Dear All
I am very happy to be with you again after a long hiatus. I've been seriously ill, almost gone in summer of 2023. Now, on to the topic. I had a conversation yesterday with legendary Clive Townsend. He said he wants to create SABOTEUR  3 for the CPC but because of obligations and the need to make a living he cannot be fully committed to the project. He said he can supply code, maps, graphics etc but he definitely will need help. The purpose of this project is to publish it and make some money to help him in his every day life. We had discussed this topic once again sometime ago but now is the time to realise it. Is there anyone or any group who wishes to come in contact with Clive and create Saboteur 3 for the CPC? Volunteers make a step forward ! ;)

Oh man hope you're better now, and welcome back! 

This sounds very intriguing, but I'm not sure why project would provide any meaningful amount of money...

Thank you. I have fully recovered. It was a nightmare. I agree with you, nevertheless he might have some ideas, maybe to port it to the ZX or the mobile phones. Still, he asked me to find people to assist him.

it's Saboteur SIO right? If it's that, the graphics cannot be used in mode 1 like the other episodes (CPC does not have a character mode with character attributes)

You may convert to mode 0 or downgrade colors that are already very confusing sometimes

Awesome news! IMHO Saboteur 3 should stick with Mode 1. The problem with previous chapters was not the gfx but the sluggishness. Just fix this.
M'enfin!

That worked so well with Crystal Kingdom Dizzy didn't it? Mode 0 doesn't always work (but when it does, it's a beautiful thing!)

I'd strongly agree here.
There's a lot to be said for consistency when it comes to games with several sequels in my honest opinion. And if it can be fixed, who's to say the first two games can't be reversed engineered.

And to paraphrase a very famous movie about a part man, part machine, all cop... "I'd buy that for several dollars!"
Currently playing on: 2xCPC464, 1xCPC6128, 1x464Plus, 1x6128Plus, 2xGX4000. M4 board, ZMem 1MB and still forever playing Bruce Lee.
No cheats, snapshots or emulation. I play my games as they're intended to be played. What about you?

Great. Thank you Abalore. Is there anyone else who wishes to get involved?

Best I can offer is play testing unfortunately. :(

QuoteIn August of last year, Clive Townsend released a remaster of Saboteur for Spectrum
This new Saboteur! for 48kb it has been optimized in its code, which has left space available for new graphics, greater speed and effects such as transparency in the water.
