Hi, I’m contacting you because I want to make a homebrew tribute USB. I’m collecting as many content creators as possible. I also want to include a profile for each one, with a few details, such as their logo, avatar, name, work completed, projects, etc., so you can see who’s behind their creations.
That profile, along with any material you allow me to upload, will be placed on a USB drive. This will act as a database of creators and their creations, and will be updated as I connect with new people.
The USB I’m thinking of creating will be one of those rubber-type USBs, shaped like a Spectrum computer, something that looks really nice. The idea is that those who contribute material, and if they want to buy one or more, will get it at cost price, and those who just want to buy one, it will cost a little more.
The idea is that if enough are sold, enough to recover the initial investment, the profits that the rest of the USBs could generate will be distributed among the people who have contributed material to the project, via transfer, PayPal, or however possible, even if possible, that the USB will be free. Obviously, you can buy more than one, but only one of them can be free.
It’s not necessary or mandatory to buy the USB, only if you like it or want it.
If you’re interested in this project, you can contact me at this email, flopping@gmail.com. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know and I’ll answer them. Do you think the idea is a good one? Would you like to participate in the project? Let me know. Best regards.
Hello Juan, thanks, currently we do not want this game to be included in any usb project, and our older projects are already included in another different usb project than yours so I apologize and for now we choose not to take part on your project. Thanks for asking, it is really appreciated, but currently we prefer not being included. We wish you the best for your project!!
Ok, no problem, the fact that they’re published elsewhere doesn’t exclude the possibility of doing it on mine as well, but the USB project I’m working on isn’t about games, but rather creators. I don’t need you to authorize more than one game, but if you’re not interested, that’s fine. Thank you very much for everything.
Good luck! I am sure other authors will be very interested, sounds really good, it is just that this year we have been participating in different usb, group carousell apps (for MSX emulating machine for instance), Itch.io charity bundles (e.g. solidaridad con Valencia) and this year has been a lot of things like this, not only a usb project. We want to focus on new games from now on. Best of luck. :)
Nice graphics and atmospheric music, fits this game well. I included the game in my new "Gameplay of New ZX Spectrum Games from November 2024" video, along with other recently released ZX Spectrum games.
Great work! The graphics are excellent, the story unfolds as it should and the overall feeling is even better than your previous games. I probably would prefer a more spooky soundtrack, but that's just me. One thing though: is it possible to add a save game or password system so that the player can continue the game without having to go all the way again when he loses?
Hi, thank you very much for your kind words! Furillo IADVD here. About the music, yeah I understand your point :D I tried to make some loops with well known tunes and some of my own songs... and I think the mood is there more or less, but yeah it could be more spooky :D . The point about saving games... yes I was thinking about it... but I am not sure if I have enough memory to do so, probably if I add (i.e. our former game The Doom of the Pond has it) like 3 lives, it would be easy to play it. The Doom of the Pond solution was: you die, then the "bad end" screen appears, and, depending on the times you died lets you go back to the last moment you took an option, so you can avoid dying by selecting another one. This happens up to three times, and when you die again, you die definitely. I can put something like that... probably I will have to remove some phrases in order to free enough bytes to do so (I am using almost any -if not all the- available bytes for texts and logic). We are preparing a cassette tape of the game so I will try to add that feature to the master of the cassette tape and I will try to publish a new .tap later on (if possible due to the available space). Cheers and thanks for the feedback!
Thank you very much for considering the 3 lives fix. Of course there's a workaround for the lack of the saving option, one can always play the game on an emulator and save snapshots of his progress, although it's a bit like cheating. Once again thank you for your great game and congratulations on the amazing artistic work!
Hello again! I uploaded two new .tap files with the 4 lives version in English and Spanish. So now there are four downloadables: the .tap English version and the .tap Spanish version with just one life (if you die you start the whole game again) and with 4 lives (if you die you will automatically restart from the latest safe point). Please enjoy it! Cheers and thanks for the feedback! :D
Juego comprado, amigos de Furillo otro peazo de juego ETPA que os habeis "cascao" y con mi personaje favorito Parrish jejeje. Un abrazo y a segucreando mas juegos de este nivel. Sois de los más grandes, un fuerte abrazo
