Up in the Air diary
Unavailable for 2 weeks!
I will be unavailable to answer forum posts, reply to emails, etc between 24th July - 4th August as I will not be online between those dates. So please accept delays through to 5th August. On 7th August, I will be revealing the results to the Sideways SEUCK Compo 2011. The good news is that we'll be doing it again next year if anyone is interested. :)
Chang's Adventure
This way to V.I.O.S 2011 - Special Edition
We have also added V.I.O.S 2011 - Special edition, and the original V.I.O.S game in to the TND Games Room, in which you can play online.
TND Games Room
December 2011
Please be aware that The TND web site (Our own productions front) will be very quiet through until December. We will however be releasing some new releases for Decemeber 2011, including the final version of Woolly Jumper. We will be continuing to add news/contributor's games releases on to the contributor's page. We have some surprises in store for December 2011, so you had better wait and see. :)
TND JaC64 Page under maintenance
Just to let you know that the TND
JaC64 page is currently under maintenance. For some reason when
selecting a filename from the menu, we had a READY. RUN. READY. prompt.
Unfortunately this page couldn't be resolved so I am working on some
additional pages which will automatically run each program that you
select on a separate page. There will also be a brief history and
playing instructions on each game as well.
This will be our final update until Christmas 2011. So here's what we have in store Christmas Time
- There will be not 1, 2 but probably 3 or more new games released on to the TND web site.
- The Games Room (JaC64 page) will be fully functional
- Plus one more nice surprise for you all.
So on Christmas Eve (As I will be offline Christmas Day), keep an eye out for the prezzies :)
TND JaC64 Page not functional
I have received an email regarding
the TND Games Online page not being functional when online and
uploaded. This appears to be true. There seems to be a fault on that
particular page. Unfortunately I have not had time to take a look at
the problem. I will look into this problem as soon as I get the time.
If all doesn't go according to plan, then I may have to reprogram the
TND games online page again.
New contributor's game - Seventh Mission
Time for some sky high esponiage
action with the latest sideways SEUCK game from Roberto Ricoppio.
Seventh Mission is a game in which you fly a helicopter through day or
night, blasting the living hell out of those enemy spies by land, sea
or by air. Enjoy.
Seventh Mission
New contributor's game - F7 Cars Target
Roberto Ricioppo has contributed
yet another SEUCK game. F7 Cars Target. It's a sort of shoot 'em racer,
created using the vertical scrolling SEUCK.
Drive through to F7 Cars Target
You may have noticed that there has hardly been any regular updates recently. Well, the reason behind this is that I have been extremely busy with the Shoot Em Up Destruction Set 2, and also Woolly Jumper. You'll find those in the TND64.blogspot.com address. A .D64 and .TAP WJ will be released on 25th December 2011 - If we get it finished in time that is. :)
September 2011
New contributor's game - Wars for the Conquest of Space
Roberto Ricioppo has contributed
yet another SEUCK game. Wars for the Conquest of Space. A space battle
in which Earth tries to make peace with the civilizations from the
entire galaxy. The only problem is, that it's so hostile - a war has
broken loose between two of the alien empires.
Wars for the Conquest of Space
New contributor's game - Hunt to Agent 005
Roberto Ricioppo has contributed
yet another Sideways SEUCK game production for the contributor's page.
This time round it is time for the well know spy related car chase and
shooting - just like in the spy related action movies. Well, you are on
a hunt to get to Agent 005 as he's done a bad thing threatened to cause
chaos around the city. You best read the game page to find out what's
happened. :)
This way to Hunt to Agent 005
New contributor's game - Across the Galaxy on Sector RCM1972 released.
It is time for yet another
contributor's game. Roberto Ricioppio has provided us yet another SEUCK
creation. This time it was created using the Sideways Scrolling Left
modded version of the Shoot Em Up Construction kit. Hope you will have
fun playing this game. A huge thank you once again to Roberto for his
latest creation. :)
Across the Galaxy to Sector RCM1972
You can now play both of Roberto's games online in the TND Games Room
New contributor's game - Attack to Planet of Blix released
It is time for another new game,
but not made by me at the moment (As I am still working on it). Roberto
Ricioppo has kindly contributed his first SEUCK game creation, called
Attack to Planet of Blix. It's a game in which you are on an alien
planet, fighting against the hostile creatures.

