Current Projects
| Project | Status |
|---|---|
| WOODS.WLD editor | New Windows version is practically finished, though the interface remains nightmarish for the time being. |
| BSA utilities | BSA creation utility is working, but not exactly user-friendly. |
| VID creation utilities | The frame compression routines have been reimplemented in Free Pascal, removing the limitations imposed by QuickBasic. An early prototype of MakeVID has already been created, though the current version requires audio blocks to be inserted by hand. |
| Town Editor | Near completion, but on hold until I have enough info to make it work with the game. |
