Incline Ambermoon rewrite (and unofficial expansion)

[index.php]

Hi. I already posted this over at itch. The game crashes while starting. It happens both when I update 1.9.2 and when I directly download 1.9.3.

Error log:

Ah yes, I see, guy isn't around. Wasn't he active here in the forums at one point? Anyway, I wrote him an Email about the issue.

Release v1.9.4​

Crash fix for 1.9.3

 

[Ludwig von Eisenthal]

And problem solved! This guy is fantastic, I don't regret having sent him a decent amount of "pay-what-you-want"-buckazoids on itch as a token of appreciation for what he does with this wonderful project. His work and dedication really deserves it. Tremendous guy!

Ambermoon Update 1.9.5​

22 hours ago by Pyrdacor (@Pyrdacor)

---

This new update will fix some minor issues and add some quality of life improvements. Let me know if something is not working. Have fun!


Changes in this version:

Fixes​

• When using attribute increasing potions, the values will be updated inside the inventory window immediately (like max weight, dmg, def, etc).
• When using potions or other items on dead persons, they will no longer be consumed (beside items which revive the target of course).
• Fixed a time-related issue which also led to strange sky colors after fast travel in cities sometimes.
• Fixed an issue where the space key in 3D which triggers map events, immediately closed the text popup of the event.
• If the last party member dies in battle but at least one fled before, the game will not end with game over anymore.
• Floor objects in 3D will no longer rotate if you turn your own direction. They will keep the same orientation in relation to the map.
• Fixed some issues with the kill cheat.

Features​

• The behavior of the arrow keys (left and right) can now be changed in the options from turning to strafing (default is turning).
• Options can now be closed with ESC key.
• Yes/No popups can now be confirmed with RETURN key and denied with ESC key.
• Yes/No questions in places like merchants can now be confirmed with RETURN key and denied with ESC key.
• The explore cheat will now update an open dungeon map directly.
• Added new cheats “win” and “flee” to immediately win or flee a fight.

Did Amberstar get this kind of rewrite or was it not needed?

The title of what was supposed to be the third and final game was disclosed by game creator Karsten Köper as being AmberWorlds.

Dang pity.

Wow the guy is on an Amberstar remake too? Fantastic!

Fantasy, but you'll fly around in space and visit moons. Now is the best time to play it. I played it on WinUAE some years ago, but this remake enhances the game and makes the experience perfect without changing the core of it. Brillant stuff.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Yeah! Amberstar!

[Ludwig von Eisenthal]

Fantastic! Even if I repeat myself (and I most certainly do): For me this is the gold standard of how you treat a classic if you want to bring it to modern time. Thoughtful and sensible innovation and respectful treatment of the original material. I can't wait for the Android port. That would be the life - playing Ambermoon on the loo.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I believe Deathlord got similar treatment.

 

[Kliwer]

Quick question about the update: is it possible to use my old saves with this version?

I’m playing this wonderful game now. It is a true shame for RPG Codex that there is almost no discussion about this title (but we have several threads about every modern woke AAA abomination…). The game is great, really on pare with any great classic. Exploration and a sense of discovery are particularly good.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Wasn't it to be a trilogy?

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Amiga is great, and while I only owned an A500 with extra drive and small ram boost it was fantastic. I esp loved SMC (software of the month club where people put pet projects on a collab disk. It could be a sound file, art, story, application, or even a game. Good fun). And the games that came out were awesome. I recall in my c64 days drooling over the game ads showing amiga/atari st.

Currently I am working for a quest log for the remake Ambermoon.net. As you explore the world new quest lines or quest steps may pop up. In this video there is only one quest line visible but of course later there could be many.
