Alternate Reality X - Release 0.70 - Now Available

Alternate Reality 0.70 is here and available for download from www.crpgdev.com. It includes some new Dungeon features and several pieces of great new encounter art from Ted. There are also some additional pieces of art from the unreleased Amiga version of the Dungeon.

A Mac OS X version will be available in the next few days which I'm excited about. It's looking pretty good so far and is a big step for Alternate Reality X. I'm really enjoying working on ARX just now so I would expect to have another fairly rapid release not long after this one, hopefully fixing some of the issues which annoy me such as problems with the different screen resolutions not looking good, fonts and text covering up Ted's artwork! If you would like to support development of ARX then please consider making a small donation via Paypal using the link. Thanks.

Alternate Reality X - Release 0.70 - Coming Soon

If you follow the Alternate Reality X Facebook page at:

then you will have seen that I've been pretty busy recently working on a Mac OS X port of ARX and putting together release 0.70 for a February 2014 release. It's long overdue but it seems like people are still behind the project which is great. I'm using the Facebook page more as it seems to reach lots of people and it's quick and easy for me to post on it. I will still be using the blog here for much longer posts though so keep watching.

In addition I've been looking into the options for Android and iOS ports. Android I've already had some minor success with but iOS will require the paying the annual $99 Apple Developer Programme sign up fee. This is required even to test on your own device. Anyway well worth doing and would allow me to make submissions to Apple for including ARX on the App Store! I think they are pretty tough in their requirements from what I've read but something exciting to aim for.
