Where am I?
Plans for 2017
Last year was pretty good, mainly since I managed to finally release the E.T. remake after 8 years of on/off development. There are still some bugs and bits to be added but it is playable.
This year I'm working on a new PC game called Annihilator – a scrolling shoot 'em up with parallax scrolling. I am also working through the Mega Drive programming tutorials using 68k assembler. I was hoping to release a quick Christmas game for the Mega Drive, but I didn't finish the tutorials as I had some problems getting the code to run properly.

Other projects I'd like to do this year are:
- finish off the ZX Spectrum game (Bob the Space Janitor) and iron out the bugs
- start work on a quick Vectrex game
- make a quick Mega Drive game
- start learning Amiga assembler (after the Mega Drive project, this should be a little easier)
Whether I finish Annihilator this year remains to be seen but I don't want to spend 8 years on/off doing it. Personally I can't see that happening and I recon maybe 2 years at the most. But we'll see where I am around Summertime.
