| Version 1.4: Faster and smoothermajor When Encounter was released in December 2024, the priority was to make sure the game was playable and did not have any critical defects. Most reports have been positive, but I knew there were a few things that could have been done better. This update focuses on polishing the experience. Performance issues For a game running on a 1MHz 6502, the game runs quite smoothly overall. However the intro… | 23060478 | |
| Version 1.3: The Big Onemajor So, version 1.3.0 is out, and it's kind of a big one. Actually, scratch that — it's the biggest update since the game launched back in December 2024. A new voice This is probably the change you'll notice first: the game now has a consistent narrative voice. The top window (the scene description) acts as a narrator — neutral, descriptive, setting the stage. But the text area where you interact?… | 22395777 | |
| Version 1.2.3: New Demo!major Last Friday I attended an Oslo Gamedev Meetup and some of the people there tried my game, and it quickly became obvious there were two big issues! The first one was problematic, quite a few of the players actually skipped the intro sequence completely without really noticing, which meant they did not actually get to read the instructions! The second one is that the demo version was old. Quite o… | 19803276 | |
| Final version!major We are reaching the end of the project! Encounter was released in December 2024, and since then, there has been a steady stream of improvements and tweaks. However, I've reached the point where the disk is completely full, and so is the game's memory. For those who haven't followed the project, this is not a typical PC game. It's a game running on a 1984 computer called the Oric, with a 1 MHz 6… | — | |
| Version 1.2: Monkey King!major This version 1.2.0 finally brings in a playable Monkey King minigame! If you played the game before, you may have found a handheld device in one of the rooms, but unfortunately it was not playable because it was out of batteries. Fortunately, after exploring the mansion a bit more, our investigator finally found some compatible batteries! Some assembly is required, but you'll be rewarded with a… | 18685190 | |
| Version 1.1.2: Back to BASIC!major As you can see, the development of the game is not yet finished ! I only had a few bytes remaining on disk, so many of the things I wanted to add were unfortunately impossible to do... but then I remembered that my storage system only used 17 sectors per track while the hardware would work just fine with 18 sectors... which brings us an addition 256 bytes for each track on the floppy, and since… | 18112411 | |
| Version 1.1.1 - Almost there! We are soon reaching the end of the project: Most of the issues have been fixed, and truth be told, there's not much free room on either the disk on in memory for much improvements! If you have played the game and liked it, it would be very nice to leave a small review: Steam tends to show games that have at least ten reviews, and here unfortunately with only 4 reviews the game is now in the al… | 17958932 | |
| Version 1.1.0: Joystick support, Steam Deck! This is a relatively big update, the game itself has not changed but a new alternative control scheme has been added which should make it easier to play (assuming you have a compatible controller), in addition, the new version of Oricutron should help with some of the keyboard issues and the ugly status bar is finally gone! The game has been tested on Steam Deck and is working nicely, the docum… | 17653870 | |
| Version 1.0.6 - Fix: Added a missing "r" on the credits page with the game URL - Fix: Using the small key should now display the proper message instead of "it's too dark" - Fix: Trying to open the safe should now display that it's locked instead of "can't do that" - Tweak: The mini explosion has been tweaked so it happed at the right time and place whatever the player do - Tweak: Reordered the alarm triggere… | 17209378 | |
| Version 1.0.5 The only significant change in this version is that the parser will no longer accept additional keywords if they are not relevant to the command. For example, instructions like PAUSE or QUIT don't take any parameters, but previously, the game would not complain if you tried to PAUSE ROPE or QUIT TREE. The additional ROPE or TREE words were simply ignored. Similarly, USE or READ only require a s… | 17052078 | |
| Version 1.0.4 Watching a Twitch streamer last week I realized there were a couple of things that could be improved. I've a few more updates to come, but here is a new version with a first batch of improvements. Changes - Misc: Reimplemented HandleByteStream and PrintInventory in assembler to reduce the code size - Tweak: Reduced a tiny bit the timing of the clock at the start of the game - Improvement: Tryin… | 16974720 | |
| Version 1.0.3 Not many changes in this version 1.0.3, mostly some quality of life improvement to let players have more time to read long texts or examine pixel art details: List of changes: · Fixed an accent error introduced in the previous version · Improvement: Added some key press waits after elements that take a long time to read · Improvement: Added Scotland to the map | 16906211 | |
| Version 1.0.1 Hello everybody, and thank you if you bought the game, much appreciated! I got some feedback regarding some typos, some sentences that could be worded differently, some interactions which could be added, also some of you tried the game on their real Oric and found out that their TV did not like the 60hz frequency set-up by the game. In addition to that, there were some mentions of the keyboard… | 16837822 | |
| Launch day!major This is launch day ! A day which is both exciting and full of unknowns! After working on this game for so long, it feels like a scary milestone, but hey, not much we can do at this point. Players will hopefully enjoy the game, and for those who don't, that's okay because this is not a game for everybody! No change log in this message. Let's just say that the current version would not have been… | 16814324 |
