New Cascade Website finished
Author: Zeldin - written on 05.10.2008
Puhh... being back from Greece in the beginning of October, I finally felt driven on enough to finish this new Cascade website, which was slowly getting rotten as alpha in my projects folder (it's beta now ;-). Meeting all those old friends in Hellas after such a long time, besides seeing the famous Antikythera mechanism from eye to eye, gave me a lot of new energy, which I wanted to invest before it fades again...
To this website:
Well after I stopped uploading old stuff to csdb last year (read below why), I started concentrating (besides other things, of course) on a new Cascade website as the old site was apr. 7 years old and really antiquated. I wanted a dynamic content system, the possibility of an easier site administration and a little blog-like system, just to spit out my thoughts from time to time, whenever I feel to do so. Furthermore I wanted to integrate my personal demo and game databases into an easier webdesign, therefore the new layout was made with .css (well most of it at least). So I recoded the whole site from scratch. All in all it took quite long to finish the code, because real life leached most of my energy. But now it's finished and I hope you all like this...
Some words to csdb:
As I said I stopped uploading stuff to csdb, although I still sit on tons of missing old cracks. The reasons for this is that my motivation for supporting csdb sadly was killed, after some ppl started to spam the database for unknown reasons. Maybe those guys suffer of heavy image neurosis, being keen on upload credits in the csdb stats, I don't know... but now there are many, many "scene releases" in csdb that are either not scene related or no releases by definition or worse, even both! Some entries are totally senseless, others were only done to have some bytes for upload to csdb. It's so weird!
And not to mention all the double-entries because some ppl are not willing to check properly. So the amount of 67.000 "scene releases" in csdb is definitely artificially elevated, spoiling this cool web resource :-(
Hopefully someday things get better, or I simply regain motivation to support csdb more than just keeping track on the Cascade entry... we'll see...

15.11.2026 - C64 game 'Emberwing' released
'Emberwing' is a brand-new vertical shooter for the Commodore 64: ten lands, ten bosses, one last ship. The comet Vael broke over Tessar. Its shards fell on ten lands, and from each grew a hive of living machines, a queen above each one. The air fleet fell in one night. One ship is left: the Emberwing. Fly north. Burn every hive. Try before you buy: the demo (the first two lands, in the browser or as a cartridge), the manual and the illustrated story book are free. The full game can be obtained as digital download for a fair price to support the developer.

15.11.2026 - C64 game 'Castaway' released - free for download
'Castaway' is a survival adventure for the C64. Your seaplane's engine coughed, spluttered... and died. You glided down onto the beach of a tiny island. You're alive, but nobody knows where you are. A ship will pass this island one day, somewhere between day 5 and day 14. You just don't know when. Keep yourself fed, watered and rested, ride out the storms, and have a signal ready on the hilltop when that ship finally appears on the horizon.

'Dead Coast' is a squad role-playing game for the C64, playing in a post-apocalyptic Florida of swamps, scrub and drowned towns. Sixty years on, the sea has the coast, and the reactor still runs.
