| Games galore - happy new year! | [posted by TMR on 31 Dec 2005] | | Not one, not two but a massive three games released at the same time! It's almost as good as the DFS sale, except we couldn't afford Martin Kemp for the adverts... First off is a port of Lunar Blitz for the C16 and it's sister machines, classic building demolishing action with lots of pretty colours and a new high score feature the original hasn't got (yet). Second and third out of the bag are actually the same game, except ported onto two different machines; Reaxion Plus/4 and Reaxion A8 are both conversions of the C64 version, Reaxion Extended and contain ninety nine levels of hardcore puzzling action. How's that for a new year treat and not a sign of Linda Barker - bonus! |
 | Getting a VIC around for Christmas | [posted by TMR on 24 Dec 2005] | | Time for a little prezzie from the white-bearded, red-suit-wearing Cosine massive during the commercial... erm, the festive season; ViColumn is a bit of a variant on the Sega classic Columns that runs on an unexpanded VIC 20 and even manages to cram a full soundtrack in as well! Look out for more releases in 2006, some of the ongoing projects will get finished. |
| Road works ahead | [posted by TMR on 29 Nov 2005] | The Cosine.org.uk domain is, fingers crossed, about to move; during this transition there are likely to be some outages and afterwards www.tmr.cosine.org.uk will have changed to Cosine.org.uk/TMR so please bookmark that address. Our apologies in advance for any inconvenience, but this relocation has been on the cards for a while and it really needs doing.
Update: The migration has now been completed and, if you're seeing this revised news item, everything should be functioning normally again! |
| Incoming!! | [posted by TMR on 01 Oct 2005] | | Oh goodness, two days and we've gained two members! For reasons best known to himself, the delightful Fungus has decided to move in and make himself at home despite T.M.R insulting him on regular occasions. We'd like to welcome him to the ranks (if that's the right word) although it's quite difficult to do whilst we're hiding all the decent silverware and the DVD player at the same time as trying to double the contents insurance...! |
| Mooooo! | [posted by TMR on 30 Sep 2005] | | Two additions at the same time, first off we've got to welcome a new member to the fold; anyone who knows their scene history'll already know who Bizzmo is but, for anyone who isn't aware or was living in a commune in Outer Mongolia during the 1980s, have a look at his first production for Cosine and you'll see where the stellar reputation came from; Melissa is a multicolour bitmap picture and, in the grand tradition of these things, it's a picture of a scantily clad female. Sorted! |
| Engineering works - please wear safety headwear at all times! | [posted by TMR on 01 Feb 2005] | Yes, it's a new year and time for a new look Cosine website; everything has been dismantled, moved over to T.M.R's own web server and then rebuilt in PHP in order to make maintaining everything easier. In the process, the site has been totally redesigned and the layout now uses the Pepto palette for that "authentic" C64 look. Similarly, all the C64 screens have been re-grabbed using the same palette, which makes them a lot closer to how they were originally intended to look.
There's a few new additions to the files area, Astro Nell is a cute platformer for the unexpanded VIC20 done completely by 4-Mat and, as with the last redesign of the site, there is a sparkly new hot-off-the-assembler Cosine release to go out alongside the re-launched outfit; Radiant is a fun little dentro for the Plus/4, featuring music by 4-Mat and code and graphics work by T.M.R |
| Some loose ends to sort | [posted by TMR on 06 Sep 2004] | | First off the big (and somewhat late) news is that 4-Mat is no longer a member of Cosine; Matt decided that he wanted to explore new avenues and that, with his very busy work schedule he couldn't devote enough time to the group. We'd all like to wish him the best with everything and say that the door is always open should he feel like returning to the fold. As a farewell, he's sent a revised version of his last product for Cosine - Bah! Bah! on the VIC has been modified to correct a small error that only occurs in WinVICE and not on the real hardware, because we're that thorough! |
| Forever 5 releases | [posted by TMR on 23 Mar 2004] | | Time for another triple release to kick start 2004, all for the Forever 5 party in Slovakia; 1K Party is a quick plasma effect for the Atari 8bit 1K intro competition, Shattered is a one-parter entered into the C64 demo competition and Bah! Bah! is for the VIC20 and was sent along to compete in the wild competition. |
