Very nice new game

I was quite surprised while watching AmigaBill and discovered that boxed version can be obtained only through Allegro, which is a bit obscure way outside Poland. If Sordan sells it too, it makes sense.

it's only because we were in the process of changing the distributor of our games abroad

Now is all fine, and brand new game from me will be released in next week! I'm deliberately delaying the release in Poland to make it available at the same time also from Sordan. Package with games on its way to Ireland shipping from Sordan is really low, even to the USA. I think it's a great deal. Besides, my Amiga games will always be for free in digital version

Thanks, but receive the following when clicking on "zgred.adf":



EXE works fine though.

[DamienD]

Don't worry, I used the EXE to update the disk.

File in The Zone! for anyone that wants it

[DamienD]

Oh, one question...

The game is called "ZGR3D" hey?

Why is the game EXE not named this but "zgred"?

Edit: and the game title for 1.3.3 still says 1.3.

In Polish language "zgred" means "geezer" - old and eccentric man. The authors changed a letter E to number 3. It is something like In English you change expression or a word into letters and numbers eg. 4U means "for you" or L8R - "later" or Combat into Kombat. It has also less "geezy" and more computerish look. It's rather artistic.

In Polish language you may sometimes find letter S transformed into number 5 or letter Z into number 2. But of course only in an artistic and very informal pictures, logos and not in a written, regular language.

[DamienD]

Thanks mailman; but I totally get the use of "3" as opposed to "E"

Very unique version of Tetris. Watching the YouTube videos I was wondering What and How is this played? It took a few views to understand the elimination from the side since I wasn't seeing the shapes change.

Normally I won't even bother with most Platform games...they're sooooo repetitive and snoozers...not much logically happening (except for creation). Kid Chaos, SuperFrog were attempts and making them better. As well as more visually attractive. But for me..soon failed. Amiga Classics, yes..but..

This one...is challenging! You've flipped Tetris around a bit.

Normally "Unboxing" videos are goofy people acting odd and dumb when describing and showing stuff. The above, didn't do that. Experience, I think! Yaaay!! However, the first time I watched it I was only looking at the presentation not the instructions. Oops, goofy me! Presentation for us U.S. people is very good! Once I returned to it, I noticed the instructions...but that was AFTER I downloaded the digital and quickly figured how to play.

It's not the typical Puzzle Solver...and Thhhhat got my attention. I'll probably be ordering the box..but shall check into that in a bit. You've made a very challenging game that changes every time Game Over happens, and you don't just have to replay the same repetitious level. Riggggggght on!! That's the problem I have with so many Amiga platform games.

So, I'm kicking around the idea of donating 20$ to you, if that's possible, or order the Box which might be more...but also worth it. The English is well done, grammar and punctuation!! Another YAY!!

Now...that typed.. I played with my A4000 + CyberstormPPC + Picasso 4 + CVisionPPC..currently using CGX 4, which I also have P96 and Picasso96 installed... I noticed something. There are "graphics static lines" at the very top of the screen. That might be a bug or a result of OCS/ECS on AGA. I'll check into that.

Either way! Rockin' game that HAS my interest.

1.3.X - X subversions are readable with "version" command

Zgred -> ZgR3D (R3D from project R3D, like Mailman said 3=E). the prototype of the game is called the mole. both words have a similar sound effect in Polish

AC/DC HACKER - " That might be a bug or a result of OCS/ECS on AGA. I'll check into that." - can You make a photo ?

[DamienD]

Ok, thanks Juen

I guess what I've been trying to get clarity on; what is the game actually called?

Is it:

• ZGR3D?
• ZgR3D?
• ZGRED?
• ZgRED?

LOL, you should really pick one as the game creator...

It's confusing as hell for the end-user.

I've seen 4 different variations so far; as listed in my last post