Some news updates for you
The bad news
Up in the Air - Frozen!
I have unfortunately decided to
hold back Up in the Air for the
time being, to make way for the Psytronik Software game projects,
composing music for Mission Extreme C64, Pac It and also my 16KB
cartridge compo for RGCD.CO.UK.
The good news
Shoot 'Em Up Destruction Set 2
I have just finished two games for the Shoot Em Up Destruction Set 2 called Bloodwheels and Super Tau Zeta. Both of those games were written by Alf Yngve, using the Shoot Em Up Construction Kit. Don't dispair, it may be SEUCK, but with additional in game enhancements, high score tables, etc. The games feel much more better. I am now working on 2000 Kung Fu Maniacs. Then will be Trojahn and a mystery program for SEUDS 2, which you will have to wait and see.
Sheepoid 2 - Woolly Jumper
Baaaah! Another funny game. Well, it's not really going to be that Psychedelic as Sheepoid, or is it? Sheepoid 2 is actually going to be something completely different and possibly quite original. The game is cross between a constant horizontal scrolling shoot 'em up and a platformer. I am doing programming and music for this game, which Shaun Pearson is working on the graphics for the game. The game is going to be an entry for the RGCD 16KB cartridge game competition - That's if I can fit it into 16KB. Also a final version of the game (Featuring more levels) may probably be mastered on disk+tape and uploaded on to the TND web site, (or perhaps as a Psytronik Software release as well).
2 New tunes released (1 good and 1 bad)
Some new tunes have been uploaded on to the music section. One is the unreleased music I originally wrote for 2000 Kung Fu Maniacs (Which sadly never suited the funny game) and also a horrendous tune, which a year later gets unearthed from the dead :)

TND JaC64 Page back online
What a good
time to relaunch our TND Room. Because of a lot of maintenance required
with the pages. We have been keeping busy fixing this page in the
evenings. The newest games, including what's been added to download
today. We do hope you will have loads of fun playing our games (and
contributor's productions). We feel releived that this page is finally
back online. There's also a bit of history about each of the TND games.
The games from contributors just have credits. Have
lots of fun gamers!

New contributor's games - Extravaganza!
Alf Yngve has impressed us yet again with another amazing SEUCK creation. This is a tribute to the classic Firebird game, Warhawk. Grayhawk has some nice graphics, really fast paced game play and also a new front end with music by me. This is the first game to have used my new tape loader game, Happy Blocks :)
Grayhawk
and finally
Purge 101 by Anthony Burns
Anthony surprises us with Purge 101. An attempt at making an Operation Wolf style of game. With normal SEUCK it doesn't work that well, but after importing this into the SEUCK redux source. The game worked out very good. It features a new front end, and a nice (ish) logo drawn by me. We do hope that you will enjoy this creation :)

TND Goodies roundup

SEUCK Fans will
be pleased to hear that we have some brand new contributor's releases

Destroy all Robots X21 by Roberto Ricioppo
Destroy All Robots X21
Roberto brings us his latest shoot 'em up construction kit game. Which is a game in which you have to blast robots. Well, I think that's what it's all about. :)
Strike Team Alpha by Carl Mason
Carl brings us this stealth game, inspired by Commando, or Mercs. Strike Team 1 and 2 appeared on the Commodore Zone cover disk, and both games played very well. During Summer/Autumn 2011, Carl has been very busy working on a new sequel (or new missions) of the game and what a corker of a game it is too. This game features a brand new title screen, and some military style in game music all added by me as well. Great game :)

Special Edition, released.
Carl's
SEUCK masterpiece, V.I.O.S gets a sequel, well is a sequel? I don't
know. This time the game's even tougher, and still inspired from the
classic japanese retroblasters from the mid 80's to early 90's. V.I.O.S
features some real fast paced blasting, great 8-bit top down scenery
and some breath taking in game effects, which Carl has implemented into
the game. Awesome retroblasting for us retrogeeks out there :o) This way to V.I.O.S 2011 - Special Edition
We have also added V.I.O.S 2011 - Special edition, and the original V.I.O.S game in to the TND Games Room, in which you can play online.

