Oh and Gunlord actually made it into the clones section.

Ultracore is my personal favorite of that bunch. Anyway, like snajper said, look through the news. TR is not updating the subsections that much anymore but he has been posting news snippets regularly for decades which is quite amazing.

IIRC Ultracore has been mentioned here in the news a few years ago, as well as both Gunlords. So...

Also, everyone should play Cyber Shadow. It's a Ninja Gaiden-esque but has that Turrican 3 feel too.

Denaris and Katakis trademark
Shortly after Manfred Trenz announced he´d develop a new Katakis for several Systems, Factor 5 registered the trademarks Katakis and Denaris in the US (at October 22, 2004).
Now, at 03.11.2004, there was a news at Manfred´s Denaris Software:
"Katakis 2 will be developed by Denaris Entertainment Software and Smash Designs only. No other developers are involved in any way. Any information stating this is wrong."

The Master´s Homepage
Manfred "the Master" Trenz, the creator of Turrican, now has two homepages (beside RAM-Brands great Manfred Trenz Fanpage):
http://www.denarisoftware.de
http://www.targamt.de/( <---Targa was another name for his game "Rendering Ranger" + MT ;)

Denarisoftware will be developing a new Katakis if everything goes right!

SETA News
Thanks to Carlo Savorelli, once again, there´s a new game in the SETA: Alisia Dragoon. It looks and plays nicely, the only thing I personally don´t like is that the enemies respawn quite fast.

T2002-Level-Contest
With two brand new and interesting T2002-Levels (bigworld.exe by Christian Werdehausen and T-Rmx.exe by Psykko666) I declare the T2002 Level-Contest for opened. You have still time until end of the year to do some great levels and send them to webmaster@nemmelheim.de, everything is allowed as long as it runs with T2002, so best make or get some new tilesets.

A special site and of course a voting-highscore will follow until then. Btw, Tutorials and FAQs on how to make T2002 Levels are still very welcome.

Hurrican?
Is making progress. It´s now being worked at the Snow and Alien-Levels and some really nice special effects.
 
   
 10.10.2004
Turricane??
Is still being worked on, but nothing playable yet. If we are lucky then Shezzor, who did the little Blitz-Basic-Turrican-Clone joins the team, then it´s not far to a playable level.

Windstille!
There are some new Artworks and a video of OpenGL-SL-Effects that may be used in the game. And hey, the hero is a girl ^^.

A real box for Smash´s Turrican 3
"V" Verena und "M-ForceR" of the group "the V-Concept" are working on a Box for Smash´s Turrican 3, complete to fold. The front is finished and looks promising, now he´s working on the back. It will be done just like the classic boxes. Just in case AEG is reading this: he could need some data for the back :)
