Could you please use a more standard compression? I've got nothing that handles .ACE - why not use 7Zip?

I didn't either - so I downloaded one and it worked fine.

(To be honest, I hadn't even heard of ACE files before!)

It strikes me that players appreciating low resolution graphics is much like people still enjoying Ray Harryhausen's amazing stop-motion animation in the age of amazing computer visuals.  Sure, they're not as advanced and in a way don't look as "good" as CGI, but there's an amazing artistry to Harryhausen's work that goes far beyond its the simple visual impact of the animation itself.

I think "adventure games" is a term understood very differently by adventure game fans (ie the AGS community) and the more mainstream / hardcore game players (who mainly seem to like blowing things up  :o).  "Classic adventure games" tends to make me think of late 80s / early 90s adventure games.  But again "classic" is such a subjective term - I would say that TellTale's Sam & Max adventure games are classics, but they're not all that old.  Also, where does, for instance, adventure end and action adventure / arcade adventure start?  What about RPGs, which often have similar elements to adventure games?

Game developers have been having a lot of fun mixing up genres in the last decade, so perhaps genre classification is itself outdated?

Looking forward to this - glad to see you managed to get a tester and release it

It's a fascinating concept.  Congrats on the release, hopefully I'll have time to play this sometime soon.

EDIT - had a chance to play it now - really different and nice little game!

Looks good.  I'm glad you're still working on this game 

Great news!  I liked the first Dwarven Dagger game, though I'm not quite sure if I ever completed it or not.  Nice graphic style you've got for the sequel (I seem to remember the first game being rather different visually... is it just my dodgy memory?!?)

Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder maybe.

the "Eye of the Beholder" series would be cool for a remake, would the game be first person like Morrowind and "Neverwinter Nights" or would it be like "Baldur's Gate" and "Icewind Dale"?

I was definitely thinking first-person RPG.  I find them much more immersive.
