This is sad news indeed. Mark is a hero to me. Totally changed the direction of my life with Blitz (first on Amiga then later on PC with Blitz Plus/Blitz Max/Monkey).

RIP Mark Sibly.

Ooooh! I got my BlitzBasic copy from the same (imported) Amiga Format issue, back in 1993!

What a lovely trip down memory lane!

Without Mark I would not be a GameDev today. Rest in peace, and thank you for Blitzbasic, my first ever experience with programming.

RIP Mark. Wouldn't be where I am today without him and BlitzBasic, especially with how fun he made it to learn Blitz, make games, and be a part of the community he built around it.

Really sad news. #blitzbasic and #blitzmax got me back into hobby programming 22 years ago. The IDEs were spot on and the ease of creating games was fantastic. RIP.

This post is too relatable. Having grown up at a similar time and doing first game dev in BlitzBasic.

Oh... I miss this. The demo version runs. Just need to find a full version. Is this still viable to use?

For my needs it's basically perfect!
I missed out on learning things like BlitzBasic and DarkBasic and wanted a similar kinda experience.
Pygame CE, Thonny and Tiled make a great kit!

It went through several iterations; BlitzBasic, Blitz3D, BlitPlus, BlitzMax, Monkey, Monkeys before it finally disappeared off the radar.

The creator, Mark Sibly, passed away a couple of Decembers ago. 🙁

I'm maybe more likely to go back to an Amiga project at this point. In BlitzBasic 2!
