It's 3.0. The game "Entity" was ported from grac 2.0 just to check its funcionality. Now, it's time to develop a new game, write a full manual (now almost 100 pages including a tutorial), test it, test it... and release to the community. Main problem: time

Greetings.

FABULOUS! I love the inventory graphics, the mouse text, looks fantastic. How do you port a grac2 game to this player. When I rename my file to name.GRAC3 and copy the gracplayer30 over to the file, Grac3 won't open it, it says "Not a Grac3 file" So how do I open my Grac2 game in Grac3? Thanks for any help, I am really excited to move my Geo's Quest development to Grac3 and resolve the bugs and take advantage of the great additions you have created.

Forget this version it's an alpha version, really Grac3 is not released yet. You need Birrax check and convert manually your game from grac2 to grac3. For now Grac3 not convert automatically older games.

Considering Grac 3 is already in alpha, I would think migrating to Grac 2.5 would just take programming efforts away from the Grac 3 release.

@kikems
What is the current status?

I am just going to use grac out there the version 2.0. I think the release of 3.0 may not be possible in my lifetime. Which is understandable. But I cannot wait for 3.0 anymore.

Hi xboxown!

Sorry for the delay with Grac 2.5 and 3. We are working on both versions, but my spare time is very very limited. Can u show us some of your graphical adventure? I'll try to "buy time" to finish grac 3

Cheers!

With pleasure. Once my shift is finished today at 5:30 PM and it is now 2:33 PM, I will send you a link to download an adventure game I am making. I am intending to port this game exactly 100% to the GRAC Amiga. With the exact same colors too. I am having an artist who is working for me who is going to update it with new custom graphics too.

As a quick tip, Amos Bank files are not allowed to have an odd-numbered length. If it has, add a pad byte somewhere to make it even. It is much more likely to compile then.
