• new: intro for CD version with voice (LucyG)
• fix: fade music volume while playing voice from CD (LucyG)

The Windows release version is (as always) compiled with lcc-win32. The source code also compiles nicely with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express. For the future (version 0.5+) it's planned to also compile with GCC and (maybe) vbcc, so binary releases may be provided for AROS and Raspberry Pi.

One thing that really annoys me is the collision detection in planning that doesn't allow to turn a character around. Because "turning" was never meant as an action in the planner (like "moving" and "working"), it would require some serious effort to implement it.... read more

Today v0.3 is released. Several bugs were fixed and for the first time the game is really playable. There are some big changes in the pipeline for the coming 0.4 release - stay tuned ;)

The English Profidisk version and the German CD image (bin/cue) were added for your gaming (and testing) pleasure. Additionally, some bugfixes are scheduled for version 0.3 (which will break existing savegames).

After more than 10 years and more than 16000 downloads, there has finally been a contribution! User R.F.T. added (experimental) mouse support and fixed some bugs in loading/saving games. Thanks!

We had almost 200 downloads, and I'm sure several people have compiled the sources and applied some changes. Maybe you have fixed a bug, found a way to speedup something or added some feature.

Please post your comments to the public forums. As we have no CVS running, the only way to contribute to the OpenSource project is to post your additions and code snippets to the forum.

LucyG (that's me) has spent quite some of his spare time to provide you the sources and maintain this site. Now it's time to give some feedback, isn't it?

The keyboard handler did only react to KEYUP events. Fixed for cursor keys.

German Profidisk version released today.
