Hi to all,
I am currently developing a text adventure called The Queen's Footsteps.
I prepared versions for many different computers and I decided that the CPC version is now a release candidate.
It can be freely downloaded here: http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/index.php?argument=varie/queen/queen.inc&language=English
The game takes place in Genoa and Turin, two Italian cities, at the beginning of the XXth century, in a sort of mix between Art Nouveau (hence the Mucha's splash screen) and Steampunk.
I tried my best, but since I am not an expert of CPC development, I'd be very happy to receive some feedback!
Playing it now, it seems well written!
The loading screen is really lovely - saw it on Twitter the other day.
Wish I had time to play a text adventure... :(
I´ll give it a shot after finishing "Unhallowed" 8)
Thank you very much! I hope you'll enjoy it!
I like the historical scenario - very intriguing!
Thank you, dthrone!
I had a great fun writing the story. About a year ago, a friend gave me a tourist guide of the Nortern Italy, dating back from 1904. I used it as an inspiration for descriptions of Genoa and Turin. The game is not strictly historical though, as I took a certain degree of freedom on some details.
Here is a page about the game background, it contains spoilers so you can unlock the different paragraphs with the passwords given at the end of the different parts of the game: http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/index.php?argument=varie/queen/background.inc (http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/index.php?argument=varie/queen/background.inc)

Thanks for the extra info, I'm looking forward to giving it a try!
Hello,
will you release v1.1 for Amstrad CPC ?
