This looks really cool - congratulations! Let us know if/when the English language translation comes out

Durq · Thu 09/01/2020 05:13:16

This game looks great. How's the English translation coming along? Is someone still working on it?

Gendgi · Thu 09/01/2020 06:43:03

Oh sweet! I am portuguese living in Spain lol so language is not a prob hehe, will try it when I have the chance

Oh my god! It looks so sweet!

Too bad I don't speak the language. But the graphics, man, that's right up my alley.

I have a weird question. How did you manage to make the art looking kinda like stretched out to the sides? What I mean is that the individual "pixels" are not exactly squares, but rather rectangles. Because it looks exactly as classic Sierra games, and they had this "effect". When I wanted to make Sierra backgrounds they looked completely different because they were typical square pixels.

Thanks to everyone!

Durq: There's only a small translated section. But, an AGS forum user played the game,liked it and wants to translate it. So... stay tunned!
AnaMoon: Thanks for the gameplay!

Thanyx: In Photoshop (or similar, i guess) draw a 2 pixels rectangle with the pencil tool and select them. Go to EDIT>Define Brush Preset. Name it (i called it AGI Pencil) and... that's all. Now you have a new pencil with those characteristics.

A new version (1.3) is in the works and it will come with the long awaited (for me at least

) english translation.

Athanor · Wed 02/09/2020 22:54:40

That's fantastic news! I'm eager to play the game.

A la verga, this looks great. I love the artwork, it's really evokative of the style. Let me know if you need a hand with some of the English translation.

Stupot · Fri 04/09/2020 06:15:57

Oh this looks great. Good stuff.

Nice art style!

Postmodern Adventures · Fri 04/09/2020 09:54:05

Thanks for your words!
For this version i'm improving the speech style. Old versions had Lucas Arts speech style, but some players complained that the color of the text was sometimes confused with the background. This is the result now:

Athanor · Fri 04/09/2020 13:47:03

I like the new speech style, very clear and clean. Man I can't wait for the english version of this game.

KyriakosCH · Fri 04/09/2020 13:50:27

Me too. The painting of the priestess/saint reminded me of Santa Sangre

That's great! I've started playing the game in Spanish but didn't go very far. There were a lot of dialogues and I had to play it very slowly (my Spanish isn't the best...). Can't wait for the English translation!

At last the new version is out! It includes:

-English Translation. Thanks to Gretchen Uhler and Guillermo G. Zapico (gspit1124 and zapzap in these forums)

-New Speechstyle with portraits for every character.

-More backgrounds animations.

-More sounds.

I hope you enjoy the game!
