To ease Moon Child porting and modding, our coder Reinier van Vliet has ported the Moon Child code to SDL, a popular cross platform library. The new version is live now. Some minor improvements will follow, but the source files are now easier to work with. bitbucket.org/rhinoid/moon...

Got to give credit to Starmer for owning up to mistakes, taking full responsibility, apologising & explaining everything clearly from start to finish. Tory PM’s would never do any of that, just brush everything under the carpet like it was nothing.

This would be an absolutely vile thing to do. We are so much better than this. Please don’t ever vote for Reform!

Preparing the 3D animations surrounding the game in the original 1997 CD-ROM version of #MoonChild. The original videos are only 320 x 240 pixels, and were heavily compressed. I tried to restore them a bit, but we'll also include the originals. I directed the videos, Ramon made the soundtrack.

Back in the mid-1990s, I made all Moon Child's graphics using DPaint on an Amiga, but I wasn't skilled in 3D creation yet. So I designed and printed a storyboard template, drew storyboards with pencil and directed 3D animators to realize cinematic videos that surround the game in the CD-ROM version.

In light of Starmer being open and transparent over the security clearance of Mandelson, only fair that Badenoch now releases the advice surrounding Lord Lebedev. We still don’t know why the son of a former KGB agent is in the House of Lords. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-poli...

In case you’re confused - the £100k of tax Richard Tice failed to pay here is totally different to the - £92k of tax not properly withheld on dividends - the £600k side-stepped via highly aggressive tax avoidance Industrial scale grifting revealed by @danneidle.bsky.social and Gabriel Pogrund

Boris Johnson failed vetting, yet Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary. Dominic Cummings was never vetted, yet had free access to Government and Number 10. The vetting process is self evidently farcical.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

In short Rayner had to resign due to concerted media & political pressure over a single stamp duty mistake. Millionaire Tice bankrolled his party through deliberate, dodgy, tax-avoiding corporate tricks and yet the media pressure is limited to a few outlets. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Boris Johnson FAILED vetting, yet became Foreign Secretary. Dominic Cummings was NEVER vetted, yet had constant access to Government offices and Number 10. Mandelson’s troubled career should have ruled him out of any new job. That is the mistake, nothing more. Quit trying to bring down Starmer.

NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK. First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.

Tice said: "Naturally I am always happy to put things right and if numbers need rechecking, of course I will pay what is owed - be that more or less." It's another big story from Gabriel Pogrund who also revealed last week that Tice's property company failed to pay £91,000 in tax before dividends.

He should 'put things right' by resigning. It's what he and Farage would be demanding of any high profile MP of any other party.