Some more great news for those of you who have been waiting to play my Sheepoid game on WinVice, CCS64 or HOX's 64. Psytronik Software has now added a digital download to this production. What makes the news even greater for you. It's ABSOLUTELY FREE too. Bleating great news huh? :)

Up in the Air Diary updated (C64 W.I.P)
Jolly good show (Cue posh person impression). Well, yes in fact so. Yesterday, the finishing touches of Super Tau Zeta, and today, some more work done the Up in the Air game. We even show you a sneak preview of one of the levels (as a screen shot), despite the status bar looking as if it's been ransacked by the updated graphics charset data. Anyway, enjoy the diary entry.

A Little Up in the Air diary update (C64)
Last weekend I have been doing a little more programming on the Up in the Air project - Although this will be a matter of a very slow process, due to lack of cups of tea served with a delicious chocolate biscuit. Anyway, there has been a diary entry from Sunday last week about UITA's level 8. Please read on if you are interested with the project.

Chasm Chaser 2 released (C64)
Wannabe C64 programmer Joshua Green has been busy with a little beginner's project working on C64PRGStudio by A.Jordison. Well, finally the game's finished and ready to be released. Oh hang on a second, the game's released already. This game features a bitmap which I drew using my Bamboo Touch+Pen and OxPaint, and then converted to the Commodore 64. The final product's here. Oh, and don't take it too seriously please. We're waiting for the kettle to boil now :)

Cycotics
A cycling simulator, created using SEUCK. In which you are a cyclist who has to cycle through a busy road to meet his girlfriend and have the fun of knocking people off their bicycles, just for a laugh. This game also features some clever in game effects as well.
Strike School
An Operation Wolf style game in which you have to shoot those targets that appear on screen, within a certain time limit.
And coming soon, when we get it ... VIOS , an ultimate shoot 'em up blaster, written back in 1993.
As well as the TND versions of the games, I have also included the original tape versions of Cycotics and Strike School. So you can enjoy the SEUCK style SFX if music is too much for you ;o)
Carl sent me a few other games for the TND contributor's page, but I have reserved those for the SEUCK Vault :)
This way to Sheepoid preview
The bad news is that we can't add this game to the TND Games Room, as it's not compatible with the JAC64. So you best play this on a C64, CCS64, HOXs or WinVice :)
On the Farm 2 - Available from the Contributor's page
Up in the Air - Stuck on the ground
For the past 2 or 3 months you might have noticed that the Up in the Air diary had gone really quiet. The reason for this was because I have been extremely busy at work and also I have been working on some other C64 stuff for Psytronik Software. Hopefully around about june time the Up in the Air project (Level 8, I think) should hopefully continue.
April 2011
You may have noticed that there was
hardly any news for April. It may look as if it was quiet, but we have
actually been very active on the game production front. A brand new
game has been produced and will be available near to the end of May

Moo-Lander released (PC)
This is not really C64 related
today, but I have been busy the past 2 days working on a funny little
PC game, to practice games development using Blitz Basic. Plus it was
about time you saw another PC programmed game from me as well don't you
agree. Well, to celebrate the release of Sheepoid on 2nd June. I have
decided to keep the theme of this game to "Farmyard animals and camels"
therefore a new game involving, cows, goats, sheep and camels have been
born on the PC. I'm not too sure if this one's psychedelic, but it's
full of madness. :) Moo-Lander is the name, and landing on to grassy
landscapes is the game :) Huge thank you goes to Alex Goldbat for
supplying the music for the title screen for this game.Moo-Lander is available to download from here

