Early days, but thanks to c64.com and in a recent interview ( www.c64.com?type=4&id=2), we are able to put up an entry about a game by Pagoda Software which was reported to be something very groundbreaking for its time, which sadly never quite made it.
Shortly after releasing Video Classics (Aka Blip!), Jason Daniels and Tom Lanigan got working on a new game called Autogard. According to both, the game was the most significant piece of work they did. It was the first time they tried to design and code a fully-fledged commericial game, and rather than starting with something relatively quick and easy - they threw themselves into the deep-end by spending a year and a half working on this groundbreaking game, unlike any other title seen on the C64.
Unfortunately this is all we know at present about the game, and we don't actually know what the game was comparable to or going to look like. However, the great news is that Jason and Tom both have dug out remains of the game, and plan to finish and release it possibly in 2010!.... Keep an eye on http://www.jasondaniels.co.uk for any screenshots or developments.
In the meantime, we'll try and get some more info and see if we can bring you some developments! :)
More soon we hope!
Frank.
