The end of 2008
Well it is finally the end of 2008, and 2009 is on its way. It has not really been a good year for many of us, but fingers crossed that 2009 will be a much better year for me and the C64. There are one or two nifty projects planned (One of which is already there).
We wish you all a happy new year, enjoy your celebrations and we hope to see you back in 2009 and continue to serve the C64 community with future productions and updates to our features.

Wayne/Art Ravers has kindly contributed a playable preview of a game idea, which he would like me to try and implement without the aid of SEUCK. This is a game created in Sideways SEUCK where you have to control a toy airplane and shoot down enemy toys and burst balloons. Pretty easy game to play, but of course it is just a playable preview.

A brand new game project is going to be in the making in 2009. Up in the Air. This is going to be a programmed version of Wayne Womersley's Sideways SEUCK game.

More Sub Hunter News
Sub Hunter will be released as a free download on the TND web site. This disk image will also contain some bonus files related to Sub Hunter, as well as some extra goodies. The bad news is that it looks as if some productions might not make it in time on to the disk. This will not mean that the disk will not be released. I am aiming to release the *full game* disk on to this web site with other goodies I managed to find and add on to the disk. Official release date for this game: 25th December 2008!

Sub Hunter - a success
Despite the idiocy from theThe Walker Group and their crack to bully me with (Which I had to put a stop to on CSDB as they made me very angry). Sub Hunter so far has been a very successful release. It has scored some excellent reviews and it seems that people *really* enjoyed this game. For those of you who did purchase the game from Psytronik Software. I would like to say a big thank you to you alll for your kind support. Also if anyone had a free copy of the game (spread by someone else) then a big thank you for playing the game. Don't forget, although this game is currently commercial at the moment. The game will be freely downloadable with extra goodies Christmas time.
Richard quits ICQ
You may have noticed recently that I have been offline in ICQ.Well the sad news is that I will not be using ICQ any longer as I don't have the time for chat and also I need a *lot* of privacy now and then. ICQ seems to be used for harassment these days and I am easily bullied. Therefore I have decided to quit using this tool. If anyone wishes to contact me, then either use the TND forum or email me and I will reply next time I read my email.

If you do include those in your programs, you're welcome to include those. You can also use my example instruments for your stuff as well. Can't say fairer than that eh?

Sub Hunter - cracked
Unfortunately, Sub Hunter got cracked by my biggest nightmare - The Walker Group. Who the hell are The Walker Group? Well, they are some group of existing crackers from different groups, that seem to have it in for various people. The game was given an NTSC fix and a +3 trainer. This is something that I don't really mind. However, I had to get this entry removed from the CSDB, not because of the crack, itself but the content on the intro scroll text. It seems that this group has something against active people, especially Crypt, myself and some of my friends and former friends when they falsely credit someone for original supply or send out a greetings list - which is unfortunately the *f****ings* list (Although they call it the greetings list). I also found it to be an insult where they were bragging about my code in the game.
Sub Hunter took me over 4 years to create, and I find it to be a major insult when someone has to really rub my head in the sand. I even find it an insult to have my name on the f***ings list publicly around the world and what makes things worse is the way they joke with my surname (Which I don't find funny. Are they trying to say that I'm gay?) Which I'm not! Therefore enough was enough. I had to contact the CSDB admin to remove that download. Plus I'm the creator and owner of the game, and if I don't like what I see. I can take this kind of action - and I will.
On the plus side. I have been getting a lot of support from great people on the CSDB, who want to get the original version of the game. Which I find is fantastic news. Sorry the download had to be removed, but I felt intimidated by The Walker Group's intro, and enough was enough!
Sub Hunter goodies planned
Although, despite the evil crack of the game, we will continue with the Sub Hunter goodies. Unfortunately it looks as if it will not be on 2 disk sides, but 1 disk side. As with thanks to Exomizer, there is plenty of disk space for other files which are not all that big when squeezed down with that cruncher. I still have other things to prepare for this game. If there is more to be crammed into the disk, then there might be another disk side for the goodies. The specific date for the goodies will be Decemeber 2008. I'll do my best to get it finished in time before Christmas 2008.

