carlsson Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 It is December 12, and just as Lucia is preparing herself for the Lucia celebration and parade in the next morning, she realizes she has forgotten to bake saffron buns to hand out to everyone! Lucia decides to go off to the kingdom of Stalledrang to collect enough saffron buns for the parade. Can you help her without getting run over by the red gnome, and can you even do it fast enough to pick up some bonus points? Exclusive release for a new freebie game: Santa Lucia by yours truly, developed in IntyBASIC. lucia.rom lucia.txt 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I really like the music. Cute game. Needs some work, but I like the concept. -dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Steve Jones Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Looks cool, will check it out. Is the plot based on a local tradition or story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 The Lucia celebration in the early morning is very much real. The catching of saffron buns however is not part of the tradition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the plot based on a local tradition or story? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Lucy%27s_Day EDIT: it's celebrated by the Swedes all around the world.

Ah, thanks for the confirmation. By omission, I suppose that avoiding gnomes is part of the tradition; otherwise you would have pointed it out as well. Gotcha! Your people have the coolest traditions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Normally you bake your buns or buy them from a bakery or a store. But it would've been an even more dull game about Lucia going late minute shopping at 10:30 PM the evening before the parade. https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Luciabullar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intymike Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 ... Not if the shop had been overtaken by zombies!!! Or by gnomes. In the last level the gnome looks almost like the Slenderman. Frightening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the version from Enrico Caruso. I think my mom played it. The rendition in the game is very good too. I just would like it had less silent parts, perhaps with a longer release on the lower melody, or a more syncopated or rapid melody, like on the last bar. You know, like Italo Disco. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywfq_m191UQ -dZ. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 I tried to make it a bit lika a bossanova or a rhumba, though I'm not entirely sure I got my musical styles correct. Initially it is 3/4, though I hear others have made various 4/4 versions over the years as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially it is 3/4, though I hear others have made various 4/4 versions over the years as well. I think you got it fine, and I like the 3/4 arrangement. I just think that the notes are too short, making the melody have too many long silent parts. Perhaps some lingering notes may help a little. Like I mentioned before, I like the rapid-fire notes on the last bar, and half-wish that there was more of that throughout the tune. dZ.
