Some more tweaks to the website

Finally got around to making a nice responsive banner.
Figured it would be useful to add links to the games in the news articles, so you don't need to flip back and forth.

We've moved to a new web host

There's a bit of a re-design going on as well, so bear with while I sort stuff out. Games are now on a dedicated page rather than showing them in the sidebar.
The old data driven PHP back-end has gone in favour of generating static HTML pages from a simplified PHP back-end, giving more freedom to create content. If you were linking to the old .php pages, you may want to update the links.

Our site has a new look

It's a new year so I've updated the site with a modern look and feel which should work well on your mobile. Considering the last design has been up since around 2009, it was long overdue. Also helped by the fact PHP 5 is now deprecated by our web host so I had to really :) Most of the screenshots were from the old website and a bit too low res for this one, but when I get some time I'll replace those and maybe add some zoomable ones.

Linux 64-bit version of Nevernoid now available

I've had a request for a 64-bit version of Nevernoid by the Slackware package maintainer. So I fired up the Free Pascal compiler and built one. Can't remember why I disabled the full screen option on the 32-bit version at the time but as it seemed to work for 64-bit, it's back on. Enjoy.

Fixed a map bug in Nevernoid

I was contacted by a player of Nevernoid asking how to complete level 36 "Watch the birdy". Well... err... it couldn't be completed. The eyes of the bird were surrounded by unbreakable blocks... sorry. You can download a new build or just the map as a data file.
