New features will include:
- Much faster performance (no more waiting!)
- Mouse and Joystick support
- Graphics (including worlds as 2x2 Char objects)
- Travelling fleets will finally be displayed
- Selectable ambient musics and SFX
- Extended game rules / principles.

On Big User's game development page you will find more details about the project (German only, sorry).

The party will be held on 4.-6. October 2002 in the House of Culture (Dom Kultury) in Bartoszyce. C64.sk will keep you updated, but meanwhile start to make arrangements & create your stuff, as this party will rock!

 MW4 .. in progress 23:00
This project has been worked on in secrecy :) for quite a while, as well as being subject to serious changes, turmoil & hesitation. But finally I?m confident to "officially" announce it:

So, this will be the final part in the series. Featuring freedirectional scrolling with one row more than in Turricans :), PAL/NTSC compatibility, nice loadingsystem, total joystick-only control, and more.

Work in progress screenshot of Metal Warrior 4 As for the gameplay, I?m trying to create more options for the player instead of just having to rely on the trigger finger, inspired by Warren Spector?s masterpiece Deus Ex. We?ll see how that works out...

This project will be extensive; right now the game engine is progressing very nicely. The plan is to get the game finished before Matrix Reloaded premiere :) Ok..that?s a long time, but I thought it?s nice to let you C64 ppl know that something?s being worked on.

The announcement rant is also at the Covert BitOps site.

Any questions or comments? Mail them to me!

 GoatTracker tweak utility 20:37
Some :) have wished for this a quite long time. So, now it?s done. This is a utility to allow GoatTracker .SNG-file tweaking (in hexadecimal) on a C64. Note: SNG format only. You?ll have to use GoatTracker itself to pack & relocate, like before.

 Heavy Metal Deluxe V1.6 and TND is Back 17:11
Oh no, not again. There was a screen bug in the end sequence on HMD V1.5, I have now fixed this problem. It looks like another first release for the crackers eh? ;o) Sorry for all this trouble.

The New Dimension C64 Website is finally back with a new-look, and we?ve expand more as well. Which also means that there?s a larger selection of downloads and the regular features, fun zone, tutorials, etc.

You can download ?HMD V1.6? from the Games Download page, or visit The New Dimension right now!

 New Remember release, but... 8( 15:21
Ok, new REMEMBER releases are ready for spread. But if you want them, contact me and I’ll send them via email to you (around 650 kb, 1 zip). The reason why that way for this time is simple: I can’t make an update at Immortal Antiques because someone hacked our ftp-server and removed all our releases. But our ftp-server will move soon (NOT our homepage!), so I’ll make an update when it’s done! You can’t download ANY releases at the moment. Our releases for this time (2 disks / 4 sides) are... re-releases: Exploding Fist 2 (we released this before at Immortal Antiques) and Crystals of Zong (bugs removed). new releases: Space Harrier, Space Harrier 2, Terra Cognita, Cylu, Rollaround, Card Sharks, Alleykat, First Strike, Pac-Land, Law of the West, Turmoil and Encounter.
