Leonis: I'm glad you like the game... ;)

You can play it right here on our website:

Thanks.

I'm curious ;)

I'm currently working on a demo for a demoparty in Poland, and it doesn't work well on almost any emulator ;)

Thanks :)

Sorry, I forgot. The AI helped me with the graphics, but I ended up drawing everything by hand anyway... I don't think you'd want to see the game with the original design... ;)

Thanks for the kind words ;) It does seem a bit like the forum mainly promotes games by "legendary" developers, and some of those "legends" take issue with the popularity of other games (God forbid, games that are free)—because, after all, they’re legends and make the best games... Right? That’s why we need to push these people to the forefront, no matter what it takes...

I don’t want to deal with this anymore; it’s toxic, and I don’t want to deal with toxic stuff. Let them pat each other on the back about how great they are… I’ll just keep programming what I enjoy and couldn’t care less about some higher-up interests.

Thank you so much, you put it perfectly... protecting elitist programmers and commercializing this platform will never help anyone....

Thanks :)

I have to say that I am genuinely disappointed by the way this whole situation has been handled.

I could have accepted the deletion of my post if there had been a reasonable explanation for it. What bothers me far more, however, is that the person who deleted it never even attempted to explain their decision. This is despite the fact that, in my opinion, the issue sparked quite a lively discussion among other members of the group.

Instead of open communication, I get the impression that the administrators would rather sweep the whole matter under the carpet and pretend nothing happened. I find that approach disappointing and, frankly, rather pathetic.

I have been dedicating my free time to developing software for this amazing computer for many years. I do it primarily because I enjoy it and because I want to contribute to the growth of the community. I also supported the latest KS3 Kickstarter campaign because I believe in the ZX Spectrum Next project and care about its future.

That makes it all the more frustrating to be treated as though I were someone whose very presence in the community is somehow unwelcome.

I am also increasingly getting the impression that the administrators are determined to protect certain "old-school" coders or established "legends" at all costs, even if that comes at the expense of other people who are actively creating software for this platform.

In my opinion, a community should be built on mutual respect, not on who has the biggest reputation or who has been around the longest.

I value my time. The countless hours I spend developing, testing, and improving my projects could easily be spent doing something else. So if anyone thinks I am going to continue investing my time and energy in a Facebook group where I feel that neither my work nor my contribution is appreciated, they are mistaken.

Fortunately, there are other ways to showcase my work, share it with others, and communicate with people who are genuinely interested in what I create.

I still love the ZX Spectrum Next, and I certainly have no intention of stopping development for it. I simply no longer feel the need to be part of an environment where silence and double standards seem to matter more than respect and open communication.

Hi, download the latest version—this bug has been fixed.

Thanks

Hi, from version 1.7 I will only maintain the Dot version. I will fix the documentation today, I forgot about it. Sorry.

Maintaining two separate versions would be very demanding, especially if they were functionally identical. From a practical point of view, instead of uploading the Basic program CC.BAS, you just need to enter the command .cc. 

Hi, I'll look into it. I hadn't thought of that combination...

By the way, I posted a second article about Flashback for the ZX Spectrum Next... ;)

https://mb-maniax.cz/2026/10/07/flashback-na-zx-spectrum-next-2-dil/

Both games are for the ZX Spectrum Next with 2MB of memory... do you happen to have the 1MB version of the Next?

Thanks for your kind words ;)

😁

Nicely written... I'm starting to get addicted to this weekly :)

Thanks ;)

I’ve explained this many times before: I’ve been developing these games and programmes for quite some time and work on them in parallel. And it just so happens that I finish them around the same time....

Thanks

Thanks

It’s not public yet… once I’ve tidied up the code, I’ll publish it on GitHub…

Thanks a lot :)

Let me know how you did in the game :)

I thank you ;)

The music is being prepared and will be different, atmospheric and I won't forget this part :)

Thanks ;)

I’m sorry I’ve ruined your plans... 

It’s a nice game, though, and I hope this version will be just as enjoyable to play ;)

Thanks :)

Thanks :)

Sleep is overrated ;) But of course I do sleep... all these projects are things I’ve been working on for quite some time, and it’s just a coincidence that I finished them around the same time... I tend to work on several things at once.

Yes, the data is compressed. I needed to sort out the map restoration when replaying the game (in earlier versions, the landscape was damaged from previous battles).

I’ve just uploaded a much better version – with improved sound effects and a few bugs fixed...

So I’ve uploaded everything again… it should be fine now.

Corrected, sorry ... ;)

Certainly, I’ve just used the original data from the open-source game Warmux… but I’ll give it some thought and try to add it there…

Thanks :)

Would you like to check out another game of mine for the ZX Spectrum Next?

Pixel Wheel – an arcade racing game with guns ;)
