Title: Mortville Manor remake
Post by: arj0n on Sun 28/11/2021 00:22:30
Mortville Manor remake

This is a remake of the 1st-person-perspective adventure game from Lankhor (1987/1988).
Mortville Manor is the predecessor of the probably better known Maupiti Island (1990).

Lankhor's games were really cool and a great inspiration for me! I played them back when they were first released on 5'25 floppy disks on an Amstrad PC 1512, awesome memories  :-D

The game is only missing speech for one last female character: Ida.  :~(
It's not a big job, just 40 lines of text. As the game is freeware, it's an unpaid task.
Who can help me out?  :-*

I will ask another friend. Could you send me a character description and the lines via PM?

Thank you very much Mandle, but someone has just volunteered as a potential VA for Ida.

No more positions open.

I hadn't heard of Lankhor until I stumbled on this thread. I got inspired, did some digging and played the Black Sect remake from the database, which was awesome! It was just what I had been looking for after playing some MacVenture titles  :-D

I'm sure you'll do a great job with this one. Having three palettes to choose from sounds like such a treat (the Dos(EGA) is my favorite by far).

Looking forward to playing this - it's one I always wanted on the ST years ago but never had the money to buy.


It does of course make me wonder if you're going to do a Maupiti Island remake at some point...  :-D
