Der Luchs Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Hi Folks, now I'm working on a Game too. I don't know it, but I think it's the first one of it's Genre for the Lynx. Yes, it's a Textadventure! Maybe a Demo will be soon available, but only in GERMAN! I know that most of the ppl here don't speak german, but I'm so proud of it, that I need to post it Thanks for your Attention! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LX.NET Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Really cool. Great to see you make the leap to programming and your own game. Looking forward to the demo or some work in progress footage. And I am sure the music will be top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Luchs Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Thanks, Music??? I'm happy that I know, how to switch Screens and to include Sprites ^^ But I've got Sensei Sage on my side, so there will be no Coding-Problem, as long as he stays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_afternoon Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Great There IS one Lynx textadventure, the one about "drunken Merlin" on Yastuna 1, it´s very enjoyable (but brief, 20 minutes max.; English and French) Edited August 5, 2013 by Atari_afternoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Luchs Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Yastuna 1 was a TextAdventure??? K... Whats the Story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Luchs Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Ok, my Story is Not about drunken merlin ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungsi Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Yeah - that's very nice - a german text adventure :-) A few days ago I've received the FlashCard, so I can test it quickly on real hardware :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_afternoon Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Y1 is a collection one of it is a text adventure (English and French). You wake up as Merlin after a long night at the drinking table with the king, the king calls you and you have to get your gear together: magic ball, wand, hat etc. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/127431-yastuna-vol-1-the-alchemy-of-cubes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Cool! Congrats on getting it done, even if I won't be able to understand a word on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadest Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Great There IS one Lynx textadventure, the one about "drunken Merlin" on Yastuna 1, it´s very enjoyable (but brief, 20 minutes max.; English and French) FYI, the kit for making your own Merlain's like game without any notion of programming (in fact, you just need to understand the syntax of the text source file, and link result, but you don't need to enter into C source code if you don't want) must be somewhere in this forum I know that Rygar started a space adventure with it but probably cancelled it. Edit : found the topic http://atariage.com/forums/topic/128469-lynx-kit-create-you-own-adventure-game-with-nearly-no-programming/page__hl__%2Bkit Edited August 5, 2013 by Fadest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Luchs Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 thanks for the Info, but now I've got my own way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadest Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 As stated in the linked topic, this was only intended for small projects. It would need a major revision to be an engine for a bigger game (allowing to have different background graph, playing music, compacting source text to save space...), so if you have some programming skills, you are right to make your own engine But for someone who want to play with the idea of making its own mini-game, it could be an option. I hope that the final version of your game will include an english version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Luchs Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Nope, I have no skills it's just learning by doing and asking Sage ^^ @English Version: If the final Version is good enough, maybe... But I want someone who's mother tongue is english, to translate my translation in real english otherwise would be embarrassing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael David Morsette Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I wouldn't mind helping you out with that. You could give me your version of the translation and I could edit it for you. I could correct grammar and generally make sure it all flows well and makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetUK Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Or my wife is a linguist and she can translate written German pretty good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Luchs Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Thanks guys! @GadgetUK: awesome!! But it will be pretty much to translate... So, if the german Demo Version is good enough, then we make an english Version :-) But First I need to write more Chapters for a Demo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambler172 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I've got 3 Testers, so I don't need Testers at the moment... BUT THANKS!!! One is here in the Forum, Masematte i am most time in the 7800 Forum Everybody knows me there But no Problem for me,then i hope to see a file for downloading......one day There are sooo many wip games for the LYNX and most of the programmers never post a bin..... Are they afraid,someone might copy their game???? I always buy new Lynx Releases to submit this nice Little machine and to honor the work of the programmers, greetings Walter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Luchs Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 There are many Roms of Games here... You need to look and yes, someone is SELLING Pirate Releases of Lynx Homebrew/Demo's You will be a Tester, somehow. Because I will make a Demo of the German Version and I will post it here. If the german Users say: "Wow, the Story is great, I want to know how it ends, move on!" I will complete the game and start to translate the Game in english. If everyone say: "Yeah, nice first try... the main thing is that you like it... But if you move on, it's just a waste of time." I will NOT complete the game or translate it So, it will be up to you too, if there will be a translation and a full game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambler172 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hi Luchs i hope,you will really post a demo and do not loose interest,like many others........ Something,i really hate is,if someone posts a Video,shows,what he has,but does not release a demo to check it out. I am never interested in this Videos,i want to see a demo to Play on the Lynx I would never buy a game,if there is only a Video.... And the more People Play the demo,maybe bugs might be found easier..... greetings Walter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Luchs Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Don't be afraid, I will post a Demo and I really need that help But why should I post a Demo of about 5min. to read without any action? You want to play a good Demo that will show you something of the story and some action or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im_reg Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Seems a good time to start learning German. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