Sub Hunter now available from Psytronik Software
Sub Hunter has now been released and can be purchased at PSYTRONIK SOFTWARE
The game will only be available from Psytronik for the first month or two but afterwards the full game will be put up for free download and will include a bonus disk of used and unused materials from the game as well as a few extras. The bonus disk/d64 will be uploaded on to The New Dimension web site (In the SUB HUNTER downloads page). This bonus disk will feature some additional goodies including a Sub Hunter music demo, an unused loading picture by Mark Watkin, SFX Demo and some other bits and bobs. All to be released around about November or December time.

Sub Hunter is Finished
Excellent news for you all. Sub Hunter is finally 100% finished. The bad news is that it will not be downloadable for a long time because this game has been written for/by PSYTRONIK SOFTWARE. However, because Psytronik Software is releasing this game on tape. You'll have to wait a month or two. I want to see how many tapes actually get released first :o) Heheheh. Don't worry. Those of you who don't own a tape deck will not miss out in the action. I'll be working on a very special disk mastered version in time for Christmas 2008. So you will not be disappointed.

Sub Hunter news - Completion status: 99.9% - Just testing to go!
Some very good news for people who have pre-ordered Sub Hunter. The game is (as far as I know, now finished. The intro is complete (More about this in the Sub Hunter diary). Probably early-mid October will be the official release date for the game on the PSYTRONIK SOFTWARE label. But if you have not got a real C64. Don't worry, you wont miss out on the action. A free version of the game will be released 2 months after the tape releases. We want the people who pre-ordered the game on tape to get the chance to play it first :o)
Oh.... and one other thing ....

Sub
Hunter - News update
For those of you who are waiting to
hear more about Sub Hunter, here's some pretty good news for you all.
While I was on holiday, the Sub Hunter project was shown at the Fusion
2008 retrocomputing event. There has been some great response about the
game project and probably a lot of hype with the colourful loading
picture - a tribute to the ocean loader (As I also used Paulie H's
original Freeload source, but only thing different was no cartridge
protection and different loading music (Winterbird by Drax). This was
something I never expected to happen at the event, but I was very
pleased with Frank, who showed this game project live down at the event.After the event had finished. I received some great feedback from people about Sub Hunter (What was done so far). Frank and I have been discussing which software label should release this production. If successful, this game could possibly be released on the Psytronik Software label on real media (Tape). It is unknown if there will be a free download of the full game as well. It could be a possibility, but if not then I'll release a cut down playable preview of the game on the TND downloads section. So that you can get a taste of the action.

Sub Hunter News
Just to let you know that Sub Hunter shall commence later on this week or maybe sometime next week. I have been taking a break from it recently to help a few of my C64 friends with their game project. Which should hopefully be released some time in July 2008. Sub Hunter however is getting closer to completion. When it will be finished is anyone's guess but I estimate it around about September/October 2008 at the earliest. You have to wat and see :o)

Amazing new SEUCK game released
While I was viewing youtube.com com one day, I come across a video of a SEUCK game called Laser Hawk. I could not resist watching the video and found it was worth watching. This game is amazing. With thanks to Frank Gasking + Shaun Coleman, This game has got a new home and you are able to play this game for free on your C64 or emulator.
Laser Hawk is no ordinary SEUCK game. It features some very amazing features, not seen on a SEUCK game before (except for the parallax scrolling effect of course). The game uses colour change of game background per level, static raster bars in title screen and also (never seen on a SEUCK before) different weapons the player can shoot. I recommend you check this very special and stunning game right now.
Laser Hawk
Sub Hunter to be more active
There is going to be some more active work on Sub Hunter later on this week. It will commence tomorrow, Thursday and Saturday. However, the diary will be updated on a weekly basis :o) I'm hoping to use at least 3 days each week on the Sub Hunter project. It depends how I feel, etc.

The game uses colour change of game background per level, static raster bars in title screen and also (never seen on a SEUCK before) different weapons the player can shoot. I recommend you check this very special and stunning game right now.

