I completed the game, it was very fun.
I was not certain before starting so I was happy it was a full length game with at least a bit of everything.
Finding the third key was satisfying after visiting the castle first and searching there for a time. The last hint got me at first, dark river and stones made me think of the mine in the fishing town, but then there were not that many other places to try so I found the place eventually.
Action Points are the right addition to an Ultima-inspired game, and the exploration part probably hits the right spot for people who want to have to pay attention to what people say without having to take pages of notes.
Good job.
Hello. Did you make your game using this BScript? (http://bscript.sourceforge.net/) Or was it another compiler with the same title but with different abilities? I can't find the BScript compiler/interpreter for Windows. Where did you find it?
Hello,
No Svaltfen is written in my own language: https://github.com/uzudil/benji4000/wiki/LanguageFeatures
It runs in a virtual machine that simulates a "lost" 80s home computer: https://github.com/uzudil/benji4000
Thank you for reply. Would you make a Bscript's installation package for Windows, please?
I'll add it to my list to do soon. Meanwhile if you grab the source from the link above, you can build it yourself with "go build".
New package works, thanks !
I updated the download packages - hopefully this solves the issues for windows. Let me know if it doesn't work!
Thanks!
Yeah I've heard sorry. I'll try to find a windows machine and fix it. Sorry!
Doesn't work on windows 7 and 10.
