Is here an appropriate place to list the odd bug..? Not sure if that feedback is wanted or not
Just here is fine, I may or may not do anything about them - and if it's todo with the updates. otherwise, it's the original game... Won't change them.
Also... the lifts aren't perfect, I know that. But it's as good as they'll get.
Other than that - fire away.
Unhelpfully I did not make a note of the location (maybe 9:5 or 9:6) but when going through some of the doors the HUD started corrupting line by line obscuring altitude and speed etc - upto 3 lines by the time I stopped
looks faster /smoother/ than Atari ST version, go figure.
You rock dude! I have heard much about this game but never played it. I did play Damocles on my Atari ST which I loved but it’s time to haul out my Next and give its predecessor a go! So awesome!
What a start to '26.
Oh, I may be misunderstanding this but looks like I need to pay the £15 per month Patreon fee to access this? I just signed up with the basic £3 membership but the post is blurred.
Yeah, sorry. Only "Builder" level Patreon's get access to any beta's I do.
But it should be out soon enough.
You will however get access to the articles written around this on how it was done.
very good
Wow this is great to see. Thanks for the great New Year’s Day treat.
Happy New Year Mike.
What a fab surprise for New Year’s Day! Thank you for your efforts with this fine game; this kind of enhancement is just the sort of thing I like to see on the Next.
