but we are proud to bring you this new game. Today we present you "Deep Sea Salvage II", which is even better than the original "Deep Sea Salvage" game. You should hopefully enjoy this 8K game, which I first released to the 2006 Minigame Compo
Have fun.

Fatal
Crash
A disaster (or a load of random fatal PC crashes) had struck which caused me to lose my old forum database (And worse thing was that the forum got corrupt as well, where nobody could log in). So a fresh new forum has been created, but this time it has moved to a different location. You'll find it on the menu.
Not only did I lose this, but I had also lost all my C64 creations and utilities, which sadly are no longer on the hard drive. The good news is that the Sub Hunter project has been rescued from the crash, as I luckily stored this on to a partition disk drive. So over a year's work is not lost.

Technical problems causing to be offline.
Although the TND web site still was online, I have been having a lot of trouble with Internet access over the past few days, because of a failure over the set-top-box that gives Internet access over a connection. When the set-top-box got replaced by another set-top-box, we were still experiencing problems so it wasn't until Thursday evening I had a connection back, this time through a router and wireless network as well as the set top box. So if you did not get any response from emails or private messaging of some sort then I would like to apologise for delay in response.
Sub Hunter diary update and small playable preview
During having know Internet access I have been doing more work on the Sub Hunter project. Not only this, as something special for you all. I have uploaded a playable preview of the Sub Hunter project on to the online games page. Hope you will enjoy it.

TND Forum updated and maintained
The TND C64 forum has been updated and maintained for certain purposes. We have been having trouble with the spam bots registering as new fake users so a lot of administration work had to be done. Now that the whole database is backed up, and a registration update (Visual confirmation) is installed. The forum is now up and running, whole backup of database and topics are online. Any more problems with registery bots will require more research.

Balloonacy to appear on PC
You'll probably wont believe this, but my game Balloonacy will be appearing on the PC. Not programmed by me this time, but by Marq Watkin, TND's graphics guru, who drew the Cinder Shadow :o) So far the work I have seen on this project is still at its early stages but it is starting to look really nice and shape up well. I will be looking forward to seeing the finished masterpiece.
I wonder if Marq will have a go at Grid Zone/GZ Remix on PC as well? Would be cool ;o))
Marq also has his own web site, so if you would like to visit the page click here

Richard's
going off line now and then
I feel that I need a short break from computers in general. So this is what I'm hoping to do from tomorrow evening through to Friday. I
probably might go on the computer for a bit, but not as long as I usually am on the computer. If I keep doing this, I might feel better, but I
definitely -wont- leave the scene.
From this week. Every Wednesday - Friday, I will not be using the computer in a long-term basis. Probably only to keep up to date with my email. There may be a case that I may not be on the computer at all on those three days each week, unless it is a working holiday.
I'll be back Saturday + Sunday with some more TND news, and probably the DMC V5.0 Album #5

The TND Crap Compo is closed!
I have decided to close the 2006 crap compo, as there have not been enough submissions for the past 3 months for this competition to survive. It is a waste of web space anyway. The compo page has all been taken off the menu. Sorry!
More Sub Hunter news
While I was working on this game project, the main code in DASM for the first level is finished, but sadly I can't proceed to level 2's code, until I have modified the first level's code to separate sub routine files in DASM (something I probably should have done earlier before proceeding to the main game project). Therefore this may cause more delays to more coding to the project. It should be worth the wait though.

I have written a new game called Primal Weapon. It is a nifty little Blitz remake, which I programmed most of yesterday - and thoroughly tested it as well. When playing the game, press the spacebar to drop bombs on to building and land safely to the bottom right corner of the screen. Although I have created this game, I like it also. This game is an enhanced BASIC creation, featuring music & sound effects, which I done using the DMC V4.0 PRO. ;o). Yeah, I know.

General News:
The TND Forum has been changed to something more sexier, with thanks to G-Fellow's help. The TND forum has been fully installed, and is much better than the previous forum (Which I have now closed down). However to be able to post on this forum, you must register.
Secondly, I sacrificed the shoutbox link, as it is pointless having a shout box as well as a forum - don't you think? :)
The game Grid Zone Remix is now available from Cronosoft on tape. This tape uses the Freeload loader system, by Paul Hughes, as used by Ocean Software ltd in 1988. The game is available at a low budget cost of £2.99, and £1.00 will be donated to the RSPCA (As I love animals, dogs and all that - well I do have a lovely friendly dog at home ;o)).
This way to Cronosoft
I noticed that while I was doing so disk mastering of all the Friends/Contributors releases for converting to my real C64, there was a problem somewhere. If you downloaded Cyborg Attack the .D64 file would not load properly, as in the directory, the main program was a split file (* beside the .PRG image). I have now fixed this problem for you, and you should hopefully be able to download the game.
Sub Hunter project will start earlier than 1st February.
Crash Course, a co-op production with Wayne/Art Ravers will appear on to the projects page some time soon, although I will be concentrating mainly on the Sub Hunter project.
I will be working on a Civitas megademo (Wont be trackmos or anything like that), some time in the near future. This is not going to be an easy job, but I am sure looking forward to showing off more of my demo coding. There is bound to be another ditherer thingy, and even a little game part (For the end part of the demo) possibly with high score table as well. We just have to wait and see.
Expect the *fith* DMC album later on this month or maybe next month. Fingers crossed.
Finally, I would like to point out that Danny Biesmans is working on a new game project called Candyman. You can see a preview of his progress on his web site http://users.i4surf.net/dannybiesmans/Projects.htm. So far, this project is looking good, and once again, I'm going to be working on music for this release.
Well, I've got to set off to work in a busy warehouse now. So see you soon with another news update - whenever it happens.

Unofficial C64 Crap Compo 2006 news
Although there is going to be the Official C64 CGC 2006 elsewhere, I would like to point out that my unofficial CGC 2006 compo has now been changed to the Unofficial Crap Compo. So now, people will not need to make only games. They can write crap demos and stuff like that if they want. Please take a look at our rules & stuff.
The Unofficial Crap Compo 2006
Other news:
Richard leaves People of Liberty, Papposoft & Protovision
I have decided to leave People of Liberty, Papposoft & Protovision, to concentrate with TND stuff and also to concentrate on stuff for Civitas & Covenant. It is nothing too surprising really.
Sub Hunter to continue February 2006
I want to take a break from coding games for a while, so the Sub Hunter project has been put on ice until the middle of February 2006, to make way for other activities. I know you have been looking forward to Sub Hunter to be finished this year, but I need a break from it all for a short while.
Real Speed We Need News:
The game is scrapped, but all source, etc has been given to Frank Gasking at GTW. If anyone is interested in taking up this game project (Saving it from the depths of doom) then please feel free to email me or Frank and we will supply the data & source code for this game.
Some eleases to be added to TND website soon:
The following games to be added:
Gold Quest, by Sledgie/Cevi-Aktuell (Crazy SEUCK adventure game)
Mission LED by Piti/ex-Papposoft (Unconfirmed yet) (Puzzle/skill game, originally wrote for 2003 Minigame compo, but never made it)
If you wrote something, and you want to submit it for TND then please feel free to do so.
