WiL has finished his game "Voyage of Four". He is currently looking for beta-testers. If you are interested in testing this really neat game, e-mail him at w.wil@excite.com. On another note, King's Quest ZZT 2 is done and will be released within a few days. Whee!

Hydra informed that King's Quest ZZT 2 File 3 (which is the last file) is almost done. I'll be handling the beta-testing for him (whenever it's done, which is soon, hopefully), so I'm in need of a few good beta-testers. Interested? Mail me at s_pieterse@hotmail.com. Thanks.

It's been a long time no update (well, at least for this section of the IF page). Apologies for that. Well, Deceiving Guidance (the joint-project of me and Hydra) has progressed well lately. About 35 boards are done and the first file is complete (with the exception of one puzzle). The second file will contain another 25-30 boards. The atmospheric RPG with action/dugeon-crawling elements (that's what it basically is ^_^) will hopefully be complete near the end of this year. It kind of depends on the university schedules of me and Hydra. My other joint-project, North (together with FreeZerBurn), hasn't progressed much lately, but it *will* be finished. We've doing some work on Death Gate lately, as well, and I'm aiming for a release somewhere in Fall or the early Winter. Other products you can expect from IF in the near future are N.E.O. (by Chase Bramlage) and King's Quest ZZT 2 (by Hydra and MeBo). KQZZT 2 has progressed slowly, but steadily over the past month. The first two files have been beta-tested and the third file is almost done. I can tell you that it's going to be a very, very enjoyable, happy ZZT adventure! :D

I'm back from my trip to Hydra (my cousin). King's Quest ZZT 2 files 1 and 2 have been sent to the testers. File 3 isn't done yet. Due to a few problems (MeBo going on a holiday and Hydra not having internet access at home), the final version of KQZZT 2 will probably be released somewhere in August. Also, Hydra and I worked on our ZZT game, Deceiving Guidance, which is coming along nicely. The birthday will be released next week. I'm just waiting for Ethan Hunt's submission, which should be in soon. Sorry for the extreme delay...

You may all wonder what ever happened to the IF 4th Birthday World. Well, IF's 4th birthday was on June 2... quite a while ago. I had to delay it because I was waiting for a few submissions. Right now, it seems that Robert Pragt is the only one who is still going to submit. He has his submission ready, but had problems sending it to me. As soon as he gets back to me, the birthday world will be released, since everything else is done (actually, that was done on June 6 or something already). Another note: Hydra told me that King's Quest ZZT 2 is nearing the stages of completion very soon, if work goes well.

Hey guys. It's been a while since this section has been updated. Me and FreeZerBurn started work on a new ZZT game called "North". Some info is up at the upcoming titles page. All I will say about it here is that it will be a different game. I've finished the introduction of Deceiving Guidance, the game of me and Hydra, too. Almighty Cow told me that he almost has a new, small MegaZeux game done. We'll hear more about this soon, I think.

Hydra and I have started our new ZZT game. It's called "Deceiving Guidance" and will be an RPG that focuses on the plot (full of twists, action, suspense and more), but will also have some action elements. Hydra and I are working on the plot and we've finished the title screen and main menu. After our exams, Hydra and I will work more on this game. Note that Hydra will be finishing King's Quest ZZT 2 first, before starting on this game. More info on this game can be found here.

My almost 24hozzt game "food for thought" is going slow. But I'm still working on it. PQZZT is still in the same state as it was a month or so ago. Can't wait to see what Herc and Hydra's game will be like.. Freeze: I need to get a new picture of my persona done. I'll send sometime early may.

Hey everybody! Hydra here. You're probably thinking: Where's King's Quest 2? Well, I'm sorry to say, but it isn't finished yet. The reason for this is that I had expected it to be much smaller than it is going to be now. I'm now almost done with the second world (there will be three), and the game is about 550k already. It will probably be done somewhere near the beginning of the summer holiodays, or earlier (I hope). If you want to beta-test, send an e-mail to hydra78@hotmail.com

I have been having trouble with my project Abandon Fate, it isn't going anywhere, and I think I may drop it for another game, Dark Metropolis. I have a good Idea what I want to do with it. But anyway, ZZT Yearbook is coming along great, altho, the IF members need to send in thier pics. ^_^. And finally I want to say a Goodbye to Dragonlord which has been a great help to me in the past. Thanks dragon and goodbye. That's pretty much all for now. Ciao -Freezer

In the future, you will find messages from IF members here. Right now, it seems that Hydra and I will be starting on a new ZZT game this summer. More news to follow on this later.
