Re: Nibblin': I finished an old project in 2018

Thanks!

ZZT has a weird kind of cachet with the indie scene currently. Some of those itch games are also by former community ZZTers that are going by different names now. Pretty wild that ZZT games end up on the premier indie game storefront in the year 2018.

Nibblin': I finished an old project in 2018

Hey, ZZTers. It's 2018 and I finished an engine game I started at least 15 years ago. Maybe longer. I'm not really sure. https://img.itch.zone/aW1hZ2UvMzA4OTQ3LzE1MTczODIucG5n/original/he47vT.png https://img.itch.zone/aW1hZ2UvMzA4OTQ3LzE1MTczODQucG5n/original/XfTymV.png It's a pretty dorky thing to ...

Re: The Freeware Thread

Hey, kids. I guess why not indulge in a little shameless self-promotion on this here quiet internet forum I still check a couple times a week? I did it five years ago! Here is Explobers , a puzzle platformer inspired by things like Lemmings (still on that shit) and the Lost Vikings. I've spent proba...

Re: Rare ZZT Game Bounties

I really hope that AOL stuff gets discovered some day. My first QBASIC adventure game is lost in that muck.

Re: BANG! revival

Glad y'all thought it was interesting. It was cool to dig into my files and my memories to write that. I think I'd released a screenshot on my website at the time, but otherwise I'm sure almost no one knew this thing was in the works.

Re: BANG! revival

This may (or very well may not) be of interest to some, but I recently wrote a blog post about a Zem! X remake in Bang! that never really got off the ground that I, WiL, and adv were all working on like 14 years ago.

Re: A game I thought I lost

Oh hey leamas. A while ago, I was trying to locate Thief 1 and 2, but neither is on Z2, and I can't find them anywhere else. Are they lost to time?

Re: A New z2

Basically popping in to say the new site redesign looks awesome (could possibly use some spit polish, but could also run as-is) and you're killing it with WorldsofZZT Tumblr, Dos.

Re: The Freeware Thread

Hey, ZZrTers. Been thinking about maybe staging another ZZT game jam in the future, maybe this Fall, maybe not on an international holiday. In the meantime, I released a freeware game that I spend most of last year working on. It's called Caverns of Khron and it's all NES and DOS-game inspired retro...

YEAH that was pretty stupid to set it on mother's day weekend. Mother's Day is one of those holidays that sneaks up on me and I wasn't even thinking about that shit.

Weekend of ZZT Blitzkrieg-a-thon at Glorious Trainwrecks!

Hello, ZZT.org. It's Newt. It's been a long damn while. Almost ten years or some shit like that. I'm pretty active at http://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com these days, making little games there. I'm staging an event weekend next month (May 12-13) where over the course of a weekend, I'm going to try to ...
