Sadly not, I've not heard anything else about astro galaxy. I dropped the
devs another mail but they didn't get back to me which is a shame sinse only
navigating in the game is a problem, (rather like starbase orion and Star
traders, accept it just needs some labled images).
I'm not actually beata testing in the formal sense, it's rather someone
posted a beta on audiogames.net which I'm trying out, another attempt at a
roguelike with a standard if type interface ala Kerkerkruip, disconcertingly
called choose your own cave (even though it's nothing like a gamebook).
There is a topic in the new releases room about it on audiogames.net.
Indeed, lots of people are posting betas and games under development there
so, from the latest version of the braillemon audio pokemon game, to some
bgt arcade projects, to some japanese type stuff, if anyone wants to try
stuff out that is the place to go.
Beware the grue!

Hi Lindsay.
People are still making games for windows, especially many of the
people
like Spoonbil, Aprone and Gma who always have, plus there are things like
interactive fiction, browser games, muds, text rpgs and the like (I was
beta
testing a text rpg game for windows just the other day).
That is aside from the japanese games, though etting those to run is
something of a process and not something I've attempted as yet myself.
I don't actually think less developement is happening on windows, it's
just
that such a lot is going on on the Iphone there is considderable amount of
news and discussion about the subject, so the windows side of things
seems
less than it is.
it is also the case that with access easier to implement on the Iphone,
more
new developers are coming to write for it than new devs for windows,
which
is just a consequence of the technology, and obviously a very good one if
you have an Iphone.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
