It seems like there may be another member of the XeO3 family! Russell Kay (author of PC Lemmings) who I currently sit beside at work and harass like a badger with a sore bum, has been persuaded to have a play with some old spectrum stuff again. He has actually written a spectrum game years and years ago called Zone Trooper . It wasn't wonderful, but he was just doing a port so it's not his fault, the code however was fab, and he did love the old speccy. So now, he's back - at least for a while - to have a play at doing a spectrum version of XeO3. Great Stuff!! Could it be the first multi-platform games release on the +4, C64 and Spectrum in well over 10 years?? Time will tell....
So, after that great news....I've nothing much to report. I've had an evening off and sat down and watched a film. I have imported the Plus/4 colour map into the editor and tomorrow I hope to start making the editor more usable - rather than just an animation tool. Still I'm a little sort on energy, so I think its an early night.
So...nothing done and it's STILL been a great night for XeO3 news!!
