Wow. I really need to update this section, since so much has happened.

Source code and new binaries have been released. Check them out at The Z2 Homepage. Also, work has begun on the new UI and scripting code. Cool stuff. Must check it out.

This was posted on the Megazeux ML:

I'm happy to say I've been allowed back on the computer (a sort of probationary measure), and that I'm going to begin preliminary work on a total rewrite of Z2 (v0.70) It will be faster, more stable, and will have more features. This is being filed under my "hobby" folder, so there is a good and bad side effect... The bad side effect: The game will be done when it's done. (And only then) The good side effect: Z2 WILL BE FREE FOR THE MASSES TO ENJOY! That's right. I'm not in it for the money anymore, let's just say that the divine light has been cast upon me and I have risen to the next plane of enlightenment. Here's what I hope to achieve for v0.70. Of course this is pure speculation and conjecture at this point and may or may not come to pass. o Multiple resolution support (320x200 upto 1600x1200) o Multiple tile sizes (8x8, 16x16, 32x32 and 64x64) and "Grids" o Better sound (hopefully including PAS support that actually works ;>) o Smooth scrolling o Faster gameplay Well, thanks goes to the people who haven't forgotten and here's hoping for smooth sailing for as far as the eye can see.

After asking about the fate of Z2, I got this from Carlos DaSilva, saying that Z2 is alive and well:

Ok, first of all, Z2 is not dead. I have limited access to my computer (and consequently Z2 and internet), so development has been slowed down. I am currently working on making it much faster and more flexible than the current version (including support for multiple resolutions, an easier editor, and other substantial changes.) I'm not worried about releasing a final version quickly, I am going to release it every once in a while in an uncompleted form, until one day, it's complete!

None.. yet.