Sheepoid - Now available from
Psytronik Software
The wait
is finally over. The full game of Sheepoid (My own homebrew C64 game
creation) has now been released on disk and tape. This is a psychedelic
game, based on Jeff Minter's classic "Laser Zone", and I created this
production to pay tribute to Jeff and his amazing C64 psychedelia. In
this game, you play as 2 sheep which have to defend each neon vortex
against assorted invaders (Depending on which vortex your sheepoid is
on). During your mission, you must rescue stranded sheep, simply by
colliding into those. If you do this once, then a smart bomb gets
awarded to you. But if you collide into an invader or your sheep get
caught in a friendly fire, then both sheep will self-destruct, thus
losing a life. So get ready for some retrospective awesome laser
blazing madness. Over 24 chaotic levels, with really crazy enemies and
concept. A digital download of this game is also available to
download for free. For more information about this game, please visit Psytronik Software's web site

VIOS by Carl Mason
Here's another amazing quality
SEUCK creation written by Carl Mason. This time its an arcade style
retro blaster called VIOS. This is a futuristic blaster, which was
inspired from some of the classic Japanese retroblaster arcade shoot
'em ups. This game features stunning graphics, cool robot formations,
and some other impressive surprises. Special thank you goes to Carl for
supplying this great blaster. As usual, if music is too much for you
with this game, there's the original .TAP file which Carl also
supplied, in which the game contains SFX only :)Visit this page to download VIOS

On the Farm 2 - The first ever
herd 'em up for the C64? - Now available
TND Contributor, Achim Volkers has
yet again produced another fun game for you to download. This time it
is a sequel to On the Farm. It is a hilarious fun sheep herding
simulator, in which you control a border collie dog, rather than a
sheep. Can you herd those mischeivous sheep within a set time limit,
will your dog bark like crazy? Huge thanks go to Achim Volkers for this
amazing game, also to Wayne Womersley who originally come up with this
idea, which Achim liked and managed to make a game using his idea. :o)The bad news is that we can't add this game to the TND Games Room, as it's not compatible with the JAC64. So you best play this on a C64, CCS64, HOXs or WinVice :)
On the Farm 2 - Available from the Contributor's page
Up in the Air - Stuck on the ground
For the past 2 or 3 months you might have noticed that the Up in the Air diary had gone really quiet. The reason for this was because I have been extremely busy at work and also I have been working on some other C64 stuff for Psytronik Software. Hopefully around about june time the Up in the Air project (Level 8, I think) should hopefully continue.

It's BLITZ time again!
After a VERY long wait we have
finally done a feature on the software method of Sprite/Background
collision. We have even built a little game using this feature, for you
to try and learn to program, or modify and improve (and show off in the
Friends/Contributor's page or CSDB or wherever). In this edition of the
Assemble IT feature. We build our very own remake of the classic BASIC
programmed game, called Blitz. Although, we already know that's been
done before eh?.
Enjoy this latest installation of:
Assemble It!

Up in the Air update
More work has been done on Up in
the Air. Both and Wayne have something to say in this week's edition of
the game diary. Plus there's another screen shor of what could have
been another level for this game, but was updated. There's still a lot
of work to go through with this project.Visit Up in the Air diary
What's happened to the Vertical SEUCK Compo winner's prize?
Well, don't panic. I am nearly finished with the prize version of Il Mago. The only difference is that the name is called -The Mage-. The main title screen's finished, the in game enhancements are also finished. I need to draw the loading screen and also to a tape master for it. I'm also waiting for the cover inlay to include with this game as well. I'm sure that the game will be released some time this month.

