Interesting! I already own Devolution in the boxed version from Polyplay and find it fantastic. Is there more information about Die Kaufmannsgilde?

Strange things are going on: Some minutes ago I downloaded the game, now it isn't possible to download it again and all I get if I click on the button is the demo and the soundtrack. I'm a backer.
edit: aaand now it's here again. Quite peculiar.
edit2: I think something is wrong: The game is now downloadable (the full version) even if you don't buy it. It's right on the main page together with the demo.
Hi. I just got the game here. One thing I immediately noticed is that there are some of the standard RPG-Maker-sound effects in the game. I noticed it when I loaded a game. Is it a placeholder? Other than that I really enjoy exploring the world you've created and look forward to further developments.
Hi. Congrats to the release! I just bought the bundle with both games but I'm struggling getting the real GB-color (green). I tried both BGB and VisualBoyAdvance but all I get is black and white. The respective color settings don't seem to do anything at all. Can you give me a hint or recommend a good emulator that does support the original green color? Thanks!
After being a longtime observer I finally purchased the game recently and would like to express the fondness I already have for it. It's such a pleasant experience driving through beautiful landscapes and controlling a railcar. I was never the simulator type but this game brings calmness and peace to my mind. I'd also like to add that I appreciate the dedication you have for your game, every update is a pleasure to read and I feel that the money was well spent. That's Early Access how it should be.
Wow, what an intense experience you've created here. The moment heavy artillery fire set in I inevitably flinched and looked for cover. The nightmare that is trench warfare can never be replicated in a game, but this experience sure comes close in ludic terms I think. I'm very interested in how this develops.
Hi Jonathan. I'm a big fan of the original Fun Park for the ZX Spectrum (I played it for hours on end, both on emulator and on my real Speccy). I didn't hesitate for a second when I saw this ZX81 adaption here. Alas I seem to have a problem with the configuration of EightyOne. I get dollar signs insead of the green background. On the attached image you can see the effect and the configuration I use in EightyOne. Thank you for your help.
Hi and thanks for your reply. To the remark about the inn chest: In other cities, my stored items appear, only on Ikhlas Atoll it isn't the case.
Regarding the map: That question still is a mystery to me. Is the "punishment" for continue (instead of reloading) designed to eraze the explored parts of the map of the island where you died - while you still keep quests and items you collected there? Seems strange to me.
And even stranger seems the fact that when I reloaded an older (stored away as a zip) savegame from before I even had set foot on said island, all my prior explorations on this island were there. Are map informations not saved in the save files?
edit: I'm fine if some bucks and some more or less useful items disappear from my inventory. I hope no quest relevant ones?
Oh man... I died from one of these darn octopusses (or whatever the plural form of these things is) on Ikhlas Atoll. Instinctively I pressed ENTER (because that's what you normally do to get to the menu in such a case) - and found myself teleported back to Salam Island instantly. Now I'm not sure what exactly happened.
Even more important: I cannot say if something is missing from my inventory because I chosed "continue" instead of "load game". What exactly does it?
Thanks. The game is otherwise perfect, but this is a real pain to me.
edit: on returning on the Ikhlas Atoll I notice that the map I earlier compeltely explored has been erased... is that normal? Does "continue" eraze the place you've been prior to your death? What about discoveries, quests? I seem to still have the items I got on the Iklhlas Atoll...
edit2: Ok, the Inn chest seems to have been erased too... arrrgh!
edit3: more areas I've previously visited and throughly explored are erazed on the map. I really begin to lose all motivation to continue on.
edit4: Ok, it gets even stranger: I reloaded a savegame I made prior to my arrival on Akhlos Atoll (I regularly make such emergency savegames). When I now set foot on the said Island, the map is explored, as I left it earlier. How is that possible?
And I just got it over on Steam today. I'm very happy with my purchase. That's what I call a classic roleplaying experience! And thanks to the original scenario it has a quite unique atmosphere and feeling. What I've played already gives me exactly that feeling of wonder and adventure I knew back in the days (and miss so sorely nowadays), when Might and Magic was still exlusively an RPG-series and Ultima was all the rage. Oh and congratulations to the release by the way!
That's fantastic news! One question: I use MT-32 emulation for years now for my DOS games. I tried to do the same thing I do with every MT-32 game: I unpacked DOSBox (portable) to the directory of The Aching, inserted the two ROM-files and started the game via Gorgon2 > EGA > MT32 and Sound Blaster. Now I hear the MT-32 music (which sounds fantastic by the way) but other sound effects are either missing (the waterfall sound) or distorted (the blowing winds right at the beginning where you see the city far away sound more like some kind of flute... is there a specific configuration I have to use in the DOSBox conf?
Thank you.