Sub Hunter to be more active
There is going to be some more active work on Sub Hunter later on this week. It will commence tomorrow, Thursday and Saturday. However, the diary will be updated on a weekly basis :o) I'm hoping to use at least 3 days each week on the Sub Hunter project. It depends how I feel, etc.

Oops,
I done it again
You may have remembered Assemble IT
chapter 21. People have tried to download the example of Chapter #21
but ended up downloading the shaking demo and source (Demo 2). Sorry,
that was my mistake. I have updated the download link, so you can get
the correct file. I'll test things before uploading, next time :)

SEUCK
steps aside
We all remember the good old Shoot
Em Up construction kit on the good old Commodore C64. You could create
your own vertical smooth scrolling shoot 'em up games. Now imagine a
shoot 'em up construction kit that can scroll sideways? Go, on. You may
think think this may not happen, but by the time you read this. I am
pleased to let you know that now you can do your own side scrolling
shoot 'em ups.
SIDEWAYS SEUCK IS HERE!

Now is your chance to make your very own sideways shoot 'em up construction kit games for either the Sideways SEUCK web site, the TND web site, SEUCK vault or anywhere.
Other news: Links are now updated.

Games room is temporarily closed
The TND games room has been
temporarily closed, due to some major updates and maintenance in
progress. I'm hoping to add ALL stuff featured on to the TND web site
on to this JaC64 page and make it easier for you to chose/search the
game you wish to play, so you can play it all online if you have Java

Ooops. Hyper Duel now fixed up
Hyper Duel has been updated and fixed. There were a few bugs in the game which I forgot about last night before release. Sorry. So now I have fixed the silly errors which were as follows:
- Blue player turned dark blue after it dies when it should have been light blue
- Player Left/Right controlls seem to have been reversed.
- The incorrect scroll text was used on the title screen, replaced it with the correct text
Hopefully the game us 100% working now, but I better not speak too soon :)

Missed us?
Have you missed us already? Sorry, but we have been really busy. Now for a treat:
New Game released - Hyper Duel
A brand new C64 game has been released. It is a co-op production I have done with my friends in Crypt. The game is called Hyper Duel. This is a fun 2 player only game, where you have to fight against a friend and toast their ship. This game is based on a classic 2 player only game called Super Dogfight, but this one is even weirder.

Downhill and Jihad games updated
The two great games by TFG/MMD has been updated with new music, instead of ripped tracks from old games. Both games have music composed by myself and hopefully fit into the games quite nicely. Secondly the updated games are now available to download.

Five new *exclusive* games released
Some good news for gamers. The Fall Guy/MMD has contributed some unseen games, not one, nor two but five new unseen games, brought exclusively to The TND Web site. Those games are as follows:
Jihad - A modern classic shoot 'em up game based on Falcon Patrol by Virgin Software
Hellball - Imagine mixing air hockey and a bit of shooting. Actually this game is pretty original I have to admit
Block Soccer - A simple, but fun football simulator (Footie fans might enjoy this one).
All source codes have been included too.

Sub Hunter diary updated
Do you ever wonder what has been going on with Sub Hunter? Well, I have been taking a rest from it through Decemember 2007. However the good news is that I am back on the game project. Okay, so I did not do much of it on New Year's day, but at least it is a start. My new year's resolution is to get this game finished and released this year. Whatever month it gets released is anybody's guess, but Frank and I are doing our best to get a quality game product, rather than a load of little games :o)
We are still in the process of the bug fixing phase. Loads of bugs to try and iron out.
Want to see more fishy tales, then check out the diary :)

New Year Demo released
First of all, I want to wish you all a Happy New Year. Secondly a brand new release has been added to the TND web site. It is a new TND demo demo called New Year Messages 2008, It is a special demo where people sent their personal messages to the C64 production scene. The demo was programmed by me, which consist of a nice logo by D'Flame/Crypt, some nice music by Drax/Maniacs of Noise, a 2x2 scrolltext and a colourful dot plotter routine, which I learned from The Florida Phantom about a year ago. Hope you enjoy what you see.
