Cursor  Clickable links

Version 5.0.27 will introduce optional links to show which keywords are clickable. Runner already brings up a menu when certain words are clicked upon, but this will make it more obvious. This makes it easier to play games using only the mouse, should you wish to do so.

Cursor  ADRIFT Map video

I have created a video demonstration of the ADRIFT map, covering all the functionality of the map within Developer.

Hopefully this will be the first of many demonstrations to come. I hope you find it useful!

Cursor  Version 4 update - Now Free!

I have decided to release an update to version 4 (release 52).

This is pretty much the same as the last release, with two changes.
  • There was an error message when running alongside version 5, due to both versions using the same storage in the registry and v4 not expecting the values v5 stored.
  • I have removed the registration restrictions, so v4 is now free.
You can download the files only update here. Alternatively you can download the full install here or the full Runner install here.

Cursor  WebRunner Map

I have been working on adding the map to WebRunner, bringing a large chunk of ADRIFT functionality to online play. It is not interactive like using the Runner application, so you can't move or rotate it, or click on individual locations, but it will update as you move between locations.


I will get this released to online play soon.
