Ho avuto modo di leggere il libro (in realtà, una raccolta di racconti brevi) molto tempo fa, e di confrontarmi con Simone su contenuti espliciti e significati nascosti.  A distanza di anni, il libro è tuttora più che mai ricco di spunti di riflessione. 

Fatevi un piccolo regalo e scaricate questo piccolo gioiello. Ne vale la pena!

Thanks, Andrew. I really appreciate it. Please stay tuned for more.  

Thank you for playing our games and report back. It motivated us to continue and get better. You can find us here or on our personal web pages @warrigal @g0blin

Absolutely! I just noticed it yesterday while doing the final test.  Thanks for Ozmoo and Puny!

I had the pleasure, and the honor,  to read these pages years ago. Despite being a coder myself, I found Simone's way of explaining things entertaining and compelling, and I actually backed up some of the online articles I was writing at the time with excerpts from this book.

This is a highly recommended reading for everyone. 

Thanks! I plan to enter with an entire Western trilogy. Two games are ready for testing, the third still undergoing development.

I played the game and I liked it, although I needed to use the walkthrough towards the end since I couldn't figure out how to use the inventory. It was the first time I encountered a game where items are automatically put, retrieved, and somewhat combined without direct interaction. Once you get used to it, it works out well, although I had struggled with the word play since I'm not a native speaker.

A nice little game that deserves respect for its AdvSys-based implementation. Although very short, it gave me the same feelings I had while playing on 8-bit machines when I was young. I tested it on a real A2000 and an A1200, where it worked like a charm.

Thanks. I am glad you liked it. Thank you for playing

File updated after bugfix

Thanks! It is appreciated.

I just finished to play this game. What a blast! The environment, NPCs and puzzles reminded me of those great games of the past. Also, despite being developed for a comp (were games are often rather short in nature) this one is a full-fledged product that will keep you entertained for quite a while. Well done!

Well, Shadow of the Colossus was a hell of a game, or "Kami game" ("神ゲーム": god game, amazing game) as the Japanese would say, so I am really glad you liked mine. I will work on a post-jam release to fix some typos and stuff but, at present, I still don't know if I will expand this concept. I really hope so, and if I do I'll surely get in touch.

That part of the game seems to be misleading for some players. When you encounter a new NPC, you should "TALK TO him/her/it" to establish contact and then "ASK him/her/it ABOUT things". I guess I will modify how the library manager reacts after the jam ends.

Thank you for playing. I will make good use of the comments.

the hint says "talk to the library manager", so simply "talk to manager".

Good morning and thank you for playing my game. If you talked to the manager,  the book he gave you should have been added to your inventory automatically. Could you please check? 

Nice game, with consistent story and fun puzzles. Maybe a little rushed in the final part, but overall a very good job. Congratz!

Grazie, Zeno.

Currently away for duty reasons. I'll make sure to play them all when I get back. Good luck y'all!

Very interesting concept. I like it!

As for the book, which I read many moons ago, maybe the technological changes were unpredicted because the book was not actually about the future. The foreword to the book stated that, although published in 1949, it had been written in 1948. In other words, by switching the last two digits of the date, Orwell wanted to say that that foreseen future was, at least for the most part, actually already present. This idea gave me the shivers ...

Great Job! It surely is noteworthy!

Damn, mate, you are a war machine! How can you code this fast? I'll try the game out asap

I have a couple of questions to ask: which framework did you use to develop the game and would it be possible to compile it for a C128? (I mean in C128 mode, not C64). 

Awesome stuff! I'm the one who reviewed the game on Amigaguru's blog. Nice to make your acquaintance. 

Aw, I played the game on my C128 (in C64 mode, obviously), but I didn't get to it. I guess I died too early.... You'll get the link asap. Cheers

Are you the same Saberman who realize the video on IndieRetroNews about CyberPunks2? If so, well done.

It would be so cool if you managed to fix a .D64 image and embed the splash screen at game start. In any case, I'll take care of a proper review on RMW upcoming issue. Ottimo lavoro. 

I hope so too. I'll keep in touch.

Now that my A1200 is finally fixed, I had the pleasure to play the game from start to finish in one day. I really liked it a lot, and I hope to see more of the likes in a near future. Thanks for coding it. 

Best regards

Gianluca

I went for a quick run yesterday night, playing the game on a real A1200. It feels nice and fresh, one of those products where everything screams late 80ies, with pixels, colors, and exploration.  There is a fairly big map to explore, people to meet, and puzzles to solve. I need to get back to it a.s.a.p..

Well done!

Thank you very much. It is really appreciated.

Indeed!

Thanks a lot for the info. It keeps crashing on my real machine, but the hardware itself is under investigation for possible video chip problems. I'll let you know.

Thank you for your interest in my games. I don't know if boxes are still around, but I can manage to at least send you a download link. Sadly, "The Secret of Middle City" should be re-dubbed "The Curse of Middle City"; it is all reported here.

And yes, "there is interest". I'll get back to you on individual sections.

Dude, this is mindblowing! I have the same "troubles" with art: I can draw and somewhat use colors, but not as professional as I would like for my games, even though I just make them for fun. Furthermore, it is a very time-consuming process. I would have never considered using an AI to generate what I need. Brilliant!
