A downloadable tool

Are you a creative Commodore 64 user who likes to make games using the Shoot Em Up Construction Kit (SEUCK) or Sideways Scrolling SEUCK. Are you bored with the old front end, provided? Do you want to make your presentation stand out but you cannot code

Transform this:


into this:

The New Dimension is very proud to present to you the SEUCK Title Screen Maker. A fun tool which can help you make cool new front ends and link them to your very own standalone games, created with SEUCK on the Commodore 64. 

NO CODE REQUIRED, but you will need an Action Replay/Retro Replay cartridge or plugin to place the title screen onto your game, if you can't code.

A manual PDF has also been included with guidance on how to use this tool. 

Latest version:  V1.5+ (6th July 2022)

The S.E.U.C.K Title screen maker consists of the following features:

  • Free memory adaptable for programming your own enhancements into your SEUCK games (See SEUCK School for tips and tricks).

All  example games come in standalone raw SEUCK format, along with new front ends. All front ends have been converted to work on SEUCK Title Maker V1.4 and have been carefully put in place and tested. 

There are future plans for a bonus disk/image containing Turbo Assembler code snippets with full instructions on how to implement and enhance your SEUCK games even more to your programs. Watch this space :)
