`16.Apr.2000` Andreas Hippauf by e-mail	New Lightforce version released As I promised, the new Menu system has been "finished" on Sunday. There aren't that much functions yet aside from Start and End, but you can get a first impression of how it will look like. The archive is available at the Lightforce site as lha archive in three versions: full archive, program files only, graphic files only. A word on the (bad) graphics: I urgently need an artist taking over this part. Everybody is free to modify the graphics files (png format) and send in his version. I will provide these versions as archives on the Lightforce download site. (Translation: mb) [News message: 16. Apr. 2000, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`14.Apr.2000` Dennis "Hurrican" Pauler in ANF	Virtual Dimension status report After months finally an update. First of all: Many thanks for the incredibly positive feedback regarding our fair video. As it was such a success, we will of course make videos again in future - just stop by ever now and then. After so many months you will certainly ask what's up with Cybermove, our Sokoban clone with extras, several music tracks, etc. Have a look at the picture here! :-) In plain language: we had a little harddisk crash and lost all source codes of the last half year (Backup - how do you spell that?). The Cybermove project thus is frozen for the time being, but we already work on something new. What that is? That'll be revealed sometime soon... ;-) (Translation: mb) [News message: 14.
