    As I mentioned in my last post, the Battlelore vassal module v3.1 is now live. Get it from the Vassal website.

    And for those that have been eagerly waiting for my Space Crusade PC game, wait no longer! Get it from my computer game page now! From something that I hadn't touched in about 3 years to getting it out the door in a few months, I'm pretty happy with the results and I'm sure you will be too.

    My next course of action is to take a slight break and get back to finishing off my HeroQuest game. This one will take a while longer to update as it basically needs to be rewritten from scratch, but we'll see how we go. Take care and keep playing!

    Wow! A year since I last updated this site. Time flies when you're busy. Just a heads up to anyone who may be reading this is that I now have some time to start working on my hobbies again.

    I've recently completed an update to the Battlelore vassal module that is soon to be released. It is currently undergoing testing with some players and should be released shortly.

    I've also gotten back to working on my Space Crusade PC game. Currently, I have created a new mission editor that will allow players to create their own SC missions and share them with others. Now I just need to get the main game to accept these user-created missions so that they can be played. ;)

    And last of all, there are some updates to the HQ vassal module that will allow users to have more variety in the types of quests they can play online.

    Thanks for checking out this site and hopefully you'll see some more action heading out this way.

    Fixed some BM bugs. Added a new download showing an example of a campaign system.


  • 03 April 11

    BM campaign games are now possible. Create branching storylines in the vein of Wing Commander with winning and losing paths.


  • 16 February 11

    The basic AI for the BM game is complete. No longer do you need to play with yourself.


  • 12 February 11

    The AI for the BM game is almost complete. I should be releasing it in about a weeks time.

    First BM demo is out! Go download it from the computer games page.


  • 26 January 11

    BM editor has been completed, again! Now to start work on the campaign editor and deployment of units at the start of a battle. And possibly add some new terrain features.


  • 15 January 11

    First update for the year. Plenty of finetuning work being conducted on my BM PC game. Solved a few niggling problems but I'm happy to say that all the units work perfectly and all the terrain features act as they should. Now I just need to finish off the editor so you can make your own levels.


  • 28 December 10

    Wow! Long time, no update. Battle Masters Vassal mod version 0.8 has been released! A lot more automation has been added, check out the instructions for details. The BM PC game is on the verge of release. Space Crusade has had a lot of work done to it, there is a topdown version mostly working although I'm still waiting for my artist to finish his sprites for the isometric version.


  • 05 September 09

    Battle Masters Vassal mod version 0.7 completed! Added back in individual die rolls. Also stopped players from placing units & cards in the wrong windows.


  • 02 September 09

    Battle Masters Vassal mod version 0.6 completed! New icons and more streamlined gameplay on offer.


  • 11 August 09

    Scenario editor for Battle Masters has been rewritten to allow easier editing. Work on Space Crusade has halted as the dedicated graphic artist had a computer crash and is having trouble getting his Space Crusade files back. Meanwhile, a new patch is out for HeroQuest that fixes a number of outstanding bugs as well as some optimisations to the code.


  • 18 March 09

    Scenario editor for Battle Masters is completed. Restarted work on Space Crusade as I now have a dedicated graphic artist helping out. And it's back to isometric view which of course means all the changes I made last time have to be reversed. Such is the price of progress.


  • 18 April 08

    Almost completed work on the Scenario editor for Battle Masters. Started work on the Mission editor for Space Crusade. And finally started work on the Ogre Horde expansion to HeroQuest.


  • 22 October 07

    The Witch Lord expansion pack for my HQ game is finished! Get it now at the My computer games page.


  • 10 October 07

    I've updated the Battle Masters Vassal module to 0.5. It now contains the correct number of movement cards in the movement deck.


  • 1 October 07

    Thought I'd better start updating this page again. Started work on the Witch Lord expansion for HQ. Got all the levels done and just working on the finer programming details. Space Crusade has changed from a top down game to an isometric view similar to HQ. This has resulted in some delays as I change all the code to iso mode. Battle Masters is progressing well and should be completed soonish. There isn't any AI at the moment but it will be added.


  • 11 March 07

    Finally released HQ with the KK expansion pack.


  • 9 November 06

    I've roped in some beta testers to test my HQ game. Also continuing work on Space Crusade. I have now started making a Battle Masters computer game as well. So many projects, so little time.


  • 30 October 06

    HeroQuest main game quests have all been updated to the new graphics format. Now starting on the Kellars Keep quests. I'm continuing to do more playtesting and trying to get rid of all the bugs. I've decided to start version numbering my games. The next release of HQ will be 0.1 as this is a new beginning.


  • 12 October 06

    Space Crusade computer game intro complete. Also redoing all graphics on HQ isometric game. And finally, updating HQ Vassal module to add more functionality as well as more quest tiles.
