Caverns of Kalte released!

[fredc]

Hi!

Against all odds, and after a one-year break, I finally decided to revive the LoneWolfDS project. I updated my development environment to the latest DevKitARM and Palib, and after some weeks of work, here it is: Caverns Of Kalte. For those who had missed the first two volumes, "Flight From The Dark" and "Fire On The Water", this is an attempt at porting good old paper gamebooks to the DS console.

So what's new in this third book?
- A new and exciting adventure in the Icy Wastes of Kalte!
- Improved the game engine for handling more complex events
- Made 2 new musics for even more variety
- Now uses the latest development libs so the compatibility with all new linkers should be improved.

As with "Fire On The Water", you can continue your game from the last book. For this, you need to have the "Fire On The Water.xml" file at the root of your linker, and this saved game must contain at least one slot saved at the end of book 2.

You can get the game here : www.projectaon.org/staff/frederic/index.php

Because of the change of my development tools, I hadn't the possibility to test compatibility on many linkers. So this is a Release Candidate. If you encounter a problem or a bug, please tell me your linker model and I'll try to investigate. Thank you for your feedback!

Spread the word and have fun!

Yipiiiih ! Great thanks !
I'll try this as soon as I reach my last save from book II.
By the way, would it be a good idea to "recompile"the 2 first book with Your new engine ?
(In fact, last time, Ihad probleme to load Book II on my SuperCard DSone with the new EOS, I have to check deeper in this way now that I know Your project is still alive)

More victims of Sommerswerd coming our way!!!

Thanks for the kind words!

Ghuntar: I was considering recompiling the first two books too. But first, I need to know if this new toolchain doesn't break compatibility, more than it improves it. If you want to test a recompiled version of book II, please tell me, and I'll send you one.

You can contact me at lonewolfds<at>free<dot>fr

Thanks!
