I have finally got round to updating this web site. Its not finished yet though, but I'll finish it soon... ;-)

Where has all the time gone....?
Thursday, 20th December 2007
Wow! Its almost Christmas already and there hasn't been an update to this site for ages. Life, work, and everything else has been getting in the way as it always does, but I have managed to find some time to update the GFI core to support many new functions including shader effect (FX) management, more hardware acceleration support, all DDS formats, code optimisations, interface updates, and much more.

Look out for the next release coming soon.

Where has all the time gone?
Thursday, 29th March 2007
Wow! Its almost April already. Time is flying by! This just make me realise how little coding I have been doing recently. Jet Set Willy was almost complete in February 2006 and I have not yet completed the 200 lines of code for the load/save routines! Time to get to it. The game is fully playable and I have done the bulk of the load/save routines in the last couple of days when I have had some spare time. I really shouldn't have bought The Godfather, FEAR, and all those other games at Christmas. I bought Stalker the other day so I need to be careful and make sure I finish the code... ;-)

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Merry Christmas everyone! May your turkey be properly cooked, and your beer properly chilled! ;-)

The first game to be released for the engine is the classic Manic Miner, and is also available to download from the GameFramework Interface (GFI) Games section.

GFI Manic Miner

GFI Manic Miner
Monday, 12th September 2005
After a major coding session over the weekend, Manic Miner for my GameFramework Interface (GFI) engine is close to completion. The game still requires a bit of work on the title screen, game over, and some level specific code, but should hopefully be ready very soon.

The completion of this game will also allow the beta version of my GFI core to be released and hopefully I will receive some feedback (shameless hint!) from downloaders on any issues they may have with its operation or compatibility with their machine hardware.

Check out the game info and screenshots in the GFI Games section.

Jet Set Willy Final Release
Thursday, 28th July 2005
Jet Set Willy has been updated to the final release version.

Since releasing the XP fix on 24th July 2005, I thought I should finalise the game. The music player has been updated to sound more like the original C64 music (ADSR fully utilised), but nothing else needed any changes.

Get the final version of this classic game from the Older Games section.

Broken Downloads
Tuesday, 26th July 2005
Some of the files for download appear to have been unavailable. The affected files were .exe files and mostly affected some of the Kingpin mods, but also a couple of games.
Presumably my host does not allow downloading of .exe files any more.

These have now been fixed.

SID Synthesizer Update
Sunday, 24th July 2005
Jet Set Willy and Tetris have been updated to run on Windows XP.

The updated versions can be downloaded from the Older Games section.
