PROCESSING

<BODY> How long until we get this latest version? “I’m looking to release it by the end of this (reviewed in issue 237) which took 18 months. If all goes to plan this will be six months of work,” we’re told. How closely is it based on the PC original? “The screens and graphics are based on the original release which was open-sourced, with player movement similar to the later revision. A major feature is a brand-new extra campaign of 23 of my own designed screens.” UltraNarwhal is also a big supporter of the Scorpion Engine. “I only use the Scorpion Engine as it offers the best performance for the lower spec Amiga users. To make the game’s graphics I use GIMP or Grafx2, sound effects are created using LabChirp, game levels are built using Tiled and all running under Windows.” Look out for a review in a later issue. </BODY>
