I am announcing that I will make another version of Source-Seekers once I have all of the game information. I plan for it to also be cross-compatible with the 84+ and +C (not sure about the regular 83, though). I already have the text engine done.

There is also a download for my test program. It displays "THE QUICK BROWN FOX, JUMPED OVER THE LAZY DOG." And it should also work on the +C.

When I know everything that's going into the game, I'll get to levels and stuff.

So are you working as a team with 123outerme for your version or are you just making your own project?

We're working on a team, but he's also making his own version, to both test out his copying skills (without source code) and to get inspiration for optimization, etcetera.

^^ That
Plus, I thought the levels would be better as lists if a level editor were ever made. That's what I use: Lists with 14-digit numbers.

So far, I have level 1 functioning. My level interpreter supports the player spawn point, and the collectible spawn point, and even has an optional argument for a background of = signs (for the bridge level later). I'm now working on items and enemies.

I won't announce anything more to you until I'm finished.

This game's production is going very smoothly, with little lasting bugs!
Anyway, added some stuff to the Developer Blog section on the original post. If you're interested in the game, you should check that out.

Some progress has been made (sorry I was out so long, I had to go to a wedding on my birthday in North Carolina).

I added a new poll asking about your preferred timing of release. If you choose "Now", you'll have to wait less but the experience won't be as full if you don't have the final fight availible right away.
If you choose "When You're Done", you'll have to wait longer but the experience will be refreshing and will be better than releasing it immediately.

Remember: this is your project. Do what you think is best. If you want to release it now, then do it. Nobody's stopping you from releasing it now and later, or never. You're not selling something. You're practicing a hobby. Have fun. If you are, then cool. If the polls and extra stuff starts to make it less fun, though, stop. Reconsider what you're doing and why.

Anyhow, this is looking nice. Great work!

If I may say so, this is the most awesome first major project I've seen in a while. Even though some people still have doubts about the CSE and Basic in general, I think that this project proves a lot of that wrong. When you upload the final version to ticalc, be sure to ask for a feature. I think this will deserve one.
