Hello. Quick message today. This is simple : I'm looking for an ATI video card. An ATI 128 AGP card is preferred, although an ATI Rage Pro or Xpert or anything like that will do. This is because Kyodai 11.56 apparently doesn't work correctly on these cards, whereas version 11.42x used to run fine. I don't see where the problem could be, so I want to see it by myself. Thanks ! (PS : I could trade a license for a card)

Hello. No news good news. I spent all this time working on improving Voodoo support. First of all, a great improvement : if you're playing in Voodoo mode, calling a window (layout selector, about box, file selector, etc) will no longer throw you out from Voodoo mode. The window will be displayed in fullscreen mode. Second great improvement : I've also written a completely new menu system, which emulates the "normal" Windows 98 menus, only it works on Voodoo cards and it shows the marble texture in the background. Plus, all of these windows and menus have a cool shadow effect. I also fixed several bugs (load/save game support, etc), and I'm doing my best to release a beta version later this week. Just give me some more time to get everything to work perfectly on my own machine...

Hi there. Kyodai 11.56 is now available at ZDNet, and you can download it from the main page. It was finished 4 days ago and beta-tested in the mean-time. It works relatively well, and Voodoo support is pretty stable. Now I'm working hard on version 11.57, which might be coming next week. I don't know yet what the exact feature list will be...

This is a sad day. I only learned today that John Nicholas, author of such wonderful tilesets as Ivory, China and Dreaming, had passed away last month. I don't know what else to say, but I wanted to post this small note.

Hello. I've just uploaded a fixed version of Kyodai 11.55 Beta 1, which was posted yesterday. This fix simply adds a file I had forgotten to include in the original release, which caused a crash when starting the program. I hadn't thought of this problem because this file was in my Windows directory, so Kyodai acted like it had found the file. Sorry for this repost, but apart from that, the user feedback so far is very satisfying. Same URL as yesterday !
