MenTaLguY himself quit shortly after, but in spite of this New Revolution somehow survived for more than a year (gaining members such as Stargazer, author of Dylan's Gems, and Starfire/Tabris/SyntaxGlitch, author of Eggplant Adventure). In an attempt to salvage the group's image MenTaLguY released Gates: The Puzzles and Hunt the Wumpus 3D, New Revolution's only two releases. Exophase, discontented with the MegaZeux community (which was growing more and more chaotic at the time) quit New Revolution and left the MZX IRC community altogether, while still staying around on other smaller channels. New Revolution planned on releasing a demo/mini-game bundle in the vein of Autumn Dream's Xenogenesis titled "Shades of the Future." Although quite a bit was done, this release never saw the light of day.

Although initially shying away from leadership, Exophase was eventually established as "president", with MenTaLguY as "vice-president", and the two spent much time discussing plans and rallying together the other members. It consisted of well over a dozen members at its peak, merging several previous groups (although after a dispute Luke Drelick pulled the previous Duky Inc. This group was something of a brute force attempt to out-perform the highly received group Autumn Dreams. In 1997 Exophase started an MZXing group known as New Revolution. Like many projects of the time, the game was constantly revised and didn't get too far, and was finally abandoned years later. He began work on a game titled "Era's Light" which was to be an epic length RPG. Here he spent countless hours under the identity gaK, often into the middle of the night, mainly with a small group of west coast MZXers who were well known at the time.įrom early on Exophase was interested in developing RPGs in MegaZeux, in particular with battle engines that attempted to approach the industry standard level in contemporary console games (as opposed to the more simplistic battles occasionally present in MZX games). The mailing list spearheaded a move to IRC, where he would eventually find himself. He also made a few posts on the MZX mailing list, including a buggy battle engine in response to being ignored he made an exasperated post which was actually also ignored.

He started out on the AOL ZZT/MZX message boards, using his household's AOL login (dkutnick). Exophase joined the MZX community in early 1996, at the age of 12.
