Remakes zone :: Old news

Our last update was a month and a half ago, so we have to say a collective "our fault" out loud.

CEZ has been growing progressively since its beginning, more than 7 years ago. We have had months with a lot of activity, some others with less, and that, obviously, affects the number and periodicity of the uploads. The main reason is our real life, which usually demands a lot of our time and preferences.

Even though, we are not dead, Don't even think about it : We are preparing some changes in the site to make everything easier and to let more information get to you (That's why we have stopped adding new game cards these last two years), we keep writing new games (stay tuned), and, most of all, we keep participating in the forums, where you will be able to see (although it doesn't seem at first sight) that we are doing a lot of stuff, preparing new surprises, and sharing opinions, memories and projects. So we invite you all to participate in our forums, where you can find really friendly and interesting people, who love the 8 and 16 bits computers.

In the forum you can see the last shots we've published about this CEZ RD superproduction.
The map is almost complete, and also the design.
Benway (coder) is now going to think about the enemies, while Lord Fred (graphics) continues drawing pure art.

We've released a new version of Sir Fred - El Remake, our most downloaded game (near 5000 downloads), with a 9,26 rating of more than 300 votes.

Clicking here you could take a look to the news that have been incorporated to this new version.

Like ever, we'll wait for your opinions at the forum (to write about this game is not necessary to be registered).

- Fixed problems with shadows and random hangs.
- Fixed memory leak.
- Increased the period within you can press the direction keys to swing in ropes.
- Fixed rope swinging: if you are not moving in a rope, Sir Fred will react instantly to keypresses.
- Changed the order in which "OPTIONS" and "PLAY" appear in the main menu. Now "PLAY" is set as the first option (selected by default).
- Fixed some spelling errors.
- Fixed the damage levels. Now the amount of damage is related to Sir Fred's actions i.e. if you fall from a higher level you get more damage.
- Clouds no longer blink.
- Added Anderson_JAG as betatester.
- Added Joystick support. No setup needed: if you have a joystick plugged in, you can use it.
- Save/Load games from the pause menu.

The game, after a brief time being developed in Jave, has return to C++. The screens editor is still in Java.

M.A Soft guys said us that they advance slowly, but it rest less time to finish the game. So, it will be a new remake soon! :wink:

You can find it, as ever, at the projects section.

At last !!!!!!!!! Sir Fred - The Remake has been released!

We were wishing it, what impatience! For a long long time, since Daniel Celemin (Lord Fred) wrote his first post about the project, since he opened his page. But it's not time for words :wink:... Yeah! It's the moment for doing a single thing: to play this masterpiece.

We are anxious to see your reaction, to read your impressions... Don't doubt to write whatever you think about the game in the thread we've opened in the forum. Enjoy it!!

The time is coming ... We are correcting even the smallest bugs to bring you the masterpiece you've been waiting for, keeping the original game created by [i]Made in Spain[/i] in a high quality level. (more...)

Finally we've finished it!! After a long time coding, making graphics, musics and testing (as you could view in the forum if you know spanish -sorry-), Columns is available for your 128k Spectrums (or for your favourite emulators).
We hope you'll enjoy so much playing this Amstrad CPC conversion as we enjoyed making it! :smile:

By the way, we announce you that in a near future we'll open an on-line shop, where you'll can buy the physical versions of our games.

[i]NOTA 17/10/05:[/i] new version available for download.

Finally, after a long and hard time working, the game coded by Daniel Celemin (LordFred) is on CEZ GS beta testers hands. They are working at 110% in order to make posible the release of one of the best remakes ever made (it's really amazing!).
