TND Web site movement completed
TND Web Site news update
The movement of The New Dimension, to another host has completed
successfully. If have you already bookmarked the website address
https://tnd64.unikat.sk please keep it just incase the url gets
transferred to the new host. I would like to say a huge thank you to
Nafcom/Scene World/POL for his help and support during the migration of
the web site. This is currently our new home (tnd64.dreamhosters.com).
I will keep you posted should anything change. Expect more updates on
TND later in the future.

TND Web site movement and SEUCK Compo 2025-Part 2 news
TND Web Site news update
For a start off, I want to announce big news, in fact some
"great" news regarding the TND web site. The future of the TND web site
has now been saved. A new host has been found. Commencing from now, The
New Dimension is currently at a phase moving to the "Scene World"
network, which is run by DreamHost. For so many years T.N.D has been
co-operating and collaborating with "Scene World", as part of a fun and
free hobby for just over 25 years. I would like to say a huge thank you
to Scene World for their support to help bring TND back to life. It is
also hoped that the tnd64.unikat.sk domain should still exist. If
anything changes regarding this then I will inform you on the TND news
page before the movement process starts on 21st March 2026. I would
like to say a huge thank you to Roman who hosted the TND website alive
for a more than 2 decades since the web site was launched in the early
2000s. Thank you so much :)
SEUCK Compo 2025-Part 2 Prize package - a secret surprise
Secondly I have more great news for the SEUCK Compo 2025-Part 2
entrants and game players. Just like with the SEUCK Compo 2025 prize
package last year. The second SEUCK Compo 2025 prize package will not
only be filled with all th entries from the previous compo, the
enhanced versions of the wiiner and runner-up entries. There will also
be a bonus game which will be an awesome ultra blazing vertical
scrolling arcade blaster collaboration with TND and another SEUCK fan.
I won't tell you what the game is yet. You will have to wait until
April 2026 to find out when the SEUCK compo prize package gets released.

TND Web site movement news
Some big news to announce with regards to the T.N.D web
site. It has come to a time where The New Dimension needs to move to a
new host. This is because sometime in April 2026, the host which I am
currently using is likely to be closing down the site. It is no fault
of mine or the host who has been running this web site for many, many
years.
I am currently looking for a new host that is able to run the TND web
site, which I can maintain myself with FTP access. allows storage zip
files that consists of my own C64 creations and contributor's releases including the C64 SEUCK Compo content, etc ,
a lot of images, and the entire web site is HTML. It does not use CSS,
PHP or any advanced code like that. Hopefully the TND web site
should be moved to another host sometime in March 2026/very early April
2026. In the meantime, if anyone has any recommendations for where the
TND website could be uploaded to (including storage of zip files, no
ads, FTP server, etc, then please let me know and I'll take a look.
Thank you and wish me good luck.

New C64 Game: Spider Maze 2
Do you remember Spider Maze back in 2018, when I
launched it as a game coding tutorial feature for Scene World issue 29?
Well, during the start of this year I have come up with an amazing
sequel in co-op with Blazon.The game also got submitted it to Zzap! 64
Micro Action exclusively for its covermount - and it has happened
already. Okay, so Spider Maze 2 is a sequel to its predecessor, but boy
heck, what a sequel it is and I think it is better than its the first
one. The game is much more presentable also. Spider Maze 2 features
more colourful graphics and multicoloured sprites. There are 8
different background tile designs, some of which contains animated
graphics. There is also plenty of great music, which includes a bit of
thumping techno music and custom made sound effects during gamepalay.
Chesser and Freeze/Blazon also joined in the fun by making an exclusive
an loading bitmap and logo for Spider Maze 2.
Take the role of Fredrik the yellow ball once again. Instead of being
on a quest to steal diamonds to make himself rich. The poor ball finds
himself involved on a rescue quest. Poor Ruby, his girfriend, has been
captured and imprisoned by the evil Spider King. Fredrik must enter a
rival spider's lair and conquer all 16 different mazes by gathering all
the diamonds available. However, the poor yellow ball must face the web
jumping spiders, and a few deadly obstacles such as spikes and skulls.
However to help or hinder Fredrik, there are different objects around
the maze which he can pick up. Fredrik also must race against time if
he is to gather all the diamonds in each maze otherwise he will be
trapped in the maze forever. It is tough, its frantic but hopefully
Spider Maze 2 should be a whole lot of fun. It is time to check it out!

2 New Entries to the C64 SEUCK Compo 2025 - Part 2 + Submissions closed
First of all a Happy New Year. I also
have some good news for you. The SEUCK Compo 2025 - Part 2 has two new
submissions submitted in time for the deadline. However, the bad news
is that the compo submissions have now drawn to a close. If you have
submitted a game for the compo which I have not received in time (or
have not received yet) then I am afraid that you are too late. The
voting stage for the SEUCK compo will commence next week. This will be
announced in the news. Anyway, here are the two entries, which both
made it in time for the submission deadline:
Entry #11 - The New Dimension by Recycled Music

Imagine
what it would be like to become an experiment and get chucked into
another dimension. Well, in this game it has happened. The mad
professor Kranz has sent you into a different dimension and entraps you
inside a strange labyrinth as part of his crazy experiment. Your task
is to try and escape from it. In order to do that, you must move around
the labyrinth avoiding collision with nasties or boundaries - otherwise
you will die. Communicate with other people, who will either help you
or hinder you to die. The maze also features very deadly creatures,
some tricks and also traps. Can you escape from The New Dimension? -
Well, not the TND web site I hope :)

Entry #12 - Jessica Steel - Bloodmonger by Christian Siege

Finally,
to close the SEUCK Compo 2025 - Part 2 submissions is a fast paced
paranormal themed horizontal scrolling run 'n gun featuring fast paced
techno/rave music (as requested by the author). In this game you play
the role of Jessica Steel, who is a Paranormal agent. A group of
cultists, known to be the Bloodmonger have managed to summon and open a
deadly portal barrier, which has released deadly monsters and
through it. Now they are now attempting to take over the world. Armed
with an electromagnetic pistol that can fire at a very short range,
Paranormal agent Jessica Steel is on the hunt to find the portal
barrier and destroy it, however, she must do battle against the
monsters and robots. Jessica must also avoid some of the enemies that
cannot be shot.
