We have released our Bindump Import/Export Suite of TileMax plugins, along with a map manipulation tool, which does simple map shifting.

This suite of tools was written out of necessity during development of "The Nomad II: Trapped", and is released for anyone who needs basic binary importing/exporting functionality in TileMax.

This suite includes the first public map importer for TileMax.

We at the Open Game Boy Games Project have released a demo of our game "The Nomad II: Trapped".

The Open GameBoy Game Project is dedicated to writing fun, OpenSource, GameBoy games. Right now, we've been working on our flagship title OpenMAZE, a game in which the player is trapped deep in the earth, and must navigate through a huge labyrinth, climbing up from level to level until you emerge at the surface. Well now OpenMAZE version 2.0 was finally released 8-13-01!

With 6 levels, 50 different rooms, new graphics, and a better user interface, this version is certainly the best yet!... read more

OpenMAZE 1.5 was just released, now fully compatible
with the gameboy color, and two more levels. Truly
awesome!

OpenMAZE is a simple, but extremely addicting
underground labyrinth game divided into levels
that you must climb into, eventually climbing
out onto the surface.
