Hi all,

Sorry for the late reply but been very busy as Im doing some work for a retro-game from the Amiga days called Darkmere. Im (hoping!) to be working with the original artist on it, and we are going to be sticking to the original Darkmere 2 storyline.....not like Dragonstone was.  But I will post some screens and WIPs on this board as it progresses. ;D


Please do! Darkmere had such an awesome atmosphere! Too bad it came out so late, when Amiga was already dying out.

Dont worry JJ Naas, I will post screens and also see if I can post a working demo of it. That should not be a problem, and this game will be the TRUE Darkmere 2 and not what Dragonstone turned out to be.  Its been a long time coming imho, but if we can pull it off we will m8 ;-)

Iceman I'm really keen to find out more about the Darkmere 2 project.

Mark Jones' work in Darkmere is something I've always loved.

Do you know what platform etc. you'll be building for?

Neat. Mark Jones actually posted on the Pixel Academy(a sister pixel forum that is no longer active) a couple years back. I always wondered what happened to him. I figured he probably got lost because there were a bunch of pixel boards starting up and shutting down at the time.

In progress screen dumps would be awesome.

Your probably right on that, tho I know Mark has been working on several projects of late which kind of keeps him busy. I will be posting Screen shots and also mock-ups as the game goes on, but I wont be posting in this thread of cause.  I will make a new thread just as soon as I find out where to put it! lol

Well I can tell you lots more, but as I posted above, its gonna be in a new thread.  As for what platform, well PC is first, but I am also in touch with ppl who want to convert the code to work on the old (and new?!?!) Amiga.  IF (and thats a BIG IF) things go as planned, then it may be sold commercially just like the remakes of  King's Quest have been. I am in talks with 3 game firms and I will be able to tell you more on any other commercial platforms as and when I find out.
