John was the first Adventuron user and at the lowest point in my life he was the person who kept me going, providing me with a smile each day.

He loved what he did, and he did it for its own sake - answering to no-one.

Heartfelt condolences to Anne.

Combining 'Adventuron' and some decent artwork can lead to quite an impressive-looking game ... in my opinion ... 😉

Not sure if anyone is interested but I just released the Adventuron system font "Bamburgh" under the SIL Open Font License.

Free to use commercially, but not not be sold individually or in a collection of fonts.

Enjoyed presenting Adventuron at the Picotachi event yesterday.

I demo'd Spooky Adventure which seemed to go down well w/ beeps and blips and

teletext graphics. Steve is a legend.

Maybe I should Kickstart Spooky Adventure 2 with many more graphics / puzzles?

I'm happy to announce that both code and game logic for Rabenstein are done. I took me nearly a month to "just" polish everything. I'm going to add the graphics now for the different platforms. The modern PC version (using Adventuron) is done already!

I heavily expanded "The Curse of Rabenstein". Now I'm backporting all the changes I made to the 8-bit and 16-bit variants back to Adventuron, so that even the modern-PC version will offer the same advanced experience from all the other versions I've created...
