Barbariana / Amiga 500 / Vorstellung

Makconner · 22 August 2023, 19:59

Hello friends,

My name is Stephan and I am a developer of the game Barbariana. I would like to present my game here and I hope to win your hearts for the project.

==========

Barbariana…

I call my game principle a mixture of a "dark adventure" and a kind of "over-time" game. A game that evolves over time. Actions of NPCs and those of the player are based on a lot of chance and mix with many different attributes of the characters involved. This creates a small sandbox world that you can design yourself. You have to respond to the needs of the characters and observe their actions.

The player is tacitly elevated to the position of bailiff of the town and is to rebuild the destroyed "Klein-Wiesenhain" on behalf of his mistress. He has to decide about all the resources and destinies of the place. But what is hidden behind the faces and in the darkness is not obvious. One cannot tell whether a farmer is a friend or an enemy.

More pictures and downloads can be found on the official game site.
I am always available for any questions.

Hi Makconner, thanks for sharing your game!

It looks interesting, however I don't understand German and I really hope that when you'll release it there will be an English version.

Keep up he good work!

Hello, nice that there are such quick reactions.

Don't worry about the language. At the moment the current version is being produced in 3 languages. German, English and French.

Possibly in the coming week there will be an update as a download and on Youtube.

malko · 22 August 2023, 22:30

If a FR version is planned, for sure it's a good game

Merci !

Makconner · 23 August 2023, 00:14

Don't worry it's not only planned, the French translation is almost finished for the current game.

On the side: I like the forum... it's fast ^^

Hello friends...
Version 0.09 is online and in 3 versions. German / English and French. The same applies to the condolence video in German and English.

Hello friends,
Yes, some people have already noticed.
I have completed Chapter 2 (The Return) of Barbariana. It is a stage of development that I will leave as is.
In this part you can move through the village using the joystick. Build and dismantle houses, enter and expand houses,
as well as farmers miss collection orders and then pick up the items to stack them.
I will exhibit this software version at Amiga38 and make it available for download online after the event.
As of now I'm working on Barbariana Chapter 3 (The Structure)
The focus is on a point-and-click operating system. Similar to Monkey Island.
Many systems are being completely redesigned and made smarter and faster.
New graphics and game features.
I would like to ask the community about the font.
Which font suits you best for the game so far?
I would like to start a vote on this.
1. Capital italic as in Chapter 2
2. Small for a lot of writing like the first story part

3. Very clear like in this game example (not mine)
http://goodthings-development.com/bilder/Screen0041.jpg
I would also be very happy about other font ideas from you.
A vote will certainly be started in the A1K forum.
https://www.a1k.org/forum/index.php?...s/86757/page-3
Thank you

The survey for your opinion is currently underway. I would be very happy if you cast your vote in the forums provided. In the future, there will be more focus on voting in order to get in closer contact with the community.
I try a lot to see what works and what doesn't.
The first vote on the control was already decided in favor of the mouse and I will therefore install a mouse control in the new offshoot of the Barbariana development.

I started a vote in this forum. You are cordially invited to cast your vote.

Thank you

Hello friends

I am very proud to report that Barbariana cut a fine figure on the Amiga 38. I was at the trade fair as both a developer and a visitor and was very happy to see interested parties and fans.

We had good conversations, interviews and new acquaintances that encouraged me to have new ideas and drive.

The new version shown on the Amiga 38 will be available for public download this week. But contrary to the previous news, I will be implementing a few more updates to the current version that will make the conclusion of Chapter 2 much more interesting. So look forward to more in Chapter 2.

Nevertheless, work on Chapter 3 is underway and we have a lot ahead of us. When we all meet again for the Amiga 40, the universe around the mistress of Kleinwiesenhain will have already expanded significantly.

Thank you to the fans of Barbariana.

Hallo Freunde

mit großem Stolz darf ich berichten: das Barbariana auf der Amiga 38 eine feine Figur gemacht hat. Ich war als Entwickler und Besucher gleichermaßen auf der Messe und habe mich über Interessenten und Fans sehr gefreut.

Wir hatten gute Gespräche, Interviews und neue Bekanntschaften die mich zu neuen Ideen und Tatendrang animiert haben.

Die auf der Amiga 38 gezeigte neue Version kommt noch diese Woche in den öffentlichen Download. Aber entgegen den bisherigen News, werde ich an der bisherigen Version noch ein paar weitere Updates umsetzen die den Abschluss von Kapitel 2 viel interessanter machen werden. Also freut euch auf noch mehr in Kapitel 2.

Dennoch geht die Arbeit an Kapitel 3 ins Rennen und wir haben viel vor uns. Wenn wir uns dann zur Amiga 40 alle wieder treffen, wird sich das Universum, um die Herrin von Kleinwiesenhain schon bedeutend vergrößert haben.

Vielen Dank an die Fans von Barbariana.
