I'm working on new text adventure game system for Atari. As a proof of concept, I'm porting the game Exoter from ZX. The game runs on simple virtual machine and the text is displayed in hi res gfx. It uses proportional fonts and supports kerning. The game is menu driven.
The Exoter game is basically complete (it is possible to play and win the game).
I'm looking for someone who would create intro graphics, music (and maybe some sound effects) for the game.
Also some help translating game to Polish and German would be useful (I have currently only Czech version, but I hope to prepare English translation soon).
I'm planning to make some other games on this engine and I will gladly give source code to anyone, who would like to try some game too.
It is pure assembly now. Although when the virtual machine language stabilizes, I would like to provide support for Atalan so it is possible to program the game logic using Atalan :-) So Atalan would work like kind of front-end to the engine.
But I needed little break from Atalan and to finally finish something too... :-)
poison:
Yes, the feather is the pointer steered by joystick and I would like to add support for mouse, if possible (some assembler source code for mouse driver would be helpful). However the game can be fully driven by keyboard shortcuts, which is much better way.
mgr_inz_rafal translated the game to polish and did some testing, so some bugs were removed.
Now I am searching for someone to draw some title graphics. Of course I will send that someone the game, so he cat try it and have some idea what it's about.
does anyone have working light pen on real Atari? I have implemented support for light pen in Exoter engine and it is nicely working under Altirra. I would however like someone to test it on real hardware.
