More like trading adventure with RPG elements

Elements of the strategy can be added in a future expansion if there is interest.

Because accessing a1k.org is not possible without an account there I will re-post here the answer given there:

Quote:

The bugs are definitely not "massive". All known are being eliminated successively and others shouldn't be annoying. It's more about the game's world balance. That, on the other hand, can be distinguished by categories like: 1) economy, 2) gaining experience, 3) dialogues, 4) travel and 5) difficulty in aforementioned. What profit should players make on the transported merchandise and/or contracts fulfilled? How many points of experience should they be rewarded for a completed mission/task? How deep should a conversation go in order to acquire an importan information and at what cost? Is the size of the actual world map alright or too big? How long does it take to level up? And so on. Some may suggest to make a different level of difficulty but I will respond it right now: Due to its construction in this game it is not possible. So we have to find a "golden middle" - to satisfy a casual player and an experienced one. You now see how difficult (impossible?) it is

Personally I think that the answer to all of that can be given when the "masses" will start to play it.

Blizzard for example ballanced their Starcraft severeal times with update packs, so it is nothing unusual. Today in internet era it is quite easy if you are not satisfied with your game.

Precisely that title I had in mind but didn't speak it out loud

AmyMor · 23 October 2020, 11:55

In all honesty I doubted this title really existed, too long without ever releasing even a small image ... But if the work goes on, I'll be the first to rejoice.

As for the release, I would opt to wait and have a 100% finished and tested product, maybe it will be the first AMIGA release of 2021.

This CHRISTMAS a couple of headlines are already out, the AMIGHISTS have something to get distracted by, better not let yourself be stolen with a flawed title.

PS: The advice I can give you is to post at least a couple of screenshoots here right now, of the current state of the game.

A lot have been made to keep secrecy about this game, and unspoil it out just before release?

@AgedCode please don't do it!

First quarter of 2021 seems reasonable.

Thanks Nikosidis, I remember seeing the great trailer for this game sometime ago.
I have send them an email but possibly might be others more suitable, certainly don't mind helping in some way if it means getting the game release, even if its just doing the box art or tidying up some elements.

We are already in contact. Thanks for reaching out

Hi ! As for me, it will be a day 1 purchase.
I don't mind waiting a couple more months but apparently the team needs to release it to gain some relief & income, which is absolutely understandable.

I don't know if you can release it by stating it's a "early access" version ? Can be risky too... Obviously, you'll probably get some harsh reviews, as everyone does, which will not be be representative of the feeling of the community.

So another option would be to invite players to send their reviews / feedbacks and publish them -- and not just wait for the moaners to moan.

BTW, really happy to see you have Kevin on board !

Exiting Read

I have a feeling this will be something special.

Predseda · 06 November 2020, 20:57

Thanks God, Invent is the good one!

Predseda · 14 April 2021, 19:48

We havent heard about the game since and there is no update on its website. Is there any news in the last half year?

torturedutopian · 14 April 2021, 19:51

You can see some WIP graphics on Kevin Saunders' Patreon account ! (just 1 day ago)

Predseda · 14 April 2021, 20:16

Thank you, just became Invent's patron.

invent · 15 April 2021, 00:54

Thankyou Predseda for becoming a Patreon, "AgedCode" would prefer not showing too much before the release so my posts for this project are behind a small paywall out of respect. I can so I'll be sticking around till the game is complete, very interesting project for the Amiga.

Recently we have been cleaning up the game interface and optimising the colour palette. A few background scenes are required to be tweaked and we have a small internal discord channel discussing various aspects.

We also have another very talented Amigan join the team similar time to when I did who is helping in many aspects of the game.

dreadnought · 27 August 2021, 14:19

Well, seems that last Xmas release date has slipped a bit

Any news on this project?
