[ATHANOR] New Adventure Game on Oric1/Atmos
Hi Everybody
Just a little post to inform you that a new game will come out very soon on Oric.
Athanor
It's an Adventure Game, Hobbit Style.
It will be available in physical version, 3.5" or 3" disk in a cardboard jacket cover (see : Infiltrator on Apple //)
This game will be delivered with several material clues (like CobraSoft games in the 80s)
Here is the illustration of the cover and a couple of screenshots
NB : The game will also be fully translated in english. (sorry these screenshots belong to the French version, I will post some with English text soon)
Happy New Year to Everyone
Stay tuned

Looking forward to seeing it. Hoping to get a real oric drive in 2014...
Re: [ATHANOR] New Adventure Game on Oric1/Atmos
Now that I see the screenshots, I wonder if your game would not benefit from having a custom character font instead of the system one
One possibility, the font used in the game Montségur:

Great news !
Will it be a commercial product for sell or can it also be available to download freely?

@barnsey123 : Thanks to you
@Dbug : I agree. Do you know if it's possible to find a .bin file for the custom character font ?
@peacer : Only in a commercial version. (cardboard packaging + Disks + material clues)

Hi Atlantis , continue the great job
Re: [ATHANOR] New Adventure Game on Oric1/Atmos
The game is not on Oric.org, if somebody has it I could probably extract the font.Atlantis wrote:@Dbug : I agree. Do you know if it's possible to find a .bin file for the custom character font ?
Re: [ATHANOR] New Adventure Game on Oric1/Atmos
perhaps you can find that in our test:

There you go:
And what the font looks like: Thanks to Maximus for the wav files.
Load it in $B400 if you are in TEXT mode, or $9800 if you are already in HIRES (add +1024 if you want to use ALT mode instead of STD)And what the font looks like: Thanks to Maximus for the wav files.
Re: [ATHANOR] New Adventure Game on Oric1/Atmos
Nice!
One thing is that, though I like the capitals, I find this font quite difficult to read. Dunno if this could be an issue for a text adventure game. Or maybe it is just me.

Re: [ATHANOR] New Adventure Game on Oric1/Atmos
It's definitely the easiest font to read, but my point was mostly on the visual impact of having a custom font vs using the System charset.Chema wrote:Nice!

In an adventure game you spend your time reading text, and it should not look like a second class citizen in relation to the pictures
That's one of the thing I nagged Dom about when he wrote Murder on the Atlantic, so I spent a bit of time and made him the 'Art Deco' font used in the game

Re: [ATHANOR] New Adventure Game on Oric1/Atmos
Thanks Mike & Maximus !
On the one hand, I agree that the font is fine but on the other hand I also considered that it's a little difficult to read.
I'll try it out ingame to see the result.
