  • 15 January 11

    First update for the year. Plenty of finetuning work being conducted on my BM PC game. Solved a few niggling problems but I'm happy to say that all the units work perfectly and all the terrain features act as they should. Now I just need to finish off the editor so you can make your own levels.

  • 28 December 10

    Wow! Long time, no update. Battle Masters Vassal mod version 0.8 has been released! A lot more automation has been added, check out the instructions for details. The BM PC game is on the verge of release. Space Crusade has had a lot of work done to it, there is a topdown version mostly working although I'm still waiting for my artist to finish his sprites for the isometric version.

  • 11 August 09

    Scenario editor for Battle Masters has been rewritten to allow easier editing. Work on Space Crusade has halted as the dedicated graphic artist had a computer crash and is having trouble getting his Space Crusade files back. Meanwhile, a new patch is out for HeroQuest that fixes a number of outstanding bugs as well as some optimisations to the code.

  • 18 March 09

    Scenario editor for Battle Masters is completed. Restarted work on Space Crusade as I now have a dedicated graphic artist helping out. And it's back to isometric view which of course means all the changes I made last time have to be reversed. Such is the price of progress.

  • 1 October 07

    Thought I'd better start updating this page again. Started work on the Witch Lord expansion for HQ. Got all the levels done and just working on the finer programming details. Space Crusade has changed from a top down game to an isometric view similar to HQ. This has resulted in some delays as I change all the code to iso mode. Battle Masters is progressing well and should be completed soonish. There isn't any AI at the moment but it will be added.

  • 11 March 07

    Finally released HQ with the KK expansion pack.
