Damn. Due to severe harddisk failure, I've probably lost all my work, including back-ups. I have some screens here and there, but I probably lost what I've made in the past couple of months.

De Witte Smid has a pc and we've started to work on something new. A detective and a horror-adventure game.

ARRRRR

Yeah. Pretty rough start to an engine. Many ideas floating around in my head but not enough time/motivation.

microwave, what the heck is it?

Fun fact: Lebensraum was nearly lost forever when Nadir's Compaq Presario of the time broke down, and a fix job was horribly botched by some guy at a computer store who kept referring to it as a "Compact Computer". It was eventually salvaged when the hard drive was moved to another computer case with no OS and Nadir was able to transfer it to a floppy disc, where progress was completed. The computer died forever a couple of months later and sent to computer Valhalla (abandoned at a landfill).

The Grass Game, where King Reefer has taken all the pot from the Kingdom of Cannabis to Hashish Castle for himself. You decide to go fetch it back, etc., etc.

Microwave, what's that engine screenshot of? It looks like some sort of RPG with multiple PC's.

And yeah, I can see someone saying "compaqt" computer if they'd NEVER seen the "Compaq" logo on a computer case, but if they FIX computers for a living I'd hope that they figure it out eventually.

Also, I keep thinking I'm gonna make some great new game about a box and a blob that you solve puzzles with. Make the blob into a coil and bounce the box off of it, make the blob into a ramp and slide the box into a crevice, etc, etc. Sounds more like a project for Flash or GameMaker but I like making engines in ZZT.

Also, great and inspiring tales of file retrieval.

Working on a new ZZT exploration type game. Working title is "Canyons." Also tinkering with a re-make of a game I never released called "Escape from the burning building."

Also have ZZTV10 channel in the works. Sorry no screenshots. (I love to be hated.)
