I came to town today. The first thing I noted that all my favorite magazines are gone.
I mean console and computer magazines, mostly reviews magazines.


After all, why paying $10 to read game reviews when you can read reviews from internet.

But still, reviewer magazines are professional and know theirs stuff.

It's worth $10 for me.

I was thinking making a new Commodore game who will work on C64, Vic-20 or C16/+4.

It's a text adventure game.



Before starting a new game, I'll check if I can put DG: a text adventure game to work on Commodore computers.

I noted that Commodore Basic 2.0 lacks some commands found on Basica or GwBasic like While, Wend, Print Using "Money : ####"

After a few tries I managed to make the DG text to work on Commodore computers.

DG text on C64


DG text on Vic 20 (24k)


DG text on Plus 4 / C16 (32k)



The first problem is to convert the game from qbasic to basic, not just by adding numbers at the begin of the command line but also reworking some commands to make the game to run.

And it's worst on Basic 2.0. Some commands on Basica are not exist on Basic 2.0

DG text on Basica works but not all rooms. Complexe rooms are not coded yet.

Simple rooms work fine but more complexe rooms need more work to run.



Some codes on C64

Anyway. It's a funny way to explore Basic in different computers.

I remembered when I heard a new town for the Sims 3 for the fist time.

I downloaded but the game did not reconise the new town. Riverview was buggy,

Today, I downloaded Riverview again, It works.

Looks like I need Name user and the password to go to AtariAge this morning.

That's also happened to other websites I visited.

Everything is fixed now.

I worked on a new system in the upcoming AGS game: Space Trash.



All you need is to click on the head to choose a character to play and press OK to start a game. Also I added a new character to choose from.




See you later

What am I spending times since 3 weeks in a row?

Space Trash



Space Trash is an AGS adventure game which the heroes got abducted by a strange light. Now they are in the wierd place.




YeSSSSSSSSS sir. You can select a character. While the main quest would be the same for the three heroes, mini-quests can only apply for one of them.



The game features horror scenes with dead bodies, meet / fight fierce creatures in the science fiction era.


Space Trash also feature advanced inventory system where you can use an item.


Carl can use his pickfork, Inconcia casts spells and Robin can use computers.

I'll release the demo in 2013.


The screenshots are in French but the game will support English as well.



The game first was supported 320x200 but it had switched to 320x240 to eliminate letterbox.



Good bye. See you later.
