Thanks for your comments on the games. You might like to play around with the theme selections rather than edit the config file directly. Although that will work! The choice of default font was guided by readability on mobiles. Unfortunately, some …

Hi Jay, yes indeed! We're actually working on a sequel to Fish (although the original is not yet remastered) and there's a "sort of" plan to make a sequel to Guild.
-
Hi, Thanks for these suggestions. I've added these to the source code. Whenever we next build Jinxter it will go in! :-)

Hi, Thanks a lot for playing our games and sending in your thoughts and suggestions. I've added your points to our list of todos/bug/suggestions, which we maintain here. We always like to make improvements and sometimes a good idea can be really s…

Nice one! I can see how that would be. Need a good idea to fix this as otherwise you would win without the missing 5 points. Ideas welcome.

That's interesting. I've seen "Phantom" things appear at the very bottom of lists when using the list component in other apps. Not yet in the games though. Perhaps it is that. I'll check it out.

ChoiceScript? We did have an experimental CS interpreter. It was good for nearly all of CS, but there were a few things that didn't work quite the same way. If your game is simple, it should work. If not, it could be made to work without too much e…

Yes Fish! is being remastered. It will be "Fish Resurfaced" :-) Also, there's work underway for a, brand new and shiny, Fish2! game.
-
I've already made a couple of demos with the new system, but it's not quite ready for production. Phil South is working with us now on material for Fish2!, so that will be interesting, and it will use the new system. This week, I've been putting in …

That's interesting! I had a go, but the generated stories are incongruous and wildly fragmented. The problem with all these AI things is lack of continuity; which is obviously quite important for plots and games. I think what might be more interes…

I don't think we have the right to remaster Legacy, unfortunately. The rights of the originals were retained by Magnetic Scrolls until its demise. We have the righs to these directly from the original company owners, but the same legal situation doe…

Sorry, was unable to install Manjaro under vmware. vmtools that provide shared filesystems didnt work.
-
Hi, Sorry to hear that. I'm just downloading Manjaro now, will try the AppImage and report.

Just to add; (Spoiler)

Yes indeed. The source code for everything is here, specifically the original game code is here. The Pawn, The Guild and Jinxter are complete, for the others, only the .f23 files are there currently as the code doesn't built yet. Fish! will be ne…
-
The feature has been added to the standard system, so all updates released will have the option.
-
Thanks for your feedback on the ambient sounds. Yes, we added some to Jinxter. My favourite is the aqualung, because it actually helps to remind you that you're wearing it. Currently Stefan is doing a fantastic job of collecting some ambient sound…

Hi! Yes, i'm going to gather everything together including some historical MS docs i've recovered and publish them.
-
Hi Philipp, I had a go experimenting with your idea. Here's a demonstration clip using Fish!. If I understand correctly, the text can only scroll down with the roller into a small view providing the text is small enough to fit. Otherwise the last …

Hi Philipp, Thanks for your feedback on Jinxter! The new endings are thanks to Stefan who figured out a new set of "win" states depending on luck as well as score. A definite improvement over the original lackluster ending. Regarding the…

That's a really good idea! Turns out there is a transcript option in the game (for the desktop editions); whatever.exe -t filename.txt Will record the game transcript as you play into filename.txt. However, this is not connected to save or load g…

Hi There, and thanks for your interest in our remasters. It would be fairly straightforward to have the words appear at a configurable speed. However, in the originals i think the words would appear in clusters, depending on how they were arranged …
-
Yes! I have PM you a message.

Windows version with new buttons is on itch.io

Hi Siggel, I have rolled out a new Android version 1.2.13.9. This ought to fix the save game incompatbility. I've tested it by loading one of your games listed in your links above and it worked. Version should be available in the next hour or so (…

Just catching up with this thread. Let me try some tests here. Will report...

Done! Will be in next release (Image)
