|  Something in the works
Call me crazy, but I actually started to develop a new game for the Plus/4. Over the weekend and this afternoon I worked on it. The game logic is (mostly) there, it's actually playable. I was thinking about a preview... Or maybe I should finish it up (which is usually the hardest part) and release it.
It's a logical board game. Now what do y'all think about that?

Sounds cool already! How about adding your Drummix 3 tune as the intro/title music

| Surprise us! :)
Congratulations, bro! You're hitting the top 
Anyway... if you don't need any beta testers, then you'd better finish it off (although I must confess am very curious) and release it when it's 100%

| For the Plus/4, eh?
I guess this means you're not limiting yourself to the 12K available on the C16?
I have some ideas in my head for some games, but with the Gazette conversions and the GEOS already on my to-do list, I don't know when I'll find the time to write anything new.

| Size
James, I'm not limiting the size at all this time. It actually feels soo good not to be restricted... Besides the four 1K games I developed, what I worked on before was my C=16 demo compo entry, which has been in development for almost two years Too long for sure, and the compo seems to be dead anyway. It has been announced more than two years ago. I tried to bug Lavina, the organizer to do something with it but to no avail.
This game uses the multi-color graphics screen, so that would only leave me $1001-$17FF if I wanted to make it work for the C=16 also... So it's going to be a 64K release.
I know it's hard to find the time to do anything... I wonder about the Plussy scene a lot. I know that it's hard to get motivated because there are so few people left - so there won't be much of an audience for any demo or game.
But I guess some has to get the ball rolling

| Csabo -->
It's not the motivation for me, it's the time. My job only allows a quick peek into the Forum once in a while.... it's not like I'm in front of a computer all day and can flip from one screen to the next while I'm working.
And then when I get home after 7pm, there's dinner and then family time with the kids. IF (a big IF) I don't fall alseep before the kids do, sometimes the wife wants HER time with me. And then in the morning, the whole thing starts all over.
Every other weekend, I get about four hours to myself to work on the Plus/4 stuff. I know it doesn't seem like much to some of you who can use yours everyday..... but hey, it's better than nothing.
