The Grand Mage

Posted on by

 

In the ancient and magical land of Nellad, the righteous Sacred Practice has ruled for many years. The Evil Brotherhood now threatens that order, and only you, The Grand Mage, can protect the world from evil.

My only completed Megazeux game (I was also working on a comedy game called Blow Up Stuff and a real-time strategy game), this fantasy platformer uses the Jumper engine by XR3. It’s short and it’s pretty simple.

This is set in the same world as my first 24 Hours of ZZT game Night Conjure.

The Punctuation People

In this platformer, Paul Paragraph is on a quest to rescue the punctuation people (that is, people who are various punctuation marks) from the Evil Copy Editor.

Upon encountering a few “jumping” engines in ZZT demo files, I immediately became obsessed with creating a Super Mario Bros.-like game in ZZT. Most of the enemies are patterned after classic Mario enemies, and the player can collect coins.

This was the first ZZT game I released that received much positive feedback from the ZZT community. Most of my subsequent games would also be engine games.
