Dr. Plummet`s House of flux
Note:
Scott was currently working on a commercial version of "GravAttack" for MicroIllusions. The game's new title is "Dr. Plummet's House of Flux." Scott was almost done with the game when he passed away. David Boyles, of MicroIllusions, said that they would complete the game and include a special page of dedication to Scott. Also.. Scott got his idea for GravAttack from several sources. The earliest was when he was in eighth grade. I had a contract to do some software development for government contract and was using the Air Force Academy computer in Colorado Springs, CO, where we were living at the time. One evening I took Scott with me to the computer lab as there was a graphics computer there that someone had programmed "Lunar Lander" on and I knew he would enjoy that. He was hooked! Several years later he told us that after seeing that game, he knew he was going to be a computer game developer. Even at that point he had several ideas on how to improve that game. Other aspects of GravAttack came from several different arcade games. I don't know which ones. With regard to the secret bonuses, I doubt that MicroIllusions will publish them. The new version does have lots of bonuses, however. Scott started using his middle name, Hjalmer, only recently. Apparently, there is another Scott Peterson developing software for the AMIGA and Scott didn't want people to become confused. He even started to sign his drawings with Hjalmer. The name Hjalmer, incidentally, was that of his grandfather. |
