New arcade shoot 'em up from TND
Galaxo Blast by TND Games

May has been a busy month for new TND releases eh? Well, we have just one more before we end this month with no more releases until next month (With a new tool). The final game for this month is called "Galaxo Blast", which is quite an addictive little arcade shooter which was inspired by the classic "Astro-Panic". A game I discovered on a Public Domain disk back in the 1990s. Galaxo Blast is different however. Fight against wave after wave of aliens that try to invade the galaxy by bobbing around it. Watch out for their deadly lasers and try to score as many points as you can. This is a crazy space blaster featuring a parallax starfied, 8 levels of intense alien blasting action, a very colour presentation with cool music. Also, I just to remind you that this game was developed exclusively as part of Lemon 64's "Fun and Games Programming in Assembly Part 3". So, strap yourself into a spaceship (or perhaps the local bus) and then prepare for a bumpy ride.

One updated contributors game
Dantalion by Eleanor Burns

Eleanor has reported a bug in her game, Dantalion where the player spawns in the wrong place during gameplay and occasionally got stuck in the background. A patch was mailed to me and it now results to a bug fixed version of Dantalion, which  replaces the previous version of this game. Hopefully now the player should spawn at the correct position without trouble. I do hope you have fun with this new version.

Two Scene World Exclusives for TND

Dantalion by Eleanor Burns

Two games were made for the Scene World one-off digital cover tape (which sadly did not make it into the scene yet) so we have been given the go-ahead to release these games onto the TND web site first. The digital cover tape aimed to be a free digital download with Scene World issue 36.

The first game comes by the form of Dantalion, a flip screen platforming puzzler created by Eleanor Burns using the Shoot 'Em Up Construction Kit. It also features a lot of amazing in game enhancements. You play as a hero Dantalion, who witnessed a horrific fate of his mother, which was caused by the evil monster, Bael. Dantalion enters the Academy of Dark Arts in order to try and learn and upskill so that he can face his nightmare and defeat Bael for good. The only thing that steps in your way are his evil monsters and other obstacles. Prepare for a magical adventure.

Duo Tanx by TND Games

The second game released today is Duo Tanx, a simple arena tank duel game for 2 players only. Play against a friend (or foe) and guide your tanks around the arena and prepare to do battle against your opponent. During the game there will be mystery power ups/power downs that can do good/bad to your tank. The game also features a selection of game options on the title screen which can set the maximum number of rounds to win the game. Also you can pick whether or not you want arenas to appear in order or at random. Now get into your tank and prepare for carnage.

Enhanced SEUCK Game released
Doom Mine Adventure (Enhanced Edition) by TND Games

The New Dimension is proud to present an enhanced edition of Doom Mine Adventure, a previous entry that was submitted to the SEUCK Compo 2025-Part 2 competition. This version of the game does not use SEUCK Redux, but the TND tool SEUCK Title Screen Maker for its front end. There are also some in game enhancements, which include a new score panel for 2 players, a major bugfix on the player spawn position - so that it prevents the players from appearing on collision blocks/chars and finally background animation for the water. The Museum of Everything has had two sacred artfacts stolen by robbers, but they accidentally dropped a map that leads to an ancient mine in Tibet. The museum curators get trapped inside the mine only to find out that it is haunted and the only way out is to go on a long trek straight through the mine, where they will encounter the robber's masked henchmen, rogue explorers, wizzing mine carts, flying rotating sawblades, deadly creatures,and some real horrors set by the curse of the dead King Zulog. Locate the artefacts and remove them in order to break the curse. Good luck.

SEUCK Compo 2025 - Part 2 news update

The SEUCK Compo 2025-Part Prize pack is coming


The SEUCK Compo 2025 - Part 2 compo prize package is nearly finished and should hopefully be released sometime in May. All winner and runner up entries for the competition have been enhanced. I looks as if only two entries for the compo will be featuring a loading bitmap this time round, instead of three, but we will have to wait and see. The compo prize package has been fully compiled on D64 and TAP only but the pack is not yet ready to be launched, but we are close to completion with it. Finally, there is a bonus shooter added to the prize package for you all to look forward to. Watch this space. It's coming soon ...



A huge thank you

There have been some great reactions towards some of my recent games I developed. The biggest reaction for me this year was "Spider Maze 2". I was so pleased with the result, and the number of people enjoying this game has made me ecstatic and motivated to make another new C64 game sometime in the future - hopefully near the end of summer time. It won't be a large project as I do not have the time or motivation to make something ultimately big like "Cruiser-X 79". I would like to say a huge thank you to all of you who have been supporting me by playing and enjoying "Spider Maze 2". Normally sequels are not as good as their prequels, but this time, this scenario has been proved incorrect.

I do have a couple of games already finished, one is "Duo Tanx", which was coded last year and is currently awaiting release. The other game is called "Galaxo Blast", which was coded as part of the Lemon 64 games development tutorial. (As you read this, I am currently writing the pages for the 3rd episode of "Fun and Games Programming In Assembly"). Once again, a huge thank you to all of the supporters out there. It is much appreciated.

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 :)

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!
