I want to create a great Encyclopedia, containing within it all the knowledge humanity will need to rebuild itself in case the worst happens—an Encyclopedia Galactica, if you will.

Again, it is the legend... (Not my copy, I've got the 1984 US edition).

If you're into Dune, this is worth tracking down. It is out of print and kinda pricey, but full of information that Dr. Willis E. McNelly either read in the Dune books and thought was important enough to write down or made up to fill in the gaps in the series with Frank's approval.

My hope, so far dashed, is that the interest in all things Dune will lead to it being reissued. Hopefully without too much interference from Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

Cabin Pilot – extended theme – storyline, encyclopedia!

Game is about a flight with a space fighter with style of 8 bit computers. Something like BBC Micro, Spectrum, Electronika, MSX, Korvet, Okean, Sintez, PC Vesta. With style of those computers, that were in 80s.

Game has a point of view from a cabin. That’s, I can say, that it is a simulation and arcade, at the same time. You are a pilot. And during your missions you will be at the different planets. In desert, jungles, above the ocean, in a forest. You have a select from a 5 cabins. So, you can select a different front view! You shoot with a laser. Pew-pew, as in a Star Wars. 5 types of enemies. For diversity. Level duration is about 1 minute and a little more.

And, I am about a final moment in development. I was very involved with this development. And little make a bigger project in size. I add a text side. With description of what is going on. It is a storyline. And a description of planets, you will be there. And even more – a thing, that I called - Encyclopedia. About description of enemies.

So, first time, in terms of such games, I program a simple game menu. Two episodes. At your choice. With different stories in each. And different planets. You can turn on or turn off a sound. And visit encyclopedia, which gives description of enemies space ships.

Science fiction component – it is, for example, description of planets. So, here it will be a planet-ocean. And planet-jungle, planet-desert, planet Cyan. About it named, after the background color. It will be there a forest and plains.

 

A whole screen with circle of different colors. Green circle - it is planet-jungle. Blue circle - it is planet-ocean. And a text about a planet.

Encyclopedia is made same way. It is not long. About a 5 pages. Because of 5 enemies in game. About every enemy – a little text and a picture. It is two types of rockets, 2 types of small space ships and one normal space ship. It is more dive into the atmosphere. I want a lot to write these.

A storyline has two episodes. First episode has four levels. In a medium, level length is about one minute long and a little more. Second episode has 3 levels. And they are two different stories. Story with a sci fi action movie style. About a pilot.

In first episode you are a rookie, new pilot. And first time, you are sent to different planets. First, you are arriving to a rather calm planet-ocean. Where your first mission - it is patrol. In a second mission rocket attack awaits you. So, you shoot enemies rockets there. And next – two more missions, and you are sent to different planets. Planet-desert, planet-jungle. Ancient planet-desert, for example.

Second episode shows, already, a more experienced pilot. And he is sent at once into more hard mission. At one planet. Planet Cyan. Planet of forests and plains. And, it will be there a rather big scale battles. It is more hard episode. So here, there are more enemies at the screen. So, only 3 missions are here, they are harder. And lots of enemies. So, here, it is something like, big scale battles, you take a part into them. At the itself, a frontline. And, enemies are performing attack. A full-scale attack all along the frontline. And, later, it is, already, goes a counter-attack. Story has action movie style. With a text screens.

You can play this game with imagination. And to create with your imaginations some part of the game. So, it can be even more interesting.

This game will be released in terms of new version Basic Pascal Pack games. This game and some more games will be in a new version Basic Pascal Pack. As soon as I will have several complete games. All of them will to be in a new version Basic Pascal Pack. And a new version Basic Pascal Pack will be published for download.
