Ok, about time I posted some updates on my work.

Currently working on 6 projects -

> Gary Linekers Superstar soccer (remake of C64 game).

> Durban Indoor Soccer

> Badger Golf

> Full Blown Firefight

> Sniper Frogs

> Dictator



The others are coming along in dribs and drabs, however I have started on Dictator.

The game is a pseudo remake of a 1983 DKTronics ZX spectrum game where you are the Dictator of a small republic country. The idea is you have to keep the peace with the secret police, workers, landowners, Army and the Leftotans.

The more you upset a group the more likely they are to start a revolution, or assasinate you.

The game itself was text based, pretty simple but I personally found it lots of fun (been playing it a lot on a Speccy emu on my Jornada lately!)

Anyway I decided to have a crack at making Dictator 2002. It will be more graphical (mouse driven main menu etc) whilst attempting to retain the humour and playability of the original.

To start off I will be adding only a few extras, however if people can think of improvements let me know.

Oh and as well as the leftotans there will be another nation to keep the peace with :)

Screenshots should be available shortly on my website (will update here when they are available, gimme a couple of days!)

And hopefully the first beta will be out in the next few weeks.

As for all the other work above, its all on hold :)
