Nice. Is one of those a self portrait?
Thanks! Yes, they're all portrait's of real people. I'm the 2nd from left.

Be great if this was going to be ported to the Spectrum NEXT!!

Even better if it was ported to the ZX Spectrum itself!
I think I may have said already in here, it'd be aces if it was ported to both, but neither myself of Richard would be directly involved other than to provide any guidance if asked. I'd make my graphics available for a conversion, though I imagine they may have to be cut down slightly but I may be talking out my hole. As to who would produce a conversion, that's up to whoever wants to tackle it. I think Bob (Smith) has expressed an interest but only if nobody else has made a start to see if it can be done. Bob also mentioned that he thinks he could get it onto the Spectrum. Personally, I'd love it if Bob would do it.

It looks fabulous.
What platform will it run on?
It'll be on Windows and Android. There maybe be a chance for it to go on iOS but who knows and see my reply above regarding Spectrum/Next.

Just noticed the broad skirting to counter for the inset doors. Clever.
For something that seems so simple, I agonised over this. With some input from Richard, where he came to a decision regarding sizing, I then had to come up with something that I liked the look of. But, I went back to the original inlay art and there was the skirting RIGHT THERE!! I just made it chunkier.
There's still a long way to go. There's the planned gameplay extras to add and still tons of graphics to do - I mean hecking tons! - but I'm making my way through them steadily.
Although we're a long way off, we've also turned our thoughts to HUD. The scroll will probably stay in some form or other, just not as it is in the current WiPs and ripped from the original game. I've got a pretty good idea how I'd like it to look and I need to produce some mock-ups to see if it could work.