New contributor's game - Space
Trip released
On this cold Friday we are very
proud to bring you a brand new game, written by Achim Volkers, brought
exclusively to The New Dimension. This is a platform adventure game
called "Space Trip", in which you are aboard a star ship. You mission
is to clean all of the decks by eradicating all of the crazy
aliens on board. At the start of the game, and any time a life is lost
as well. Your mission will be to find the phaser gun, charge it up then
be prepared to shoot loads and loads of bullets at those baddies. Feels
just like going back to 1988 and enjoying the moments! :o)

10th July 2011 - All
submissions deadline has now closed - Definitely this time!
The submission deadline has now closed, and all entries have been added to the JaC64 page, which you can now play online. Also we have an extra SEUCK game for you, which is a Vertical Scrolling SEUCK creation. Take a look at the general news for more information :o)
Votesheet is now live. Click here
7th July 2011 - BREAKING NEWS - SUBMISSION DEADLINE 10TH JULY 2011 (2:00PM) (UK)
I have been asked when the voting commences for the Sideways SEUCK Compo. Originally it was planned to have been today, but due to the lack of spare time I have had available. I have decided to make the FINAL deadline 10th July 2011 - Which I will most certainly have plenty of time to prepare the votesheet, voter's pack (disk) and also add all of the entries in to the TND games room. So if you have just finished your game, and want to submit it to the competition, then go ahead, and don't be late, or you'll be disappointed. :o)
3rd July 2011
Time for some action. Entry #7 is the final entry to this year's compo. It's called "Action Def", written by Christian Siege. A ladders and traps game, starring, erm, well ... Action Def of course. And of course some JCH style music, which I composed using Goat Tracker. Have fun playing this final compo entry :)

2nd July 2011
What a surprise ... The first ever "DEFENDER" game created in SEUCKs. That cannot be possible.... or can it? Anyway, Pavel Loda / Deff-Soft has come up with this defender clone, Deff-Ender. So it's time to pilot the latest state of the art aircraft, and fight against those invaders.
You have until 6pm GMT+0 on 3rd July before we close the entries submission.
29th June 2011
Time for some comical cartoon antics, in which takes a light hearted look at modern society. Where kids have nothing better to do, except for cause trouble on the streets, drinking alcohol and of course blaring out loud music. This is Joshua Green's comical entry for the Sideways SEUCK Compo called "Escape From The Annoying Chavs". A game in which you are me, who is walking the troublesome streets to get to the local pub on a hard working day. I found this to be pretty much amusing.
24th June 2011
It's time for a Friday horror night as this time round we have a brand new spine chiller of a game called "Forgotten Forest", designed and produced by the master of SEUCK, Alf Yngve. This is a SEUCK game based on Cosmi's "Forbidden Forest". Remember to not play this before you go to bed otherwise you might have nightmares.
Because this year we did not get many entries, we kept on having to extend the submission deadlines. We are sorry for doing this, but because of the lack of entries (I wanted at least 5 entries in total before the voting phase starts) I had to keep doing this. However, between Thursday 30th June is most definitely the closing date. So if you have a Sideways SEUCK game you wish to enter for the compo - BETTER HURRY NOW.
8th May 2011
Anthony strikes back with his final sideways SEUCK compo entry for this year's compo (Max no of entries allowed = 2). This time it's a medieval based game called "Heroes of Midgard". The queen Malexia has sent out troops (Controlled by player 1 and player 2) to stop the invaders from Nifhelm. A pretty clever concept for a sideways SEUCK game. I have to admit :)
24th April 2011
We have extended the deadline for submissions to 30th June 2011. This will give people extra time to work and finish their entries before voting commences on 1st July 2011 (If we get more than 4 entries that is :)) Don't forget - Maximum of 2 entries per person / group is allowed. :)
30th March 2011
Our second entry comes from Alf Yngve. This is something which has NEVER been done with Sideways SEUCK before. Alf provides us with "Missile Madness", a tough and pretty good fun SEUCK Missile Command remake. Hope you will enjoy it :)

Our first entry for this year's Sideways SEUCK compo has been submitted. It's also a nice way start to the compo as well. Our first entry is Flawshow, written by Anthony Burns. It is a sort of cross between a Sideways SEUCK SMASH TV/Robotron style game, with blue bugs, and erm crumbling blocks, forming some nice artwork of babes. Nice one Anthony :o)
