You wanted to maim me back then when I told you of the paltry sum that I had paid for my copy of Dragon's Breath. You'll probably want to torture and then murder me after reading this coz I got a 2nd copy recently in a games lot for about the same price (1.50 UKP). Besides didn't someone here say they would take your copy off your hands for the same price that you paid?! |

Before you all get too excited...
Might I suggest you all read the new thread in the Marketplace forum.... it has a rather obvious title.

Progress Report
Finally the bugs plaguing the detection of save disks has now been solved.
I have now got Dragons Breath to save games.... unfortunately, it reports load errors when it trys to retrieve them! But other than that, the game is nearing completion. A few Access faults have also been detected and fixed, and on 68o6o with caches enabled, the game flies along quite quickly! So, hopefully today the game might be finished, and then its off to Frank to sort out the install process if I can finish it before he goes on holiday |

17:27 GMT 4th December 2002
Mark that time in your diaries..... Dragons Breath was completed at that exact time!
Some stats for you to peruse: 1). Combined trackloading and AmigaDOS Disk 1 2). Trackloading Disk 2 3). AmigaDOS save disk 4). Heavy Encryption on bootup 5). MANX C Access Faults 6). 2x Track protection reads 7). Document Check 8). Pseudo Copylock Trace decoder x 2 9). Trackdisk Seek routines x 2 10). Save bug to track down 11). Disk swap bugs to solve 12). Save swap bugs to remedy And to cap it all off, the game was written in C!!! Game now operates correctly under WHDLoad, an ADF version will be released in time for Christmas (one bug to fix to get it to work on 68o6o). Frank will be handling the installer bits and bobs (unless he is already on holiday, so it wont be released till after the 16th!). ..... can I rest now? |

Delay
Dragons Breath is delayed until the 16th December, Frank is going on Holiday. I thought I gave him enough time to complete it, but he hasn't got the time right now !

With DragonsBreath done maybe "The Way Of The Hubba" will get its chance ? :-) I am sure a lot of people here would love to play that, especially since no one has seen it ;-)))

After all that...
...Frank did do it Expect it on WHDLoad whenever Bert puts it up.
So, you all owe him some thanks as its him that has stopped it being delayed, and a bloody good job he did too. Just so I dont get multiple requests. I will not release any images until Cody has bought it and its on WHDLoad. I really hope to get a big download count for the game, alas, I think not! (after all that work!) |

As it stands, I used to have the game and the disks corrupted, Hence I cannot find them any more but I still have the manuals for the game, just no disks =. Anyone care to send me images ?

Soon.
First images should be released at Chrimbo (don't hold me to this though) and Dragon's Breath is high up my own wish list so it should come sooner rather than later... It will certainly come after Galahad's release either way though since he deserves the credit for all that work he has put in... (it is virtually no work at all for us to do a release now that nearly all known disk formats have descriptors) |

Ok, grab it from here
http://matrixngc.free.fr/whd/DragonsBreath.LZX
ONE condition...... Please all download the slave from WHDLoad.de.... I have a feeling it isn't going to be a big hit, after all, I don't think it sold very well.... never mind! Just so theres no confusion, these are images for WHDLoad, the ADF version for Amiga and UAE is not ready yet. Last edited by Galahad/FLT; 06 December 2002 at 19:20. |
