Continuing from part 1 of my documented journey into the world of ZX Spectrum Next video game development for UrbX Warriors (with my partner in crime Tony Warriner) I suppose the next bit I should write about is how the look of the game came about. But…

To cut it short Ravi asked me if I would be interested in being a guest speaker at the Kick Start UK 02 event he was organising for the end of June 2024.
