Mountain Panic has been in development now about a year (off and on), so to commemorate its birthday I thought I'd share an early screenshot!

Here's the initial version with (shock,horror) some programmer graphics:

And a more modern version:

Looking good as ever. How is it progressing?

Slowly :(

Although I really enjoy working on it I simply don't get the time to work on it as much as I'd like. The frustrating thing is it'd probably only take me about a fortnight to finish off if I was working 9-5 on it.

So more of an enjoyable stroll than a sprint really :)

It's always extremely impressing that people can find time to do enough to get something looking this good when working 9-5. In the past I've found that 2-3hr sessions minimum are needed to do anything substantial!

I know the feeling. I have to admire anybody who can create instead of just dissecting. It's looking very professional, better than a lot of the games that were released originally! Keep up the good work!

Without a shadow of a doubt! This is looking top-notch! :)

I've just had my first play on the demo and love it! The rope is just genius. The only game I remember playing on the beeb that gave that level of control over the playing environment was Imogen - I remember growing a plant to climb to a higher platform. Can't wait to see where this one goes!

Thanks guys for all the positive feedback. The entire game is actually planned out, it's just finding the time (and memory) to implement it all :)

If I do another BBC game after Panic I dare say it won't be an arcade adventure :)

Was very impressed with it ( again :) ) after playing at Byte-Back, great work Dave :)
