This is a great project! And it's great that you have Sanchez in your team. I know him, maybe not very personally but we exchanged
a few emails. And I can confirm that he is a very productive, prolific, hard working, friendly man who does some mega projects from
the start to the end in reasonable time where others would take years and in the end abandon the work.

You mention some team member leaving the project but it's not Sanchez as I understand now, right?

Some more quick questions:

- when do you expect to finish the project?

- is the game design ready? Please tell us more about it? Will there be bosses, inventory, dialogues with NPC?
Did I get it right from video that the action will be happening in Russia/Soviet Union?

- how many levels do you plan? Will all levels be some industrial factory like in the video or do you plan other
type of levels too (city, forest, flying mega airplane :0 whatever)

Best luck with your project. I'll be watching it!
Thanks ! So, I'm answering to your questions :
1. We don't know when we finish it, but we work every day on it.
2. Yes, game design is ready. .There will be bosses, NPC etc. also there will be two playable characters.
3 There won't be dialogues with NPC. There will be rechargable iron suit and power-ups.
4.No, the action won't be happening in Russia :) it will be happening in a distant future.
5 there will be 6 levels. 3 levels will be in industrial places, one in the office building, and another one in a bio laboratory. Also there will be a racing level.
6. No, Sanchez didn't leave our team :)

The Next version looks like a 16bit sprite on a Spectrum ULAplus background, are the background graphics an intentional way of keeping the Spectrum's spirit?

Maybe you forgot about this thread but it seems that the work is progressing.

Some screenshot appeared on Facebook today:

At first glance doesn't seem much improvent over the earlier video in this thread but if you look closer it seems that the game got enemies. Or whatever is this thing at the right. At the video it's hero walking around empty land.

I'll be personally waiting for more news.

This looks amazing. Looks like a brilliant cross between Robocop and Midnight Resistance.

It seems that we are going to have not only platformer style levels but also some racing level. And it looks top quality, just as the rest of the game :)

Check the link, there also a video there.
I guess it's going to be some kind of megagame. It needs time to develop but we can see that the things are progressing.

Oh wow. That looks proper special. It looks like Aliens: Neoplasma was *merely* a test of the engine!

In Castlevania at least it can be turned off. In the tape version, try:

POKE 41413, 201
POKE 41491, 201
POKE 41569, 201
POKE 41681, 201

EDIT: The scroll can be turned off in Aliens: Neoplasma as well. For the tape version, non-TurboSound:

POKE 36004, 195
POKE 36005, 17
POKE 36006, 142
